Every tech site I frequent, including AnandTech, Tom's Hardware, and Engadget, have all announced the specs and the names for nVidia's newest cards, quoted from nVidia themselves. They are, for a fact, the GTX480 and GTX470. I suspect that the even cheaper (lol) versions will be the GTX460 and then GTS450, etc. This is purely speculative on my part, though. As for laptops, well, we've already got "GT300M" parts, but they are all just slightly overclocked GT200M parts, which are in turn underclocked, die-shrunk G92/G94 parts. Again, that is a fact, not speculation.

While I agree that ATi has had some driver issues in the past, they are shaping up nicely now. IL-2 has its quirks, yes, but I personally wouldn't let that stop me from buying the best deal on the market.

Good day, Axial

Nice stuff, that for me rehashes the same information. Go to YouTube, better yet, go to the nVidia website and check the issues. As I see NVIDIA executives on public internet webcasts give statements, ask questions, and make promises, I tend to believe them over you. I don't intend to sound mean-its just logical.

The most important things that I have to say which is relevant to this topic for everyone's benefit, is this:

ATI driver problems are current issues with late model ATI graphic cards Here is another verifiable point where you are wrong, Axial. Again, I don't intend to be mean-just state the real facts.

Important for everyone: For more information on this, anyone can go to my tech help Sticky topic called "PC Technical Relationship to IL-2: This info helps everyone" at the top of this Forum. Go to my subtopic called " ATI Enhancements ". Look in the "ATI Trouble-shooting" area. Follow the links which deal with ATI issues and you will have ALL THE PROOF THAT YOU NEED! :wink:

This is quite relevant to AKA_Mountain, perhaps because he would like to avoid the long hassle that some ATI users have in eliminating blocky text and other strange anomalies produced by ATI drivers. Everybody can benefit from these facts, Axial, my friend.
