nice, good to see the major gfx card upgrade made such an improvement am just slightly concerned you are qualifying your statement with the "nearly smoothly" it was running and "nearly stutterless"

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 !!

Hey highness, I noticed you had the model detail set to high, try original, its probably the last setting you want move down. You should notice the cockpits and planes are improved with little performance hit

Let us know if its better for you

With the "texture quality" being the most hitting (besides SSAO/Epilepsy/AA), right?

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.
