I'm having trouble understanding how GTX 970 users can maintain 45 fps w/1.7x pixel density when I can barely stay above 45 fps w/a GTX 1070 at 1.5x pixel density. When flying on the VA server with other aircraft or in dense areas, I am getting 22 fps with ASW enabled and 30 fps with ASW disabled.
I understand that CPU and RAM can affect DCS world performance, but I have all of my settings on some of the lowest possible selections (no shadows, no MSAA, etc), and still am having issues. What gives? Is there anything I can investigate? Or is RAM and CPU holding me back from the 45+ range?
Specs: i5 4590 @ 3.3 ghz, 8gb 1600mhz DDR3 RAM, 240 gb SSD, GTX 1070 overclocked.
PC benchmark says all components perform at/above expectations.
