Just tested this card on my spare test rig in the office with a cheap old mobo and old core duo.
Completely stock its my old clunker rig bullet proof with an Enermax EMG700AWT 700W PSU

Had a Nvidia 9800GTX+ was pulling 20-30 fps over water on low settings on Dx9 tweak.

GAINWARD GeForce GTX 560 Ti Phantom - 2 GB GDDR5 - PCI-Express 2.0

Its 2/3rd's the size of the old 9800 so it don't hit up against the hard drive caddies.

From Amazon £220.00 inc P&P. Has gone up to £295.00 since last night ??

Performance from this looks great although its early days testing.

Vsync on @60hz @ 50-60 fps over water on medium settings attacking bombers and smooth flying gunnery accuracy improved 60%, still to test land yet will do it tonight when I get time.
Busy doing customer builds at the moment

Later that day
( gave myself the afternoon off )

OK
I ran the training mission "Take off" looks like a loss of 10-15 fps on the ground,
the initial loading when spawning in takes a few seconds to settle,
but seeing all the grass waving around and the vehicles moving along gave some immersion,
especially the buildings and shadows...blah blah blah... basically the graphic upgrade was worth it on a low end PC.

Interesting, thanks. How did you force vsync? I can't get it to work with my GTX285 and latest beta drivers.

And be careful,I think you just lost an activation!

No activation loss here, my office is at my house

Just changing a graphic card can use up an activation!

Nice card though compact too.
