  1. Apologies for going off topic but is there an easy way to revert back to 2.7 without having to do a full blown uninstall/re-install? 2.8.1 with it's terrain shadows fps drain is currently unacceptable.
  2. Been having an absolute blast last few months with stable build 2.7 falling in love with the WWII birds while running at 3240x1920 at stable 60 fps @ 60Hz with mostly all maxed detail settings. I was very disappointed to get updated to 2.8.1 and see a solid and almost consistent 10 fps drop from where I was with absolutely no visual improvement to account for it. Granted I don't have a super high end system, 2.7 ran great. Both 2.7 and 2.8.1 run at the same fps with all terrain shadows turned off in 2.8.1 while 2.7 was set at default. Turning on flat shadows craters my fps in 2.8.1 ED, all of my respects to you and the phenomenal work you do. But please keep unstable and unoptimized implementations in the experimental branch until they have been thoroughly tested and proved fully functional to be promoted to the stable build. These are basic product development practices.
  3. I just received my new MCG Ultimate grip. I have the orange box. And my existing Joystick is the Gunfighter Mk.II. Do I need to flash to the latest firmware that has "_BlackBox_" and "MCG Pro Ultimate" in the firmware file name for it to work?
  4. Yes this always works and brings back the image sharpness. But its a workaround rather than a solution. I'm curious to know what changes latest Windows Feature Release made to break this. Nothing notable appears in Microsoft's Release Notes.
  5. I have the exact same issue as of Windows 10 Feature Update 1909
  6. Ideally I would like to overclock with the Vcore and max frequency only throttling to maximum when there is a load. I'm not a fan of pushing absolute overclock values even when there is no load. I remember back in the day when I overclocked my 3770k I had to use something called "offset" overclocking to achieve that.
  7. I do run XMP but I only see all CPU cores max out at 4.3. Why would this be? Should I not be hitting 4.7 ?
  8. Is there an easy fool proof set of settings for a slight OC that are almost guaranteed to work for me to start with?
  9. Is there a one popular go to guide that typically everyone uses to get started? I found this: EDIT: I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable after watching that video. It seems simple enough. I think maybe if I start small and simple with a 4.8GHz OC at 1.30vcore and run that for a few weeks could be a good way to start.
  10. Its been years since I've overclocked and I'm scared :cry:
  11. It would appear that when I am running smooth at 60fps GPU usage is between 40-50%. But when My fps starts to drop, I notice GPU usage go as high as 80% Is there an easy fool proof way to OC an 8700k? Heck, if I can gain 5FPS from am OC it would be worth my time given that my FPS doesn't drop below 52 FPS. The closer I am to 60 the better.
  12. Hey guys, I'm a bit torn. I'm pretty happy with the performance of DCS on my current rig (in sig below) on which I am running everything at stock speeds however I always have that thought in the back of my mind of how much better could DCS perform if I pushed my 8700k with an overclock beyond what it does out of the box. Currently I'm running 3 IPS monitors in portrait surround at 3240x1920 and I'm at 60fps most of the time with the exceptional dip to about 55 and at worst cases, around 45 fps give or take in extremely populated areas. Only problem with that is since my setup has my monitors smack in front of my face, a dip below 60fps is somewhat noticeable on three 60Hz monitors all acting as one in Nvidia Surround mode. I've also considered ditching the 3 monitor setup and going for a single large monitor as I'm sure that my 1080 Ti is likely losing some performance given that it has to run Nvidia Surround (correct me if I'm wrong here). 1. From your experience, do you guys see any value in putting in the time and effort to overclock my CPU in terms of how much performance gain I may attain in DCS? 2. Would I technically gain performance in moving away from 3 monitor nVidia Surround to a single monitor at the same 3240x1920 resolution?
