    Wow what a difference. simple to do and transformed my game. My default fps check track is sileverstone and normally with mid to high settings and 10 visible cars at the start I would get choppy fps from 15 to 25 at best . this is what Im getting now. amazed. 66 FPS at start and then averaging between 110/150 for the race

    Increased ram 2 x8gb(16gb) AMD sapphire R9 280 3gb oc. coolmaster G700 =$505 Aus total.

    time for a new monitor. Back to saving up

    btw can run reflections on high but dropped to 50fps at start so bearable but wanted to max out my 60hz screen

    I'LL prob get told off again for saying it but if you want to play the top SIMS or GAMES of the 21st century you must keep up with PC specs to get the best results. I don't mean yr in yr out.

    I agree, now that Ive seen for myself the difference it makes to have higher end gear. will test a couple of extra monitors I have laying around(60hz) to see if this machine can handle or whether to go a 144hz single , Being 3gb the card may not but if I can get 60fps with some minor setting changes I may . In the meantime Im loving what I have now.
