Thanks to {HH}Overby, we have some good hope for the future. here is what he said:
I've been bugging EA via phone just about every day now and got some answers. First they said my card was not supported but kind of changed their tone when I told them the box said a 8500 or greater. The person I talked to said ea games and ati were working to solve the conflict between the ati cards and the new patch. He did reference the many posts in forums so maybe all this complaining and stuff is working. I must say I was suprised to get the straight forward answers and a person that was actually helpful and not waisting my time. They recommended that we adjust our setting so they are the same as before the patch and wait until they could fix the problem with either a NEW DRIVER DOWNLOAD or a NEW FIXED PATCH. Lets cross our fingers and hope this isn't bs.
