Biting the bullet after newest patch- I need to upgrade.

Above link dates from almost two years ago, but they concluded that in most cases overclocking CPU did not achieve noticeable improvements in most games.

Expect that situation is somewhat similar today, but would be interesting to see tests repeated.

Overclocking produces definite improvement in average/min FPS in both IL2:CLOD and RoF - been there, checked it myself (I'm a 2500K user)

The only problem with this test is, that flight sims are not like most games. There is a lot of computing going on.

Can anyone comment on results running a Radeon HD 7750 1 MB card for CloD?

SAPPHIRE Ultimate Radeon HD 7750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

My GTX 460 just expired and I need to replace it.

I don't want to spend very much money at this time, and like this one because it is fanless (and therefore silent) as well as cheap and has low power requirements.

In less then a year I will build a new system and maybe splurge on a GTX 670, but until then I would like a stopgap. Expectations will be only for medium type settings and performance.

7750 is inferiour to your gtx460 by a good margin (http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/614?vs=542) , so dont do it. Save up and get the 7850 which is about £150 (if you shop around) and will get you about x2 460 performance when OCed. Or maybe 560ti - if you can find one significantly cheaper than the 7850. Anything less is not worth it for CLOD imo.
