Yeah, Falcon BMS runs an old graphics engine, no reason why current-gen gaming cards would have problems with it. I have a 5770 and it runs fine. Then again, I remember Falcon 4 AF would have problems when flying over the FLOT, but I was running an old nVidia 9600 at that time.

Which mission/campaign are we testing on exactly? And what theatre?

Operation Tiger Spirit on the default Korea (Korean Theatre of Operations) theatre gives me a SEAD mission to start with. A taxiway start sees 30FPS on the ground, 40+ FPS in the air, using FRAPS (cannot get the in-game counter to work).

Specs are i5 750 overclocked to 4.1GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM, AMD HD 5770 no overclock, Win7 64-bit. Resolution is native 1920x1080, all in-game graphics options on max, no canopy cues.

54 on ground 59 in air.

Amd Athlon X2 (oc to 3.2Ghz), 2GB ram (oc'd w/ cpu), Geforce 88000 GTS SSC (OC'd to 600Mhz Core 1500Mhz Shaders) Win 7 Ult. Max GFX.

I also disable Aero when Gaming (log out and login into Gaming Profile w/ aero off, that way DirectX Acceleration isn in use.)

Lol, why the +20FPS with lower specs? Surely this is just not because of Aero. Or does the in-game counter work different from FRAPS?

320Bit Memory Interface. The 8800 is still a DX9 Monster.

i only run w/o aero when i play games because it uses alot or ram, and DirectX Acceleration. with Aero off, games just boot and load faster for me.

dips a little on the ground, but once I'm in the air im pegged against my VSync Cap.
