good deal for AMD, how does anything PS4 applies to Computers or DCS?

материнская плата асус 1155 с Р67 чипсетом , 2500К без рагона, две планки Мушкина по 8Гб. - работает.

I would pick LGA1151 platform over LGA 2011, Skylake does good in DCS. I think I here some complaints about X99 on here few days ago (or was it last week.. )

1070 sounds like it will be a solid card. launches mid June, how available it will be still to be seen. Then there is upcoming Polaris, still to be seen what can it offer to DCS as well as availability. If you need card right NOW then 980ti is solid performer, and can be had for good price pre-owned. 970 can also be recommended If budget does not alow anything above , there are quite a few of them on eBay now for a very nice price, personally I'm getting realy tempted to pick one of them to upgrade the gtx580 in my non flight PC. Hard to give a good recommendation without knowing your budget or any deadlines for the purchase.

HiJack, no problem. I'm really happy that you removed your previous reply substituting it with the more informative one with the 2 links (;)) . I get the concept "you get what you pay for" and I'm ready to pay, I just want to find out what is it that I'm getting aside of pretty heatsinks and "warm fuzzy feelings". So far when I asked a trained (I would think) sales associate in store that question I couldn't get anything solid either. In K processors the multiplier is unlocked. you can set the CPU at whatever speed you can sustain (thermally under load), motherboard will figure out the proper ratios to your RAM by itself. The cheap D3 Asus i mentioned earlier does it perfectly, so I'm sure other boards do that too. It is possible to overclock non K CPUs too, that's when it starts to be tied to the speed of RAM. Others will be able to explain it much better then me as I never bothered with BCLK.

memory speed difference in DCS was shown to be 3 when stepping up from 2133 to next teir. that extra 10$ i'm ok paying. but as far as boards you (and obviously MB manufacturers) really have me stumped. what is it on those higher boards that make system faster? now obviously we talk overclocking so yes better power circuitry will give better stability , but just how much is enough? during this winter i bought cheaper z-170 p d3 (i have to much ddr3 ram on hand), pretty much as basic as z170 can get. i'm clocking the 6600K at 4.5Ghz on it at the moment. tested over 24 hours with prime to be stable, booted to win at 4.6Ghz and worked for some time as well untill i stepped down. this with auto voltage and auto everything. so the cheap board is solid , past 4.6Ghz we entering the realm of higher volts, coolers more serious then CM Evo V8 (don't know what was i thinking when i got it several years ago) and silicone lottery with the CPU anyways. right now i'm shopping for another 6600K system, this time dedicated DCS machine. and i'm really trying to quantify what is it that my money gets me as far as MBs. mobo 1 vs mobo 2. they both will overclock perfectly well and stable past 4.5 (my target). SLI , fancy heatsinks and other whistles are irelevant for DCS purpose. I'm not trying to pick on you, but you seemed very enthusiastic about higher end hardware so i would honestly love to hear your opinion on what is it that commands over twice the price. that do i get for my extra 160$ (and that is not the most expencive MB either...) that is DCS relative? i just can't wrap my mind around it.

That is a good read, yes. Seen it . I guess it's a good opportunity to again thank the person that compiled it. from that read it can be concluded: 1. No performance gains in DCS from similarly clocked i7 over i5 Skylake (actually for some reason 6600 is above). 2. MB difference not discussed. 3. Impact of memory speeds is of few FPS at best - perhaps not negligible, but not really "huge" in my books. Hence I asked hiJack to clarify his post.

Good stuff, can't wait to see more. It Looks like by the time I get to this stage the way will be very much paved :) Thanks!

Panels look great RK. Personally I fail to see importance of elements that are not implemented in game. Since at the current state of the sim their purpose is solely decoration one can easily choose to omit or include anything non functional across any suite.

The weight of the cooler is transferred to backplate which spreads the load. These are very adequate setups. There are enough reasons for and against water. Mechanical load of heavy cooler is not one of them.

