Have two cards at home, so performed small test of $250 ATI R9270X vs $150 NVidia GTX650TiBoost.
Result shows that code is clearly not optimized for ATI ))
1920x1200
Ka50 free flight:
ATI ~30 - 32 FPS
Nvidia ~38 FPS
Mi8 take off:
ATI ~17 - 20 FPS
Nvidia ~27-28 FPS
DCS World version 1.2.6, videocards drivers are latest (archive names are AMD_13101_78, nvidia_31416)
Hope it can be usefull for those looking for new videocard for DCS (btw, in FSX similar picture, but gap is not that big)
Some screenshots attached.
