Indeed.
I did read a recent post over at UBI from a mate that went from a 9800Pro to a 6800 and only receive a few extra fps.
As pointed out, IL-2 is just a mad game, demanding lots of CPU power, fast RAM, and yes, a hard working video card.
But it's free why the worry mate?

Have to be honest here m8 but the 5200 even in it's ultra from were not renowned for their speed
. Having said that I cant answer your question because I don't know much about the 9200!!

I think I had the 9200 (or the 9700) pro for awhile... I wasn't that impressed to be honest... I made a large leap of faith shortly after taking the card back and got the nVidia 6800GT Ultra 256MB... I have to say that I really like it... but that doesn't really help you does it?
Sorry...

I'd go for the best possible version of 9200 if I had to choose between nVidia and ATI (choose ATI 9200 or nVidia 5200).
I had ATI 8500 LE and it was great card for very reasonable price, much better then the 900 or 9100,some say it was bette then 9200, however I don't know that.
