I only ever experienced this problem when it was set to 256. 512 worked just fine. Except now that I upgraded my machine, the game simply fails to render anything properly, so I haven't bothered to test anything out.

I too have some problems with AI cards. I have an HD5770, and can't play more than a few minutes without the sky turning dark blue and/or the whole screen turning white. Sometimes, everything but the water underlayer of the maps disappears. Anyone know of thread dedicated to these problems?

Awesome, thanks. Ill look into getting the best CPU I can, but I'll be wanting to wait for some good deals next month. Maybe I can get a new stick for cheap, too...

Hey guys, saw the discussion here and thought I'd ask for some advice on getting new hardware. Current setup is SLI'd 8800GT's, Athlon 3800+ DC (First gen dual core... bought this rig ages ago) and whatever RAM its been so long I can't tell. I'm tossing CPU/Mobo/Video/RAM and replacing with with a AM3 socket AMD mobo, at least 4gb DDR3 1600 RAM, and a RADEON HD 5770. I'm torn between (due to budget constraints) a dual core proc with higher clock rates, or a quad core with lower clock rates... or go in between and get one of the X3 processors. Any recommendations? my budget is going to be around 450 dollars, unless Black Friday turns out to be completely awesome.
