for a 500$ card with 2gb vram, i'd expect/hope it would run smooooooth and flawless in all circumstances (over city, with large plane formations and close formation flying, flying through hangars, and with dust/smoke)

we need that gfx patch !!

This would be reality if the game was optimized and working properly but it isn't so don't expect it to run smoothly in "all circumstances". If a code has enough flaws in it not even brute force will overcome some things, like smoke and particle effects in this case. If the patch delivers up to 100% performance increase in average and minimum FPS then the 680 will kick some serious b*tt, so will also many lower tier graphic cards.
