Not read through the thread, just answering the original question.
I have a 2.5 year old system with a quad core Q6600 @ 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM and a 650W PSU running 64 bit Vista Home Premium.
I just purchased a Gigabyte GTX 460 a couple of weeks ago mainly because in RoF my 8500GT was really struggling. Long term, I dunno, but the price of this card in the UK was fairly good, and benchmarks looked good compared to similar cards so I bought it.
With this card I am able to run IL-2 totally maxed out and get between 25-60 FPS depending on the map. Generally I get 25 on a busy map with some sea and with water=4 but even then that isn't too much of a problem. The majority of the time I am in the 55-60 range.
In RoF with settings almost maxed out I get around 40-50 FPS again depending on how busy things get.
I am very happy with the purchase and I have had no problems as yet. I would recommend this card.
