ATI Radeon HD4770 . I know, nVidia are the best in Il-2, hands down. But that card is cheap, has low power consumption and runs relatively cold. And it's a beast - it thrashes the 9600GSO/GT , beats the 9800GT and is nearly on par (~2-3% slower) than the more expensive HD4850. And at least in my country it was cheaper than all of those above, except the 9600GSO.

1280x1024 4xAA Edge Detect (12x effective), 16xHQ AF , Perfect Settings + mods and Il-2 runs smooth, can even use FRAPS and it's playable. Only downside is that I get stuttering when a/c spawn... :?
