Ati 4850

I have always found that IL2 benefits more from CPU Power rather than Graphics power assuming that you already have a reasonable card, for example i got a big FPS increase from overclocking my Q6600 from 2.4Ghz to 3.6Ghz, yet when i went from one 8800GTX to 2 running in SLI i saw very little improvement in FPS.

That is very true, especially for the "low" frames... Video cards usually impact "high" frames and give you wrong impression that you got significant improvement, because average will be higher... but who cares about high frames... minimum FPS, that`s what really counts...

Absolutely!

I think what Tree UK said about IL2 benefitting from a decent CPU clock speed holds weight, noticed more decrease in fps downclocking the CPU than doing the same on the GPU.

I also agree it's the minimum fps that really counts, not using fraps at the moment, just the inbuilt counter in ATI TrayTools, so not sure how accurate, where bd never dips under 40. 1900 x 1200 res.
