No no, I did not refer to new or used, my POV is independent from this. If you buy something too small for your needs just to save some 20-30% you might end up buying something that doesn't work for the intended purpose. Sometimes you can fix it like selling the "wrong" GPU and get a "right" one but if the CPU is too old, you may end up buying a new CPU that also needs a new mobo, which may force you to buy new RAM as well, ..then it quickly becomes a bad deal to have paid less and get the cheaper option that won't deliver. It's not a new wisdom, I bet we all have made that mistake a few times in our lives with this or that purchase, ending up buying again. It pays to invest in research before you open the wallet.

LMAO

Lol true… Windows icon cache can act up sometimes, I remember many issues on XP, 7 and some in 10, also together with start button and menu. In 11 it seems more stable and reliable

Paying some money for anything that doesn’t fulfill the desired cause is always a loss, sometimes a total loss if you can’t fix it afterwards. Contrary, paying some 25ish% more money but get what you need is the better deal. Regardless of country and currency, this is globally true.

... if you play DCS on Android...LoL

No matter how you turn it, there will be s a steep learning curve ahead of you, for DCS and for the rig itself. What will help you gather knowledge over time is THIS forum, hands down. Read this forum for a few years and you will be a lot more competent than you can imagine. LED.... the modern nightmare. Turn them off and call it a day !

The answer to all questions: "Two Weeks" Highly philosophical

CPU's don't solve a GPU limitation, you can iron out some stutter here and there and enjoy more fluent gameplay, which you only measure in smiles but not fps.

Likely a reverse of airflow could happen, stalling the engine. That's usually the problem with Turbines, airspeed and throttle changes in the mix.

According to multiple statements here in this Forum, YES. If it is worth the expense depends on your budget. You can offset the expense by selling your 5600X

That would be the wrong choice imho, if, then I would go for a 5800X3D instead.

You better create your own thread for this task. This up front: Router + NAS in one OS is a BAD IDEA first off. Break the router and immediately have the jewels too, not good. You could use Proxmox and run them as VM's, one OS for each task, but given that you ask for help, Proxmox is likely above your skills. Keep them as separate devices, best advice I can give you, performance and security wise.

The toll on the CPU and USB bus should not be forgotten when going with very high DPI and high poll rate. Check the CPU, at least in the past that did matter. I run them max at 3000, despite it could go way higher.

My FTTH sits curled up next to my doorstep. I hope they hook me up next few month, it seems they forgot to connect the last 2m to my wall under the stairway..LoL. The poor guy who was tasked to drill it through the wall drove off undone twice as he ain't got the tools to do the ground digging work under my stairs and I am not allowed to do it, so be it I have Gbit on cable 1120/55 Mbit which is ok, just for Cloud backups and stuff the FTTH with 4x the upload is just way better and same price, so I changed. They do the Fiber work for free, so that was a good deal. I just need to rent it two years ( same money as cable/Vodafone ) and I can opt out again or use their fiber for any other ISP that offers FTTH. Can't really complain about cable, a bit unstable last year when they did all the road works but overall..I can work remotely, which I do 95% of my time.

CAT6 will do a great job if you stay with 50m cable length. Oh hell yes, Hubs were a disaster and the first obtainable home office switches weren't that great either with their ARP Cache errors...not good if you play with networks. When I recall the price of my old pair of 3Com-905 ISA card ( those with Coax and RJ45 ) I think a Dual 10Gbit Intel is a real bargain ! But tbh, I prefer DAS over NAS ever since for my own needs, so there is no real need for my personal network to do 10Gbit, just when I need to work and copy large file sets, usually Backups or whole drives a 10Gbit was awesome, but that would mean TWO adapters, also on the Client's PC which, unless a fairly modern server or WS, don't have that. So it's like back in the days...does it pay to put in a 10G card for 20min and copy the stuff over or let it just run on 1G and not open the case and not install the card....usually I had put in the 1G card back then.

I was preparing for the 10Gbit era that is slowly conquering the market with more modest prices. I remember Token Ring on a Coax cable, that was my first LAN setup for EF2000 with MS-DOS...long time ago. I have seen them coming and going, 10Mbit, 100Mbit, now 1Gbit as standard...but slowly we transit to 2.5~10Gbit in the next few years. When I looked at the prices for cables and wall outlets etc... the difference is peanuts. 112MB/sec is just WAY TO SLOW if you juggle large files around, I feel like back in the days waiting for a 80GB drive to copy over a 100Mbit network, now it's 800GB over a 1Gbit networ, same lame duck. With NVMe everywhere it's time for at least 10Gbit networks or even faster imho, at least between Workstations and NAS. My ISP synchronizes with 1120Mbit on cable, so there is 120Mbit I can't use since my current router only has Gbit. Since I ordered Fiber 1Gbit with 4x the current upload I will also get a new Router ( gonna buy it myself ) and that has a 2.5Gbit LAN, YES !

