Exactly, but it's not clear,,, of how much cores DCS need in total. Maximum utilization and operating operation is not the same. The rate of sampling of a monitoring software can be an issue. Even DCS can't tell in their "Recommended system requirement". Multithreads don't means that you necessarily need more cores, as long as you feed the video card. It's coming :thumbup:

i7 worth it for DCS? No.

You really think the "others things in the background" use more than a heavy game like DCS? As told many time ago, Hyper-threading tech is not use by DCS an many of the games and applications. Physical core is a way better.

More core is a wise choice. By SkateZilla: "The Base DCS World Code is Serialized Coding, But ED have Stated recently, that when parts of the Base Code are Re-Written, they try to Code it for Parallel Threads. So it may not be DCS Core + XAudio Threads anymore" https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3472314&postcount=9

A new pc? With a new power supply?

Tweaking at the limit is not very paying in terms of performance gain, it's a passion, a hobby. And with this knowledge you can get the max value of any of your rig. Notably with manual settings. Many peoples use those auto setting software who set more voltage than what he need. The CPU heat up and discourage you of the work required.

What? The girl left?

This one has a better CPU (8600K), excellent SSD (Samsung 250GB), but the 1070 (recommended system) is more suitable for DCS. The power supply is like... A 4 cylinder in a big truck. He will heat up and the lack of available power can damage the components. Notably the video card.

By the formula page 12: https://www.samsung.com/us/business/oem-solutions/pdfs/SSD-Sales-Presentation.pdf Smaller capacity SSD has smaller (TBW) total amount of data that can be write before it fail. Cheap SSD with cheap controller has bigger WAF (Bytes written to NAND/Bytes written from Host). Page 10: Cheap SSD has cheap NAND types (low P/E cycles). TLC for Kingston, MLC for Samsung. Page 8:

Power supply Corsair TX Series are very good.

The power supply is a very low quality unit. Expect to purchase a good one in 2 years or less. Windows and stuff are less than 100GB. DCS is around 100GB. You need another SSD.

By the formula: TBW= Capacity(GB) X NAND P/E cycles / WAF As is known that there is an OP zone (Over-provisioning) in a SSD drive, it takes about 7% of the capacity, so the real capacity you could use is about 93%.

The Aerocool psu is a Tier 4 - Not Recommend for stressful situations. May not be able to put out full rated power above room temperature, and may slightly fail to meet ATX specs. Low cost Chinese sourced components used in the build. The 130GB SSD is too small for Windows and DCS. Any SSD below 240-250GB are not recommended for performance, durability and reliability.

I'm not sure how much cores DCS is using. They gradually update/reprogram the software for using separate threads. How far can they go? How many cores do we need (today) to run DCS properly? But we can read by many friends, when they monitor the game that it need more cores that what a single-thread program normally use. And threads can rapidly jump from one core to another, so it can falsify the reading of a low rate monitoring software. Don't forget, it's still a single thread program base. So, overclocking the CPU is still profitable. The software is always under developement, stay tune. More cores and high speed are better than Hyper-Threading Tech, high speed is as good as more cores. A 6 cores (min) high speed CPU is suitable for today's shopping.

Good to read, but it has his limitations. Ex: The bullet and his trajectory, the moment of impact with another object has to be synchronized. Can't do that with 2 threads on 2 different cores. The 6 cores will be obsolete :lol:

DCS 2.5 consomme beaucoup de mémoire RAM, surtout qu'il y a beaucoup d'objets dans la mission. Tu as besoin de plus de RAM.
