I’ve geared this setup to let IL-2 push the card as much as possible so all eye candy is handled by IL-2. I’ve turned off or minimised eye candy enhancements like AA / AF in the drivers, however I have set Cat AI to advanced.

My system

Intel E8400 @ 3.0 GHz (333MHz x 6)
4GB Corsair CM3X2G1333C9DHX (7-7-7-20, 1T, 1.5V @ 533Mhz)
Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 rev 01 (BIOS F4)
150GB WD Raptor – OS + Apps + Games
X-Fi Fatality
OCZ 1010Watt – Got plenty of Juice
Dell 21 Wide Screen 16:10 – 1680x1050x32 @ 60Hz DVI
VISTA Ultimate 64Bit – default background services

PowerColor 4870X2
GPU @ Stock Speed 750MHz
Memory @ Stock Speed 900MHz
2GB DDR5

Overclock that puppy to 4.0 and see those score skyrocket... its the CPU clock that's holding your rig back...
