....and snagged a GeForce 3 while I was out.

Man what a difference this thing makes. I could only run Q3 and HL at 1028x768 with most the cool features off and would only get 50 FPS.

Now i'm running at 1028x768 with everything up and in 32bit mode and it's pegged at 99!

Also, now IL-2 runs completely smooth in and outside the cockpit. Plus there is no slow downs over trees! I take back a few things i said about the trees. If your doing 240 in a 109 chasing a mig the trees look killer. but if your right on the deck they still look funny from the side.

SDOE has improved a bit but not much. 3DFX's FSAA and Nvidia's FSAA are two different things. Nvidia is by far the best when it comes to FSAA.

I'm stilll trying to find a game with T&L to check it out, think IL2 has it but not sure.

Oh, FSH is back up!!

So you're saying that IL-2 needs a GeForce 3 to run without stuttering?

If you check out www.ilyushin2.net there are lots of threads about this issue.

Extrapolate from that.

Except over Berlin with your settings is all Ok. Over Berlin with more then 500,000 building you may have some small problems, but which not freeze you gameplay.

Does that help?
