  1. I haven't timed it, but it does take a good bit longer to open DCS now vs what it was before the new launcher. That being said, while NVME will be over 10X faster read/write, you are unlikely to see any significantly noticeable changes in gameplay. EDIT: Also it looks like you are on a Z170 chipset and I'd have to go back and look, but I don't believe Z170 has PCI-e Gen 4, so you would be limited to Gen 3 speeds on the 990. Not a huge issue as it will still be faster than your old drive and in the future you can just take the 990 out and plop it into your new PC when you upgrade.
  2. What are your sustained boost clocks with this setup? I ended up flattening the curve at 975mV (PL 133% and temp limit 88C) with +1500 on memory. Sustained boost of 2750/12000 pulling max of around 300w. I found that if I let the reigns loose completely I can do 3050/12000 (+200/+1500) at 1.1v (no curve) but at that point I'm pulling close to 500w and it turns into a space heater. PS. you can probably bump your memory OC from +498 to 1000. I've yet to see a 4090 that can't do that; most can do 1000+ (cooling dependent at that point).
  3. It has come in handy a couple of times, a good thing to keep in your back pocket.
  4. Welp...been going back and forth with myself about the Crystal Light, now kinda glad I didn't pull the trigger yet. Thankfully G2 still works, hopefully they get their act together or there is a competing headset.
  5. There is no magic-sauce here; there will be a compromise to be made. At the end of the day, the image still has to be rendered and the bigger and better the image is, the more muscle it takes. Our current headsets (even G2) can already bring a 4090 to it's knees. This will be no different; as mentioned above, I would start saving up for that 5090. On the other hand, Pimax Prime thing is interesting....will the headset have to have communication with a server to function now? I ask because in FAQ it mentions if payment is missed, headset doesn't function so there appears to be a need for communication between headset and "home base." I guess my question if the device is bought outright/payed-off, is an active internet connection now required and what if things happen and Pimax isn't able to provide/maintain the service; will the headset continue to function?
  6. My crude understanding of 1% lows is that it is the numerical representation of "smoothness" in gameplay. The 1% low should be as close to your avg framerate as possible. If they are, you'll have a smooth experience, if they begin to deviate drastically, that means your framerate is dipping below average which results in noticible stutters.
  7. Might be a bit of a long shot, but maybe try SDI (snappy driver installer) to go over the whole system for missing updated drivers. Are you by chance overclocking at all, specifically FCLK (infinity fabric)? One of the ways infinity fabric instability manifests is audio glitches due to AMDs error correction.
  8. I think he meant that with Turbo Mode enabled (which disables SMT) he got stutters. Which seems to be consistent with your experience.
  9. There is only one CCD on the 9800X3D, so hopefully it doesn't disable that. But if you tried it and you have adverse effects, it's probably not a good idea to continue using it. It's a new feature that hasn't gotten a ton of "play time" and will likely vary in efficacy on per application basis. It would appear from your testing that it is not a good candidate for DCS, at least in your case. I'll give it a go once i get the chance to install the 9800X3D this weekend. Maybe others can comment with their results.
  10. AveYo is where I ended up building from.
  11. How much of an overclock over stock are you getting? What method of overclock used (PBO+CO2, eclk +PBO, static via multiplier)? Any memory overclock/tuning? Thanks in advance.
  12. You may or may not be able to roll back. If not able to roll back, then you would need to reinstall windows using a pre-24h2 image. After upgrading my PC I ended up reinstalling Windows then realized the Windows images are all 24H2 based. Had to source a 23H2 based image (there are multiple options for this) and reinstall, then registry edit to block updates.
  13. Maybe look at CapFrameX. It captures a multitude of statistics and will build a graph. Though I can't recall if it supports VR or not; its been a minute since I've used it.
  14. I probably followed a similar reddit thread after my fresh OS install turned out to be 24H2 base and while I was able to install the WMR app and OpenXR for WMR it would throw incompatible version error when launched. Had to hunt down an older image based on 23H2 and reinstall that. Blocked all windows updates. Will run it till wheels fall off or I upgrade headsets for something like the Pimax.
