    I acquired an RTX 3050 a few months back because the reviews said it was a fantastic video card. And my hardware isn't old; it should be able to handle anything, but it didn't. As soon as I installed it, the computer began to malfunction, and it shut down. I contacted the gentlemen at salvagedata.com, and they literally saved my life. They verified all of my computer files directly in front of me, and it came out that the previous owner had destroyed part of my data. And because this data is required for the video card to function properly, they were reporting a variety of problems. Everything is now in perfect functioning order.

     

    I do have a similar issue that the system randomly restarts or get a BSOD , the PSU is brand , it was purchased the same day that I purchased the 3050 , it's a CM 650w Bronze.  But I do think that the system could have also have a memory issue.  Gonna run memtest later.  

    The random restart is only during game play.  So either RAM / GPU / PSU , I did a Furmark test and it ran perfectly well.

    Memtest is next

     Set it to 65 I am seeing fps at 50-64 on the Caucasus map on Multiplayer.    

    The terrain load time is a little too high but I guess that's ok. It was the same even before setting up the autoexec and the pagefile.

     Just wanted to know , does everyone get stutters also when changing views using F2 ? or is it just me ?

  3. @LucShep

     I followed your advice and 60 fps in the autoexec. now in DCS i am seeing only max of 35-40 fps ? is that fine ? 

    Also about the pagefile , realized my C drive is a 120GB SSD and the space left is only 24 GB , do have a 2TB HDD where all the sims are installed. 

    So what I did was set 32GB on the D drive , for now there is not exit of DCS but there is heavy stuttering , especially when using F2 to watch some aircraft

      Purchased the RTX 3050 8GB today ,  It's a Galax make , started DCS and joined Caucasus  aerobatics online (kept everything to MAX , don't understand the SSLR / SSAO and the other SSxx something so not sure what to use )  also no DOF and Motion Blur ,   now when I entered the lobby selected the Mig 21 and clicked on "Fly" Dcs just quit on me , so then I went reloaded and went back to Caucasus aerobatics online and selected the L-39 , managed to get in the pit but after a few seconds DCS quit again , then reloaded DCS and went back to Aerobatics online Nevada , took the Mig21 and no crash , it was super smooth .   I couldn't read the fps as I am using a 32 inch TV hence the text wasn't clear , it's probably somewhere between 60-80 fps but can't say. 

     I use X-plane a lot but since many months had not done any simming because I was tired of the low fps due to the AMD RX 550 2GB GPU. But now XP is giving 50-60 fps maxed out.  

    I could have opted for the 3060 12GB but the price difference is almost 45% higher than it should be. 

    But overall I am happy. I can do some tests later if you want and tell you exactly the performance that I am getting. 

    Maybe once the gpu prices drop to normal I will think of something higher.

    BTW the resolution I am using is 1920 x 1080

  5. Hi @LucShep

     Thanks for the info, have been searching for used Nvidia / Amd cards , but even the used one's have ridiculous pricing,. 

     So thought that it's better to get a brand new card and the 3050 kinda fits right in the budget.

     I was considering the GTX 1650 but the 3050 looks way more attractive.

    Can do with some settings not set.

    Thanks.

     

  6. Hi ,

     Getting back in to DCS after a long time and considering a new GPU - RTX 3050 8GB (this is within my budget ) will also be using it with X-plane,   due to the weird pricing the 3060 is not within reach as 3060 was the one i wanted , but the price on the Nvidia Site (India) and the dealers is a 40% difference , so just wondering anyone here does have a similar GPU and can give me some pointers to the performance that I would get.

     Plan on purchasing this today if I have some feedback from anyone here using this GPU.

    My current rig :

    Ryzen 5 1600x

    16GB DDR4

    RX 550 2GB.

    Regards.

  7. What is strange is that in MMjoySetup the USB name are "MMJOY" in your picture:

     

    https://i.ibb.co/RcK3HfY/Untitled.png

     

    So Windows don't should see as 'MMJ-reset" anymore.

     

    BTW - In MMjoySetup you can't use Arduino pins codes, but the equivalent set in firmware:

     

    https://i.ibb.co/RcK3HfY/Untitled.png

     

    So in MCPU Port instead "A3" select "F4".

