Are the buildings the problem?

[nearmiss]

I'm OK with it COD, even if the landscapes are watered down to IL2 levels for awhile.

I have no doubt believing that rendering all those buildings and trees are part of the problems with over city fps drops.

Yeah, also the mirror created a drag on several other combat flight sims as I recall. Afterall it displays a defined area of the full landscape you have behind you.

Do I have confidence the COD will get fixed? Yes, I do.

Yet, I am not going to upgrade my hardware until there are conclusive docs on resolved issues. I'm sorry, but combinations of components can make a real difference. It's not always about the most expensive and fastest hardware. I learned that lesson very well with the last system I built.

Look at my specs... I used low latency ram, which made a difference. I used a single video card, because there were bottlenecks with SLI. Bottlenecks that weren't exactly explained when the reseller was giving me the sales pitch on a box full of video cards. LOL

When people speak with authority that doesn't always mean they know anything.
