It has nothing to do with the SP MP gaming. It's the map/mission involved.

As Bit said. Overclock the CPU higher as you can should be your first move. What is your resolution? 4790K turbo boost spec: 4790k with 4 cores fully active= 4.2Ghz 4790k with 3 cores fully active= 3 cores @ 4.3Ghz, 1 core @ 4.0 Ghz 4790k with 2 cores fully active= 2 cores @ 4.4Ghz, 2 cores @ 4.0Ghz

Me too, because it's a used.

"9 times as powerful as before"! Is that mean 9 times the fps? :D It's always better on paper. :cry:

Give us more info about your pc. :smilewink:

Yes, but it's a $500 chip. Some pilots are afraid of only overclock him.

No, need a "K" CPU.

And what is the MoBo? The CPU cooler?

Noctua are excellent. But, i think Thermalright are the best. Some of them have a TDP of 320w. Prolimatech are also excellent. http://thermalright.com/product-category/products/heatsink/ http://www.prolimatech.com/en/products/index.asp?itemid=42

6 cores is the minimum for today's gaming.

What is your MoBo?

Dramatic problem needs dramatic solution. Clean and reinstall completely DCS on the SSD?

You don't need more than 16GB to play DCS now. Spare your money for your next platform CPU/MoBo/DDR4 ... :smilewink: You need a beast who run at 5Ghz to fully feed the 1080Ti. Not more RAM...

Thank you :smartass:

Good luck to the OT.

The reputation points can be positive or negative. The reputation power is the total of them.

You'll need to practice :weight_lift: Welcome in the club.

Another one, Skylake and Coffee Lake are not socket compatible. :tomato:

The GTX970 has the same "GPU power" than a GTX1060. The GTX1070 is one step higher. The GTX1070Ti is another step.

Lights give me headache. :blink:

But we want to know. I would like to buy only 8GB of RAM if DCS run good with... We know that some maps/missions use 12+GB of RAM reported by many pilots. 8GB

Overclock the CPU higher as you can should be your first move.

Overclock the 2600K higher as you can should be your first move. And i agree with BitMaster.

At 2.71Ghz, anything overclock at 4+Ghz will give you great results. The target is 4.4-5Ghz. Remember, the CPU manage the AI, all commands in your cockpit, the bullets/missiles/bombs trajectory, the damages/collisions, wind/airflow environment, and of course, half a core for the sound.
