Hi beercamel,
Regarding the Nvidia 400 series,
I bought a GTX460 3 months ago, and I spent an agonising 2 months trying to get a decent fps instead of a slide show. I went through all the forums, tested a lot of settings before hitting the real culprit: RAM
I originally had 4 GB of RAM on a Win 7 /64 bits and I thought it was enough: but when I upgraded to 8 GB RAM, all my troubles disappeared, and I can now run IL2 UP 2.01 on full settings. Running real smooth, with just the occasional micro-freeze from time to time.
I don't know if it is only the GTX 460 or the duet Win 7-64 / GTX 460, but sure they need their RAM. Consider it when choosing, adding ram will also add to the cost.
Cheers
