I have a brand new xfx ATI 4870 card that I purchase some months ago and had all kinds of issues installing this card and running my game. I pulled this card and went back to my 9600GT. Just wondering if anyone has this card running and what drivers are you using and what setting? Thanks TC

If you are happy now, congrats!

But, with a little effort you could have googled for issues about ATi/Il2
And you would have found solutions for problems wich not really are problems...

There are hundreds of posts (AAA, Ubisoft, 1C publishing) concerning issues with people complaining about this or that..
And SOLUTIONS are given all the time by dedicated ATi users (PF Coastie, Urufu Sinjuru and others like Fireskull)

One example is the blocky text issue since Cat9.9 or higher. Very quickly one was offered this solution: get early atioglxx.dll and put them in your IL2 folder and voila...issue gone!
Use this solution and the game runs flawlessly, assuming you set the game up for use with ATi !!

As a reward, you will get a prettier picture compared to the other brand.

As far as I am concerned, I get EVERY ATi card to work PERFECTLY with Il2 (I happen to build rigs for living), highest possible settings with 50+ FPS at least in almost every situation.

I am talking about the whole series, from 3800 to 5800 (the 3870 still is an astonishing performer)

Hope this helps you to retry the ATi 4870 you have..
