Waco Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 The 9.9 driver is mostly a bugfix driver. If I recall correctly it's slower with the 4850 and faster with the higher end cards. ATI doesn't really have any more problems than nVidia though if you ignore poor Crossfire optimization. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATI doesn't really have any more problems than nVidia though if you ignore poor Crossfire optimization. That's the biggest problem I have. Crossfire performance does not scale as well or in as many games as SLI. I am still looking for an ATI driver that works well with IL-2........

I am still looking for an ATI driver that works well with IL-2........ Mine too, considering I have a Crossfire card. I'm seriously considering getting a 5870 just to get rid of the hassle of it (assuming they perform like the charts in this thread indicate).

Waco Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 what resolution do you play at?? 1920x1080, but I always use edge-detect antialiasing and 16x anisotropic filtering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that better than the AA that the average game has?? (and something the 4890 wouldn't be able to handle as well??) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and something the 4890 wouldn't be able to handle as well??) Yep. You can't do edge-detect without Crossfire. I always have transparency antialiasing on as well.
