Now that we got all teen fighters in, it would great: Mig-31 Mig-29M2 Su-30

oh man, the memes about toilet paper... why toilet paper of all the things??

its going to get worse for intel in the upcoming 10th generation which is a few weeks away at most (some stores already have price lists online). You'll get similar performance but its going to cost even more than 9th gen and since they are trying to cram more cores on the same old manufacturing technology expect extremely high end cooling solutions to be a must.

Yean AMD is the most economic effective CPU as you can get more cores for the money, and with those savings get the biggest GPU you can afford. The only downside to AMD is if your accustomed to tweaking and optimized intel systems for that many years you'll have to re-learn alot of things on the AMD side. make sure you get a qualified memory kit for your motherboard and you should be fine (essential to avoid trouble).

not going to bother with anything below 50% FPS increase over my 1080Ti. It was too expensive to replace it lightly minded and still performs like a champ.

Intel and AMD have swapped roles. LOL

I wonder why the airspace is not closed to civilian traffic during conflicts. Ukraine, Syria now Iran. Extremely sad news, and I am personally appalled.

maybe not, they appear to give this one some attention to quality, lets wait for reviews.

If you go online 16GB is not enough anymore.

what? he was in the front seat? :D

too soon to replace the 8700K.

went to Hans Zimmer concert in Lisbon yesterday. Here's a similar concert on youtube from the 2018 tour. DrZfsdNovYA

The failures of dead 20 series cards have been linked to faulty VRAM modules of a given brand and have nothing to do with cooling. Some non reference cards have never had issues because they were using other VRAM modules. Personally I skipped the 20 series as from the standpoint of performance to gamers they are half a generation upgrade at outrageous prices despite the vaunted ray tracing features. If you are tempted to buy a graphics with your hard earned money get AMD instead, or wait for the 30 series cards. I'm sure NVIDIA will course correct by then or face same trouble from AMD as Intel did.

those backdoors were there much before that.

From a performance standpoint for gaming it makes no difference on your experience. The choice is all about what other use will you give for the machine beyond DCS.

thx for the feedback :)

This generation cards are a bad deal in general. No wonder NVIDIA sales were weaker this year. It's now known that NVIDIA will introduce new architecture 7nm (currently 14) in H1 2020, and judging by what AMD will be releasing NVIDIA better have kickass cards with sane prices by then or they will be in deep trouble.

Well based on community benchmarking and my own: Conclusion: Either CPU should be indistinguishable for DCS as GPU matters more. Just make sure you got 6 core 12 threads or better. Invest the rest on the biggest GPU you can afford and your golden. Also get 32Gb of RAM. More important than CPU choice.

Done.

I found out that the stick was leaning forward slightly due to its hefty weight (900 grams heavy) so I swapped the springs for the heavy ones. Heavy is a relative term because the return to center force is still light but enough to keep the stick in place now.

Hey guys look what I got below. I was wondering if any of you have this combo and what springs & cams did you use? I did get the extra cosmo cams.

I would rather get the RX570 with 8GB VRAM than a used GTX970 with half of VRAM that's for sure.

nonono, dont get the GTX 970, I had one, it doesn't have enough VRAM. The game will run but you will be severely FPS capped. When I switched from that to my 1080Ti I saw 68% improvement in FPS.

if you could snatch a RX5700 that would be way better. DCS like GPU more than CPU at the moment.

I am very happy with my 3900X regardless of the boost clocks. You get more speed from reducing latency by tuning memory anyway. There is too much noise regarding some 50Mhz below spec and there isnt much gain from that IMHO. I laugh at thee 9900K!
