Due to the way AH has different ways of displaying on nvidia cards vs ati cards, the clouds are not a good option for me.
Say you have a wispy cloud layer, darker grey haze/fog, then another wispy cloud layer.
On an nvidia card, player names actually disapper between the 2 wispy layers, as the icons are displayed behind the haze somehow. This was repeated many times the past 5 frames (counting north sea).
Also, nvidia graphics tie the clipboard and all clipboard icon colors to the sunlight. Darker sunlight dims the green colors, and against the blue background with limited light, I was literally struggling to read the clipboard to find my start base.
Somebody else told me (when I brought this lament up) that they never had this problem. On a hunch I asked the make of their vid card, and it was ATI. I've had it on 5 major PC upgrades, 4 motherboards, 3 nvidia graphics cards, and 3 CPUs. Across the board, nvidia cards seem to get the shaft in these settings.
I'm hoping to get an ATI soon, and that should put these, and many other bugs behind me.
