All games installed to C:\Games\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 (variant).

All conf.ini's are set to "ProcessAffinityMask=1", I've also tried changing it to =2 with no effect.

[Hunden]

Try ProcessAffinityMask=15

My settings are for a 3 screen setup. I have 2 ATI 5770 cards not crossfired and not using eyefinity

I'll take a long shot and say drivers...
I never upgrade my graphics drivers and only use the accompaning drivers that came with the retail disk. These driver MUST work otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell the GCard.
Upgrading drivers is always risky and I'm sure the software is not done by the original developers (within the same company)

further than that, there might be a problem with temperature and your card is slowing itself down - Is the GPU fan screaming.

[Whacker]

Still fiddling around with this. All of my system temps are fine, I've verified that several times just to be safe.

sounds like ati drivers are fubared. Do a complete clean reinstall of your ati drivers
also check that your ati Ui is not set at adaptive anisotropic filter make it off in a separt profile for ati il2.
