Anyone with DCS on the new Ryzen CPU yet?

If I had to buy again I would go the AMD way and get me a 1700x or even 1700 and put the saved money in a GPU of the faster kind :P

The more new games I have on this rig the more it shows core count counts more and more.

When my son gets his replacement this year it will be an 8-core AMD and no Intel this time.

I'm running on Ryzen 1700 at 3.875ghz 2927mhz 16gb DDR4.

Old CPU was i5 2500k at 4.8ghz.

DCS World is better but still not able to run Mig 21 with HTC Vive.

Different aircraft require different amounts of CPU... Anything with lots of analog dials is a big drain on performance. EF2000 with its glass cockpit was ultra smooth in VR on my old i5k but mig 21 isn't viable. I'd like to know how it performs an intel 7700k at 5ghz on HTC Vive.

I had an i5-4690 (locked) and moved to the R5 1600x a few months back. It added a fair bit of performance (about 10-15 fps, same settings on the deck). The two CPU's have basically the same clock speed but the 1600x has superior IPC to the Haswell CPU's (and by extension Sandy Bridge). Performance is still lackluster in VR though. Typically I get a locked 45 fps over NTTR with jumps to 90 when at high altitude away from Las Vegas. DCS 1.5 is anywhere from 90 fps to 19 fps in an empty mission. But that's not terribly surprising since those 19 fps areas in VR were 30-ish fps with the i5-4690 and 40-45 fps with the 1600x on a 1080/1440p monitor.

It's a very CPU heavy simulation isn't it. I thought DCS would get a massive boost when I ditched the ancient i5 2500k but no... If I stuck to the glass cockpit aircraft I'd get a very consistent frame rate in VR. IL-2 on my i5k with GTX 1070 on Vive was borderline playable. Since piezen 1700 at 3.87ghz it's a bit smoother but not massively. I have to go easy on graphic settings. I'm gonna record CPU and GPU usage during play for DCS and IL2.

I guess it's early days for these sims in terms of VR and also from experience - steam VR isn't as well optimised as Oculus runtime. I have no plans to return to Octopus at this stage though. I like my laser tracking.

Ef2000????

Ef2000????

Lol. Sorry... M2000. Don't know why I was thinking Eurofighter.

Mirage and Viggen both run perfectly smooth in VR.

Pinnacle Ridge has been ("officially leaked") announced by AMD for February 2018, made in 12nm.

First will be the 7 series, then 5 and 3, along with a new chipset with a 400er naming ( X470 and B450 likely )

Looks very promising.

we only need to get 15% more performance per core to basically nullify the entire Intel lineup up to 10 cores for far far less money (not that they wont still trade blows right now). Its clear by now that Skylake-X and coffee lake offer ZERO IPC improvements. AMD has a clear window of opportunity to just fly-by intel. We'll see.

This !

Problem is intel love to roll out there processors fast. Its nice to see competition. You will see some nice features coming with the Z390 platform and so on. But we are happy with Zen and the remarkable move they made.

Competition is back!

if you guys knew what I knew about AMD's future plans, you'd be happy.

5 jigglyhertz?

you know something you want to tell us? :D

Sounds like he's struggling and really wants to get it out. :pain::D