  15. 9800X3D, unlike the 99XX variants, only has one CCD....so it does not turn off any other CCDs, at least in this particular case. I don't have my 9800X3D yet, but assuming that the only change was the new cpu and turning on turbo mode, I would start by turning turbo mode off and go from there. It's difficult to make any other useful recommendations with limited information. Was Windows reinstalled after CPU was changed? While both CPUs are "close enough" in architecture, it may be worth considering fresh OS install if turning turbo mode doesn't resolve your issues.
  16. Still showing 22nd. Sounds like you'll get yours before I get mine. Just swapped out my B650E board for an asus Strix X670E-F in preparation (eCLK)... Plus the price was too good to pass up. Also ordered one on NewEgg but that won't be here till probably same time.
  17. Don't know anything about this lad, his system configuration (not just a list of parts) testing methodology, or how it behaves on the current version of DCS, all I know is that... Going from a 7700X to a 7800X3D on a 4090 I saw measurable and noticeable improvment in frame-time consistency and far less dips into reprojection with a G2 reverb. This is at the same graphical settings and DLSS/DLAA. enabled. And according to DCS internal reporting software, still CPU limited. As for 7800X3D and now 9800X3D vs anything Intel in gaming, both ARE objectively faster in any situation where there is not another limiting factor present...If my Honda Accord is racing a F1 car but we're both stuck behind a school bus going 45mph with no ability to pass, my Accord will be just as fast as the F1 car.
  18. Interesting. If it was coming from the GPU and a new GPU exhibits the same symptoms it could be a board/slot issue or possible power delivery (PSU or PSU cable); or honestly any issue including software-related that caused the GPU to crash. Anyway, hopefully your luck changes with new hardware and a fresh install of Windows.
  19. Something to try if you get BSODs, is use Windows Even Viewer or something like NirSoft BlueScreenView to go over the logs generated at the time if the crash. It could potentially help troubleshoot the underlying issues as opposed to having to use the "parts cannon". I know BSODs can be notoriously difficult to track down unless you're knowingly doing something to the PC (overclocking), then you kinda figure out some common crashes and their cause. Windows EV can be a bit chaotic to use, but it's built in. BlueScreenView is a bit more friendly in my past experience, but it's been a minute since I've had to use it, most of my blue screens have been from unstable overclock testing. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-event-viewer-windows-10 https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html Hopefully you won't have the need for either approach with the new system but something to keep in your pocket if the need arises.
  20. That should be Hynix A-die or possibly M-die (less likely) so if you ever get the burning desire, should OC/tune nicely. Unfortunately EXPO timings are kinda bad (very conservative), but with some quick changes you can give it a lot more pep. But I would leave that for when all other stability issues (blue screen) issues have been dealt with. Should be a pretty solid system when done.
  21. Going from Intel to AMD, I would highly recommend a fresh OS install. You can get away with a lot more with W10 and 11 than you could in previous Windows, but a major change in platforms, it's usually best practice to do a fresh install. Just my 2 coppers.
  22. Just something to consider with 6400 memory, not all CPUs will be able to do 6400 (3200 UCLK), especially dual-rank configuration. Many can, but by no means is it guaranteed; only one of my three CPUs can do 6400 and it needs 1.3v on the SOC to do that the other two can boot and game at 6400 but will crash in Y-cruncher pretty quick (unstable). If it were me and I didn't know if my CPU can handle 6400, then I would be a 6000CL30 kit and call it a day. If you so desire, it is VERY likely that the 6000CL30 kit will do 6200 with little effort (SOC 1.2-1.25).
  23. With all the hype right before the launch (I suppose rightfully so), it's not surprising unfortunately. I've seen several folks in overclocking forums buy several (3-5) to bin the best clockers and sell the rest, which should be easy and maybe even at a profit. Problem is going to be, just as with any hot product, normal folks are going to be up against scalper bots sucking up stock almost instantly as it becomes available. Hopefully the craze dies down quickly and AMD is able to keep up supply; then its just a matter of waiting out scalpers in their race to the bottom (MSRP price range).
  24. Grabbed one on Amazon but delivery date showing 22nd.. Hopefully a plaveholder. Everything else out of stock instantly.
