GPU Bottleneck - but about that CPU

Looking for some advice on my setup (cobbled together used equipment). I'm set on buying a new GPU but what can you tell about the overclocked CPU in these images (if anything)?

The CPU is overclocked to 4.7 GHz and hyperthreading is turned off. Otherwise it is pretty vanilla. RAM is DDR3-1600 (32 GB). The GPU is overclocked to 1500MHz, 2600 MHZ VRAM.

Any advice or insights appreciated.

Thanks!

Even tho you have 4.7 GHz your still held to ransom by the overall throughput for the latest GPU's. DDR3 etc.

Screen Rez 1080P, 1440P, 4K..?

I would recommend 2070 super for 60 fps @ 1440P with max settings. If that's what your looking for? You need to hold 60 for track ir to be smooth if your going to get one...?

Perhaps 60 fps @ 1080P / 1440P? on the RX 5700XT with max settings MSAA x2, SSAA OFF (Check with others tho) Cheaper option....

Your system will limit the 2070 super possibly...? Hopefully it can push it past the 60 fps and hold that max settings MSAA x2, SSAA OFF. Then look at up grading the rest down the road...

DCS 2020 and Beyond PC Build!

This was my upgrade path. I5, 760, 1070, I7 7700K, 1080ti

I just upgraded, but before I had a i7 3770K@4.7, 16 Gb@2133 and a GTX1080, slightly overclocked. With oculus rift in VR, in most cases the CPU was the limiting hardware, at least it did look that way.

Your printscreens witht the task manager lacks some very important information.

DCS cannot use the processor cores equally. It only around two cores that are used, and the heavy work will be done with one core/processor thread only. This will make the overall number look low on the CPU, despite one core being at 100%.

You can open the Resource monitor from the task manager (seen in your print screens) and there you can see the total load on the CPU, as per your print screen but you also can see the load on each core/processor thread. You will find one of these loaded a lot more then the ”total load that you see in ypur print screen.

I’ve used GPU-Z to see the load on the GPU, there you can see what factor is limiting on the GPU( GPU processor RAM load etc).

Here is a print screen for this on my computer, but after upgrading:

I justed test flew my buddies 3800X with a Sapphire 5700XT @ 1080p at high/extreme settings, MSAA2x, no SSAA, trees gras and bushes max, extreme visibility, 16x ASF.

Great, I mean, A LOT OF BANG for a 445€ card. I am amazed, hands down.

Maybe 5% slower than my 1080ti if at all.

In all other tests I lost by 5-10%, some CPU bound things even more. Mine is highly overclocked and his was running default all over but his 3000-CL14 RAM at XMP.

No stutter, ne tearing ( new FreeSync 24 curved he got ), really nice setup for less than Intel and Nvidia for comparable results over all.

I am really really impressed by that platform I built for him, sadly he comes back today and picks it up, waahaaaa.

His 3800X with stock cooler went 4.345MHz with all cores in any test I threw at it, best core went over the advertised 4.5 boost clock with 4540MHz.

With a little tweaking there are some % left to gain. His GPU was constant 100% throughout our test flights btw.
