That is a fair point Chivas, and you're probably right, but Sow Bob will have textures with four times the resolution of Il2 textures, aircraft will have 5 times the polygon count and there will be other things such as shadows in the cockpit which will be renedered in real time, based on the position of the sun etc. These tasks will be Gpu intensive, and there is no way that the likes of a 7900GTX will handle that, you should definately see the extra power of the GTX260 with Sow Bob. Like I said in my last post, it will be important to have a good CPU also. The CPU will have to handle things such as the flight model (I assume), radar, AI etc.
