It isn't that simple. I have a crossfire motherboard, I can get a second card that takes me past almost any GF for £120, to beat that combination in a single Geforce card would cost £380. My motherboard doesn't do SLI, and two cards wouldn't be as cheap as one even if it did.

I do like the idea of Ati and AMD as underdogs united. Other than that, I'm slowly coming around to the view that where Open GL in games is concerned, you may have a point.

Thats ok I have the P5WDHdelux its a mobo crossfire set-up, I can run SLI on it no problem. I had 2 x HD 3870's running in crossfire and they would only get 40fps in IL2 4.09mb1 max'ed out...

SLI is ran through your cards, the mobo crossfire is only for the ATI cards that don't need the bridge, the HD 3870's and above that need the bridge use only the ATI CCC crossfire set up enabled... Don't be fooled into think just because it states crossfire Mobo it just means it can be bridged through the Mobo..

Well, I think Alpha was right when he said that the latest couple of Catalyst versions have a problem with OpenGL, at least as far as this old game is concerned. I flew online for a few hours last night, using the 9.5s, and never saw a single problem.

If we're gonna get into product fanaticism - here's a BD score from this driver set - Frames: 10200 - Time: 150000ms - Avg: 68.000 - Min: 26 - Max: 159

That's also with 'maxed-out' settings; I don't think I'm going to junk my Radeon quite yet
