I had same CPU and still have the same GPU and it's fine for DCS. I would only change RAM to 32Gb if multiplayer is your thing too. 16 is fine for solo, but short for multi.

Same here, so I bought an Aorus AD27QD for 100 Euro more :/ (no real competition from other brands in that class of monitors)

Unfortunately did not test the 2700X fully, not in DCS. I removed the 2700X and placed the 3900X immediately in. The 2700X is already gone as I put it for sale. I should have anticipated the tests but I guessed wrong that the order was only going thru in September. who am I kidding? Sorry my flesh was weak :blush: EDIT: Based on what I found in yesterdays testing and you can see the graph: for all modern CPU's performance scales linearly with GPU power. I did not notice much of an improvement in DCS. My empirical testing says that mechwarrior online did improve alot with the low frame rates while busy battles and under fire as that title is horribly optimized and runs on single core. Did not test star citizen yet. Disclaimer: I did not buy a 3900X for logical or technical reasons, not even for sane reasons (even considering I did get a huge boost in other applications). :D It was mostly for fun. Sadly I will have to quit upgrading parts every year. I have a 16 year old car that I need replace next year and riding that POS was one of the sacrifices I did to fund this hobby.

DCS is not a fast paced title that would require extreme refresh rates. You'll be hard pressed to find a monitor with true 1ms in a IPS panel. My advice: Pixio PX277h

what power supply you have?

If you want everything ASUS Strix related you could try a Strix 5700XT, although I dont know how different it will be from the 2070S for DCS. They both trade blows on other games but there is some variability in results in the reviews.

Sounds like your PC is shutting down devices to save power. Try changing your power plan by disabling power saving freatures like USB or PCI devices.

Heres my imput with same conditions: Look what happens when DackSter94 changed from a 1060 to a 2070 Super on his 3700X (both results shown). Conclusion: You can clearly see that the average FPS scales linearly with GPU (1080Ti is nearly 2X 1060 and 25% faster than 1080), 0.1% FPS may be linked to CPU providing no other bottleneck is introduced (like RAM shortage). If you have a modern CPU, a good GPU is more important. Bear in mind that when VULKAN implementation is complete it may change alot, for example by making DCS use more cores.

Tests with 3900X this weekend. :)

the reviews are all over the place. BIOSes are all over the place. Reporting software are all over the place. Everything is all over the place regarding Ryzen. I wouldn't worry too much until we get better BIOS. Its been a train wreck of a launch as usual.

Thx!! :]

preliminary synthetic testing sees about 14-15% single core performance increase from my older 2700X (OC @ 4.2 Ghz all core) compared to the new 3900X (stock+undervolted @ 1.35V). Multicore gets a MASSIVE 66% improvement. Clocks vary between 3 GHZ and 4.525 Ghz. I also noticed that indeed the 2 chiplets boost differently. One goes up to 4.525 Ghz and the other one stays 4.2-4.3 Ghz.

I did just swap the BIOS prior to CPU swap but forgot to remove AMD drivers and ran into problems on windows boot. Had to boot in safe mode and uninstall. Then it started normally. Now I'm trying to settle Infinity fabric with memory clocks (1800/3600Mhz). Temperatures are SCARY. Idle around 50C, haven't dared running benchmarks yet. CPU boost goes to 4500Mhz single core and 4150Mhz all-core. But once in cinebench I believe this will be lower when using AVX.

going to get my CPU today :) Tests maybe next weekend. EDIT: got it! now testing the old CPU then will install the new one.

that was international airspace and there are rules to be followed. If they are followed then it is nobody's business to criticize.

I got news and I should get my 3900X tuesday to test in the weekend. :) Also, just for FYI some reviewers mentioned the 2 chiplets on the 3900X are from different bins and you better off not overclocking locked all core because your limited to the lowest one. The secret to optimize performance for 3000 series is to get the highest memory speed with the lowest timings at the same time the infinity fabric is synchronized for same clock.

The F-16 will see accelerated retirement phase after 2030. Anyone retaining their planes will see degraded support and flight readiness. That's just 10 years from now, everyone should be with new fighter tender by now.

boys will be boys

My order is not thru yet damn, still out of stock.

dont they wear gloves in flight? that must have been the crew chief.

960 Evo 1 TB here and its enough

news report of the local navy dusting off their old weapons. :D Rare images of SeaSparrow being used both against drones and ships. ioj0Z6Da97w

I just use an AIO. Best of both worlds.

I thought Gigabyte boards are the best ones right now. Your opinions?
