A2597 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just upgraded my Ryzen 5 1600 for a Ryzen 5 3600 with new RAM. Before, CPU bottlenecked. Now, my GTX 1080 is a solid 100% usage in DCS. Sadly, not much of a performance gain, a few frames, but nothing major. I can't justify a 1080ti, let alone a 2080ti, things are just too expensive ($1,100?!?). So, guess I'll enjoy what I have and join the ranks hoping that Vulcan brings some impossible gains in performance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano87 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Surely you get better performance in complex missions though? Perhapse not maximum framerate in GPU limited scenarios but complex missions with lots of AI should load up your CPU some more.

It's a shame that nearly every benchmark I see for DCS is a free flight. We need more in heavy combat missions.

Gnadentod Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I use 5700XT Nitro+ which is basically a 1080 Ti with less VRAM with an HP Reverb. 480€, so .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Looking at this pic justifies a hexacore or greater CPU, 32GB and a 1080ti or equivalent or bigger GPU. Core 0 +2 are likely the Dx11 threads Core 9 seems to be sound Core 11 very likely is the main DCS thread. The RAM usage is like that right from the beginning in any free flight mission with the Hornet, on every map. My D drive with DCS is used every few seconds with 2-20% usage ( ~1GB/sec read/write Raid-0 ) My C drive ( currently SWAP ) is used often too, 1-3% usage, 960Evo NVMe Just as an example of what an ordinary free flight looks like, system wise.

A2597 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 I actually have pretty acceptable performance in VR. usually 40s on ground, higher in air at 1.5PD, wish I could up some more features, but I find it acceptable. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnadentod Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 1080 Ti level performance doest not cost you more than 600 bucks anymore, not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
