I DON’T want to start a tinkling contest of “Mine is better than yours”..
But I would like to use some of the outstanding experience on this forum.. I need some input from guys who are actually using these Video cards.. In IL2!

I have read on several forums that Nvidia, the GTX 460 in particular.. are having frame rate problems with Open GL.. Since IL2 runs best (and in ‘perfect’ mode) in Open GL.. This is a concern..

I have been a Nvidia guy for the last 7 years or so.. mainly because both my brother and I experienced a very high failure rate of ATI cards.. Before AMD bought them.. I am saying this to emphasis I have NO ALLEGIANCE to either brand.. I just want a trouble free, reliable card for IL2..

I Do Not have a leading bleeding edge computer.. I have and Intel Core 2 Duo E8500..with a NV 8800 GT... And windows XP.. (although I may try windows 7)… depending how much spare cash I have.. and your advice will determine which card I get… My sweet spot is generally around $200.00 US +/- $20.00..
