Question for ATI users..

[G R I M M!!!!]

I have been experiencing issues as of late and decided to pull my Nv9800gtx.. popped in a older ati card and things are better but have some fps drops in firefights...

My question is does anyone currently run a new/newer ATI video card that can play all the new games(bf3-diablo3 etc / without shuddering problems in dod?

I tried a 5770 when they first came out and got random shuddering.. 90fps.60.90.40.90fps - put the nvidia card back in and had no issues.


Thanks!

I use XFX 6850 and I don't have any shuddering problems in dod.
It can also run BF3 with pretty good fps on Medium/High settings.

Had a 5970 that had no issues. Had issues with other games (second gpu was borked) and switched over to Nvidia.

i had an ati card in my laptop and had the fps drops as well, i did a bunch of shit to it to get it to be "bearable" then my laptop started overheating (not related) and went back to my old desktop with a geforce 9800gt. dod runs so smooooooooooth. my advice? buy an nvidia card, from what i understand ati cards don't handle a certain aspect of older game very well (maybe it was opengl? i cant really remember.)

ATI cards don't handle OpenGL applications that well which I believe is due to issues with their drivers. Try turning the ingame video option to D3D and running the game.

Thanks for the info guys!

This is so true. Same thing with IL-2 1946. That game looks the best with OpenGL which Nvidia cards inherently run better. I have an ATI card and use OpenGL but it doesn't run it nearly as smooth as an Nvidia card would.

i have an ati hd5730 and crashes dod on d3d...

let me refrain, It crashed but opened again quit nicely. I have odd lines across the game here and there and the writing of names and chat is a bit outa funk but the game is clear as fuck and smooth like a babys bottom. Maybe im on to something....

To refrain is to keep yourself from doing something. Refrain, the noun, is a recurring phrase or passage (e.g. a chorus). Fuck.

let me recapitulate this refrainage.