     

     

    U r a genius :) thanks, it worked. :thumbup: Have a beer or two :)

     

     

     

    The MH 481 sensor seems stable , the Allegro 3144 keeps jumping.

     

     

     

    Now i just need to figure out how to connect it to the pedals :) all home made.

     

     

     

    Think i will use a ball bearing and stick it and put the sensor in the center so only the outer portion of the bearing will move where the magnets will be connected.

     

     

    M trying to make an anti torque pedals for the helis. Could be good also for the fixed wings.

     

     

    Would love to do a similar thing for the cyclic , for the cyclic i am using an arduino R3 with the MPU 6050 , though for the helis its perfect but it needs to be calibrated all the time.

     

     

    Will do the same for the collective , the collective is using a Mega with a pot though its very stable but i can then use the R3 and the Mega for something else.

  8. The status still "MJ-reset" (blank), hit the button "Save settings to device" and after LED blink do a "hard" reset, unplug and plug USB cable.

     

     

    Hi,

     

     

     

    I have already done "Save settings to device" and did it again but the LED does not blink. It's the same on both the Pro Micros.

     

     

    Also unplugged and plugged it in.

     

     

    This what i see in Devices and Printers

     

     

     

    https://ibb.co/rxPNk1m

     

     

    That Axis just doesn't move, gave VCC / GND / Data to the right pins on the pots and also on the sensor , the Data pin i used on the Micro is A3

  9. You did the flash right, so you see the "MMJ-Reset" that is a blank(empty) joystick controller without axes and buttons.

     

    Now you need use MMJoySetup software and set how many axes will use (pedal is typically 3) and 0 buttons, can set too custom name, custom VID/PID, after hit "save settings for device", and after reboot - see the LED on MMjoySetup changing color, your new controller became visible in Windows Game Controllers and games.

     

    If will use ordinary Hall sensor in analog (voltage variation) mode, select "IntSensor" in source.

     

    Set too what pins in Arduino will use for axes inputs.

     

    See in this video:

     

    AH thanks, i could get the joystick under windows devices , but the sensor does nothing if i use the magnet , the same sensors work on the logitech connector but it's spiking.

     

    Think i burnt the MH 481 sensors on the Pro Micro :cry:

     

    The MH 481 has VCC Data GND

     

    The Allegro 3144 has VCC GND Data

     

    Yes these are not the standard sensors used by many. The MH 481 had worked when i tried it long back but then i had no time and with this lock down thought retrying it.

     

    Gonna tinker some more.

     

     

    Connected a Pot but even with it there is no axis movement and i have setup the axis for it , the same pot works on the mega , i have two pro micros and the result is the same , so hall sensor and even with the pot its not working.

     

     

     

    The LED on the Pro Micro remains GREEN even after rebooting / unplugging it doesn't change. Also tried a toggle switch but even that is not working.

  10. Hi,

     

    I am trying to setup the pedals using hall sensors and a Pro Micro, flashed the Micro with the MMJoy setup and shows up as a MMJ-Reset device , but on double clicking the device in Devices and Printers (joystick) it says its disconnected , The hall sensors that i have are the MH 481 and the Allegro 3144.

     

    Any help appreciated.

  11. There is some MP connection timer in todays update, for me connecting to MP still no luck , guess 16GB don't cut it anymore. Board doesn't support more than 16GB. damn.

     

    Or maybe my 2GB VRAM is now of no use even at low resolution for textures.

  12. It's probably not a memory leak, more just poor memory management. They are two different things. Hopefully it is the latter as memory leaks can be extremely hard to find. The reason behind me saying it's probably not a memory leak is that a vast majority of people are fine and hardly anyone else with very large RAM capacity are having issues. If it was a leak then even people with 128gb would eventually crash. By the way, I'm on 16gb DDR3, i7 4930 and a 1080. I can load into all of the large multiplayer servers just fine.

     

    Apologies if I come across as a dick in this post, it just bugs me when people throw around the term 'memory leak' just because they ram usage is high :)

     

    agree it seems to be a management issue , either vram or ram .
