Upgraded my graphics card

[Tomcat388th]

Was able to get a msi armour rx570 8gb off of ebay last week. Seller had used it some for mining and it was giving him troubles.  I had trouble getting it to load windows but it finally did. Ran the Kombuster stress test and it shot right up to 90c I pulled it and replaced all the them pads and paste reinstalled it same thing. Even with the fans at max rpm it would not cool. Pulled it apart again and seen I needed to add more paste. this time it started to cool down/control the temp but it was still getting a corrupted screen and dropping out. Decided to reflash the bios and ran another program that verifies the bios signature or something like that. Now it was stable in windows and falcon bms but dsc would lock up and look like static on a tv. Seen a youtube vid on amd drivers and one kid said to select standard when you do a install. Unistalled the drivers with DDU reinstalled and select standard and everything is work as it should now. Big difference in fps and image upgrading form a rx550 4 gb.  Running in the mid 70's fps  2.7 stable with everything on high except for mssa off and the last 2 options on the lower left corner off cant remember what they are. 1080p  old dell t3600 xeon 1650 3.2g/32g ram /ssd drives and using a LG 43inch 4k flatscreen tv. This is  with single player missions  

Everyone take care

Well sounds like it took some effort to get working. Glad you got some better hardware that improved your simming experience. I am looking forward to my next big upgrade.