I use cat7 cables and cat6a ports and patchpanels. the diff in price from 5 to 7 is marginal, so I made it 10gbit proof throughout the house. cablelength does matter, see above chart. Better only go 75% of max length or use fiber

This site has this exact driver, I downloaded it and verified them against each other. https://www.driverscloud.com/en/services/GetInformationDriver/57555-10243/saitek-pro-flight-combat-rudder-pedals-7-0-47-1-x64-driversexe You might need to overrule windows installer...you will see

sent you a PM ..and another on with my Gmail here are 2 screenshots from Device Manager and Driver Tab showing Version and date of driver.

They do work with the right driver. i can send it to you once I am back home. send me a pm

You want all those bugs and network disconnects back ? ehhhhh Rather give me the DCS of 2025 today

It might just have been bad luck in the silicon lottery or maybe another batch of the same spec IC that just runs better due to unknown reasons for us mortals. I wouldn't nail it on the RGB premium. You would need a whole batch of each to verify this.

Tbolt-214th, yep, that is me, LoL. I am not so sure about the 2nd in Command, for sure one of the most active Pilots back then. What drove it down was the netcode of Flanker at that time, we had constant disconnects and all that stuff and over time that killed the fun and in the end the Annihilators.After that period I started R/C flying for about 20 years. That taught me lot about "flying" but I don't have the time and patience needed for highly complex R/C aircraft anymore.That was about the time I checked the A-10C/Ka-50 website again which was then called DCS, just that I meanwhile ran a MacbookPro LoL...it worked ! It worked so good I am hooked ever since, despite the little time I have to free my mind and actually fly something. Back in those days I was in my mid 20's and no kids, now I am in my mid 50's and have a 6 and 8 year old one running circles around me. Bet that I am done at 8pm and I wish I had the energy to just grab the stick and go for it, I just don't and instead relax while watching DCS youtube videos, toss some VMware machines around, do some Teamviewer work...and wish I was flying, low and dirty Maybe it's time to get back into Gear, it's all ready to fire up and take off. Maybe a bit rusty in "what's the key for xyz". Helicopter sounds good to me, I love the Ka and Mi

105 !?? Klingt wie ein schlechter Witz, oder ? Selbst wenn die Dinger nur 5-10 Jahre im Lager halten und nur so-und-soviel Stunden Flugzeit haben dürfen und man dafür "erstmal" nur diese Menge bestellt und dann wieder welche nachbestellt wenn ein gewisser Prozentsatz ausgemustert wird, kommen mir 105 ehrlich gesagt zu wenig vor. Zieh mal gleich 10% ab wegen XYZ Gründen, dann bleiben weniger als Einhundert. Wieviel ballern die im Moment von Ost nach West ?? Langt nicht mal 2 Tage ! Erklär mir mal einer die Doktrin in der <100 ausreicht. Bitte eine Doktrin die Luftüberlegenheit voraussetzt.

Daumenregel: RAM = SWAP Ich habe fast alle Kombinationen im Laufe der Jahre durchprobiert und habe es seit einiger zeit auf System Managed stehen...und das System nimmt sich satte 65536 MB Swap, im 2D Modus. Solange Deine SSD genug Platz hat, hau rein ! Wenn's am RAM oder SWAP hängt, hängt alles ! ..und wenn's wirklich voll ausgenutzt wird gibt's nen fetten "Out of Memory" Abbruchfehler. Die Meinungen über 32 oder 64GB RAM gehen tendentiell mehr zu 64GB, gerade bei VR. Wobei ich im "D-Modus locker 48GB verheizen kann und nicht selten im MP schon 54-56GB usage hatte. Möchte nicht wissen wie das mit 32GB stottern würde, egal wieviel swap du hast. Hubraum kannste mittlerweile ja zur Hälfte durch Ladedruck/Turbo wett machen, bei RAM gibt's sowas noch nicht. Wenn der Speicherdruck steigt muss erstmal mehr RAM rein und den SWAP am besten auf System Managed stehen lassen und nach ein paar sessions mal nachschauen was das OS eingestellt hat. Kannste ja erst mal ohne DCS machen und Werte auslesen, dann mal heftig DCS MP auf nem vollen Server für 1-2h, dann schnellt die Nadel aber schnell hoch beim zugewiesenen SWAP, weit über dem "empfohlen" Wert. edit: Wenn möglich sollte die SWAP weder auf dem OS noch DCS Laufwerk liegen. Dafür brauchts aber mindestens 3 SSD, am besten ne NVMe für SWAP denn dort spulst du GB-weise Zeug rauf und runter. Wie unten im Bild, meine SWAP liegt auf der GAMES NVMe. Dort sind nur Spiele die nach aller Voraussicht nie SWAP brauchen werden. Bei VMware komme ich oft an +90% RAM usage ran, da könnte auch der eine oder andere Überschwapper stattfinden, aber nicht so heftig wie bei DCS bei Vollgas MP I my 2 cents
