If I have to, what should I upgrade?

The HDD could be changed to an SSD. That's about all I see. But you didn't say what ver. of DCS you are using?

 

Have you overclocked that CPU?

Make sure your aa method setting for the radeon is multisampling.

 

Vis range medium should give you noticeable improvement.

 

How much memory does your Radeon have? With textures on high you will max out 1GB quickly.

 

What fps are you getting with this setup?

I would get a CPU with stronger single-core performance and a stronger GPU with lots of video memory. SSD will not improve your fps.

I am using dcs version 1.2.7.22412

I have 1024mb

When in the air I get 28fps but when on the ground its goes between 12-18fps.

You should upgrade 1st CPU and then also video card. SSD will only improve game & mission loading time, nothing else.

What CPU is recommended?

[ENO]

 

But if you don't have one of those- an i5 4670k is scrumptious.

I am fairly confident that when I (stressing 'i' here) upgraded from a hd that was not a ssd to ssd, there was a noticeable increase in performance, in game.

can't happen mate, the FPS in game does not change from that upgrade :smilewink:

 

If you want, I challenge you to prove otherwise (with proper benchmarks of running recorder track from DCS, so you show actual numbers) once with conventional HDD, then with SSD, with nothing else changed in the system.

"Do you have any 10mm plasma rifles, in the 40 watt range??" "Look buddy, this is all I got...."

 

sorry, couldn't help with the terminator connection... :megalol:

 

As you note, wouldn't mind the i5 4670K. I'm thinking about building a new gamer. kicking around some ideas.
