BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Mustang, I installed the driver and began joining servers and starting single player missions, but I did not see a noticeable impact on performance. I am going to revert to 14.9. Thank you for your help!

Would my 6970 benefit from this driver? I am running currently running Catalyst 14.9 edit: just saw it was on the list

I made a few more changes and updated the original post. Moving the scenes from high to medium or low did not make a difference in FPS. Thank you for the help, but even with those settings I peak at 40 fps, but once I get around a few other planes it drops into the 20's and sometimes dipping as low at 15 fps. I think it is time for an upgrade.

Thank you Demon for that suggestion on the TSSAA. Disabling it did help out a bit. It seems to have increased my FPS by about 2-5 frames. Every little bit helps!

I am going to spend some money upgrading my PC, but I do not know exactly where I should spend the money. I have been contemplating getting a new graphics card. Maybe a R9 290X or maybe an FX-9370 CPU. I would like some input from the community about what I should do. The main reason I am doing this is because of DCS only. My system as of now is: OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula AM3+ CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1100t @ 4.0 GHz AM3 GPU: AMD XFX HD6970 w/ 2gb of VRAM RAM: Mushkin 996999 8GB (2 x 4BG) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) 7-8-7-24 Sound Card: ASUS Xonar Essence ST SSD: Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 60gb (contains only OS) HDD: 2 x 1tb Wesern Digital Black in RAID 0 (contains all games and data) PSU: Antec High Current Pro 850 watt I get kind of low FPS in DCS especially in ares that are building heavy or there are a lot things shooting. In regular flight online I can get at the most ~30fps. Add in some tracers a few planes and vehicles and it gets pretty choppy. I could probably lower the setting in DCS but when I did my FPS either didn't improve or got worse. clutter/bushes: 0 trees: 6062 preload: 150000 TSSAA: off cockpit shadows: on fullscreen: on textures: high scenes: high civ traffic: off water: low visib range: medium heat blur: on shadows: high resolution: 1920x1080 aspect ratio: 1.7777777777778 (I always set it to 16:9 but it always reverts to this) monitors: 1 screen cockpit displays: 256 MSAA: 2x HDR: off To gather some information about how my PC was handling DCS I installed HWiNFO and gathered some data to see how well my components were handling DCS. I fired up DCS and joined the 104th server and flew around for a little more than an hour. I displayed the information on my Logitech G19 keyboard display so I could gather information without having to log it or tab out of DCS. My Phenom II x6 1100t was using 2 cores to run DCS (as expected) Core# 5 was under 45-50% load Core# 6 was under 55-75% load Total CPU load was 20% My system was using 7525MB of virtual memory with 8647MB still available 46% load It was using 5453MB of physical memory with 2633MB still available 67% load The Radeon HD6970 was at 75-85% load using 2021MB of dedicated memory, and 121MB of dynamic memory. My SSD containing my OS only was doing next to nothing The 2 Western Digital Blacks in RAID 0 were doing absolutely nothing at all once I got in game. With that information what do you, members of the forum, recommend I do? I am looking to make an upgrade in 1-3 months.
