I don't see why is it a agp or PCIe card? I had 2 X1650 pros running with no problems and I had the same FPS avrg of 30 to 70 for IL2. With the new 8.4 CCC drivers installed.

The issue is specific to the x1950 cards (either AGP or PCI-E) and is a generally-known issue. Catalyst 7.11 was the last driver package to produce good frame-rates with this particular card. From Cat 8.1 onwards the f.p.s. is greatly reduced, about the time that Ati started concentrating on their new 38xx releases and DX10.

The 1650 series have a different architecture to the 1950s, in some way unaffected by the cut-off. The 1950 is a one-off in this respect and can't be over-clocked either btw.

The game was never designed to be Alt-Tabbed to and from the desktop (or using Windows key). That said, it does work sometimes but not always.

No mate, I did it maybe thousands times for 2-2,5 years but never seen any problem before doing some changes.
