I upgraded from a GTX285 to a 6970 specifically for this sim and wish I hadn't. CloD has significant and annoying artefacts even with the latest drivers (specifically, the blue stripes on the horizon). Given the vast amount of work they have to do on various other aspects of the game I am not confident this will get fixed in the near future. My advice would be to buy a GTX570 or 580 instead. I guess it depends on how much confidence you have in the 1C team and how long you are prepared to wait. My own confidence in them has largely faded away. However, on the plus side, the 6970 runs RoF very well.

I'm willing to bet that is not a significant issue to fix. Banding like that is usually driver related and either ATI can make a fix, or tell 1C what they are doing that is causing the problem. Its also not a show stopper at the moment so I'd bet unless it gets handed to them on a platter its going to be on the back burner for a while when the critical issues get worked on. I've seen the same thing in other sims..

It's only a certain range of ati's that have though? I have a 4870x2 and do not see these lines at all and has been that way since launch.

Its only visible from very low altitude.. like 3K feet..at least on my system.. If you go up where the BoB actually occurred you won't even notice it
