Welcome to SimV:)

You need to get the 3.1a update from M$http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs3/downloads.asp

Also, always change your settings from CFS3 Config.  I can get 15-30 FPS with Aircraft at 5 , terrain and scenery at 3, effects at 4 and clouds at one, and my setup is nowhere near as good as yours.   With your system you should be able to get better frame rates than that with higher settings.  In the overides turn off the intro movie, dual pass rendering, and terrain and scenery lighting.  In texture info, set Composite Aircraft pool and Composite terrain pool to D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM.
