Dustbag1969 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi, Current system:- ROG Z390-H wiith I5 9600K @5.0Ghz 2080Ti 32Gb Memory 1Tb M2 drive The fastest CPU my M/B will take is a 9900K. Could someone tell me approximately what percentage increase I would get in DCS if I upgraded the CPU from 9600K to 9900K Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_sukebe Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 As I understand it, the differences between the 9600 and 9900 are the number of cores and hyperthreading. DCS currently only use 1 and a bit cores. So right now, I can't imagine the 9900 giving any significant benefits for DCS. That will hopefully change in the future with the introduction of Vulkan and other enhancements to the game engine, but we won't know for sure until it gets here.

Mikey74 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) With OC to 5.3 i guess 2-5FPS. keep your 9600k in System, not worth it, if you ask me. I have a 8700k OC @5.0GHz and also thought to upgrade to 9900k, but it aint worth the money i think. As Mr_sukebe said, think about it when it matters of Vulkan in the Future.

Aluminum Donkey Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Dustbag, Hang on to your 9600K. I'm using an i5-6600K that I dug up along with some dinosaur bones. Works just fine, runs at 4.5 GHz without too much trouble. The 9900K with eat a bunch of bread that deserves to be sat on until maybe the 12th gen i5 comes out--or even quite a while after that. Your system looks really well-balanced and I'd just leave it alone, a 9900K is far too much cash to burn just for another 2-3 FPS! DCS 2.7 performs really well and you'll gain just about nothing anyway because all of those extra cores will just be sitting on their thumbs. DCS World is clock-speed dependent and little else. Overclock your i5 and enjoy.