Any chance to see performance comparison between a top notch motherboard and something on the lower side within say 150$ given same CPU? Any chance to hear the actual reason to get the i7 over i5 for DCS purposes? As in how exactly HT and the additional cash mem impacts performance. I'm genuinely interested to hear answer to this as I can't justify purchase of either high end MB nor I can tell a benefit of 6700 over 6600. On the memory side I preffer to not pay premiums for pretty heatsinks

The first gen "i" CPUs were not something to write home about, so I would say updating today is very reasonable. I think you will feel the perf improvementeven without any benchmarks and gain some power efficiency as well. That said those are still relevant CPUs (my tertiary PC was i7 950 untill I sold it month ago) and can get stuff done. Somehow I doubt kaby lake will offer huge performance over the skylake At the end whether you want to wait further though is up to you and your budget.

How credible is this funny accented Youtube expert?

You miscalculating something it seems. I built PVC structure before and I didn't break 3 digit price . I didn't follow any premade plans, IIRC i was under 60$. If budget is a concern then IMO the mistake was paying money to the Roger "sloppy" aviation. Nothing against him selling and he has full right to sell anything he chooses, but It is strange when one decides to purchase handful of sand from sand dealer while standing in middle of a deset...

ACEN Chicago is this weekend. Anyone is going? http://www.acen.org

Sorry, I can't see It. To me this looks like all the gimmicky "as seen on TV " tools. Maybe unlike them this tool will actually work but I already can think of several reasons why it is far far from "perfect".

Thanks Frusheen, may have borrowed that idea from somewhere or I would guess it is quite common track of though :) I'm definitely looking at your solution. On my side I reworked the bottom flap geometry and moving towards putting all the mechanics in. So wanted to clear this topic out before I move to upholstering. Well, I do not expect a plug and play. Is there any way for me to expose the signals to motors from your software so I can build the power part of it myself? In case software is locked to the jetseat itself , can I order the controller board itself (I would guess you will have a contact with gametrix ). Thanks.

Andre, not sure if this was covered before. I'm currently working a flap based g-seat / x-sim tacktile feedback seat simulating g forces. Vibration seems like a good to that and I did look at butckiker. but instead of vibrating the entire platform I was thinking to embed number of shaker motors onto the foam of my seat. Is there a way to interface your software with such DIY shaker solution, contrlled via arduino perhaps? Your thoughts on the matter ? Thanks.

Nothing to do with our community specifically . If kicstarter project does not look realistic and well though out, it will be ignored by pretty much any comunity.

I think you are getting a tad high on yourself there with "can't comprehend". It doesn't take a lot to realize that what VR offers is excellent system for visual component. But as important as it is there is more to simpit building then visual component. As someone who primarily interested in it it looks like you "really can't comprehend" that someone else can be primarily interested in other aspect of it.

can you elaborate on what do you want to offer in a more specific way then "panel" ? because in your example you show a device without enclosure, it is not panel really until it is mounted behind a labeled panel :). how are you setting up your pledge tiers? what exactly will contributor to your campaign get in return to pledging?

Whell, sign me out of the day one purchase list. Figured it will be several month untill availability is all sorted out and good partner cards are in good supply. As nice as 1080 sounds Im really not looking to fight with the crowd for the limited supply of 700$ version card Waited long enough, just ebayed me a used 980ti for 450$ , still plenty of GPU power and reasonably priced.

Skate, It is quite obvious a smaller die will be cheaper then the bigger one for all the reasons you mentioned. The question is how can you make that smaller die do more work then the larger one. And something tells me that it is impossible (given same mm manufacturing process) to have more stream units on lesser surface

With all the talk about upgrades justification, I would think 1080 will be a good upgrade for 580 that for some reason refuses to drive more then 2 screens : ) I'm really itching for a card right now and those 980TIs for ~550$ do look tempting, but 3 more weeks I think I will survive. I am very interested to see what the extra 100 buys with the "founder's" edition. I'm very much hyped .

I already see a 540$ TI on newegg. not my preffered make/model but still.
