Looking at an R7 265, the 2GB version. I currently have a GTX 460.
Will it help out?

If I were in your position I'd wait until EDGE is released before making any decisions on GPU upgrades, especially if I were upgrading specifically for DCSW.

I have an A8 3850 CPU and that's the fastest proc my HP Pavilion will support. Is that my problem?

I agree with the others about holding off until EDGE is released, but (like WC) my GTX 670 works just fine - even for the Mig-21.

+1. Although reading toms hardware review of the new 980/970 cards has me reaching for the Amazon wishlist... Seems like an awesome bang for the buck.

I would wait until after Extremly Delays Graphics Engine is released and people report back how it runs on their cards
By then we may have another Gen of Graphics cards released

Running DCS in a 3*1080p monitor setup on a GTX680 and works well with most details on. If I where to buy a new GPU today I would give the new GTX 970 a long look, seems to be crazy fast compared with price and watt usage. And overclocked it seems to be even better
