Hi guys I am setting up my system and I just wanted to check best practice running my SSDs for best gaming performance. All your thoughts are welcome. 2X Samsung Evo 860 SATA SSDs, one for Win10 and one for flight sims. Most recent firmware. Formatted with NTFS file system (OS drive has 3 partitions created by the Win10 installer). Q1) Does the choice of file system matter for an SSD in terms of performance? Q2) Enable drive provisioning, yes or no? Q3) Best Samsung Magician drive mode? Q4) Will using system memory as drive cache effect gaming with 16GB RAM?
-
Does this method work if moving the DCS installation to a new system or must I run the installer again?
-
For 1440p and no VR I would go for a 3070Ti but for VR I am inclined to wait for the 4000 series to come out.
-
Q1) Best GPUs for 1440p? Q2) Best GPUs for VR?
-
Any thoughts on getting an Intel 10 series cpu, I was considering a i5-10600KF? Is more than 6 physical cores even useful for flightsims?
-
My next build will be I7-9700K + 1080Ti + 32GB RAM. Can you suggest a "good" curve for flight simming e.g. 1000R, 1500R or 1800R etc?
-
Q) Can anyone suggest best minimum and maximum screen sizes for a 1440p? I had assumed 27' or 32'. Q) Can anyone share their experiences with different monitor curvatures?
-
By "downscaling" I just mean having a native 4K monitor but running Windows and DCS etc at 1440p. Would image quality be noticeably degraded? I am not planning to run DCS at 4K with my current hardware, I just though it might be a future investment.

Looking for: # 1440p 16:9 monitor. # IPS or VA panel. # 28" or 32". # Freesync or Gsync. # Up to £500 - might purchase more for multi monitor. # Good for night flying - good contrast and deep blacks. Q) I am undecided about a curved screen. Any suggestions of a good curvature for flight simming? Q) Will downscaling from a 4K monitor to 1440p impact image quality? All your thoughts are much appreciated.

Any recommendations for a programmable LED keyboard in fall 2020 - really looking for a budget option? Does not have to be mechanical or any fancy lighting effects. I just want to be able to: 1) Set the colour of all the keys to whatever single colour I want - e.g like the green colour in US cockpits. 2) Even better to program the colour of individual keys.

Some questions re graphics setup for DCS v2.5.6, yes I am aware of graphics setup tutorials but would like some specific answers: Q1) Should I enable "Disable fullscreen optimizations" for DCS.exe? (Right click DCS.exe > Properties > Compatibility) Q2) Are there any ED recommended Nvidia graphics settings as the Nvidia profile does not seem to have been updated in a long while? Q3) Can all graphics optimisations be achieved with NVIDIA Control Panel and not using Nvidia Inspector? Q4) Why is there Run.exe as well as DCS.exe and do I need to associate both of these to an Nvidia profile?
-
Is there an equivalent override to SSAA in Nvidia Inspector?
-
So I enabled AHCI in BIOS did a new Win10 Pro install on my 860 Evo. There were no Win10 AHCI drivers from my motherboards manufacturer. Samsung Magician shows: "ACHI Mode Deactivated". :wallbash: Any ideas?
-
Any recommendations for antivirus and anti malware software that can be easily disabled for simming sessions?

In the same way some people like to see weathered textures in the 3D cockpit some people might appreciate the realism of the compass maintenance... plus it looks cool!
