Well I for one still don't see any improvements with ATI and open GL especialy with the new 8.6 drivers, I run ATI HD 3650s 512mb Sapphire Crossfire X set up and I had to go back to 8.4 drvrs. NVIDA has out done open-GL far more superior.

I agree that Nvdia cards are much better than ati cards. I never had a ati card. I bought my first computer when i was 7 years old and it had a 256 color nvdia card. The second computer was a p4 1,3 ghz with 32mb nvdia tnt2. After that i bought a Athlon 2200 with a geforce 5700, but one day the card burned down so i went to the 6600. My second computer was AthlonX2 4400 with a 7900gt but it burned down after a year so i bought a 8600gt in july of 2007. And in january of 008 i sold the 8600 for 80 euros and i bought my super powerful 8800gt 512mb. The graphics are realy perfect with this card.

@Baxter Stockman

it´s very difficult to take someone serious who makes a decision knowing only one side.

Friend of mine got his 4850 radeon on saturday last week and he is able to run IL2 with no problems at all.

PS: why are you all posting in here if you have somewhat nothing to say regarding 3850 and IL2? Why? Why don't you just move along?

ATI is officially back in the race with the 4850 and 4870 and the pricing is terrific. I will soon be picking one up for myself.

Here is two good reviews. All be sure to view the customer reviews over at newegg.com.

Cheapest price here in Au for a 280 is $730 as against $320 for a 4870.

Opens up how a pair in CF would perform, although I think for most people this would be overkill for IL2, unless you're running a 30" monitor.

Well, there will, no doubt, still be a refresh of both the NV and ATI offerings before any of the sims on my watch-list come to fruition. Accordingly, I'll stick with my current card (8800GTS 512) at least until one or more of them are reported to have gone gold. Then I'll buy or build again.
