Raven King Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My appologies if I failed to ask on the right place, but this is a rather odd question. :D I have two computers: Got an old Alienware Aurora R4, (core i7, 16GB, 1 Tera, GTX 1080, GTX 780) long ago, bought an Occulus Rift, and since it works with any program except DCS, I save a couple pennies and got a Helios Predator 500, (i7, 36GB 1 tera, GTX 1070). So, I'm waiting for the new DCS Online Server Software to come out, and in the meantime I'm designing missions for a possible future server. I have to compromise every time I play a mission and reduce the quality to avoid the VR, acting up. The question is: given that a complex mission is a bit too heavy for either computer, if I use them in network with one as server and the other as client, do I get better results, since they would be sharing the workload? I know the question sounds dumb, but a "yes" is not necessary self evident for somebody who knows so little. Wise is who in doubt asks, though. Thanks in advance. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 ... The question is: given that a complex mission is a bit too heavy for either computer, if I use them in network with one as server and the other as client, do I get better results, since they would be sharing the workload? I've two PCs at home, the weakest run as a DCS dedicated server and the fastest is where I usually play DCS with. I've not noticed a better performance of DCS when running a Mission hosted on the server, versus running in single player, so the answer to your question would be no. Sorry.
