Thanks for the advice, I have thought that my over clock could be a possible reason. I'm updating the bios tonight so will revert it the the stock 4ghz after and go from there.

Yes mate. All sorted and activated. Haven't run dcs yet but wanted to get any other updates done 1st. Looking into how to do the bios update tonight.

Windows 10 installed successfully. Thanks for the link bitmaster! You saved me a £100. Any other tips to get dcs running better?

Ok cool. All I've done so far was download the upgrade tool to a usb drive. I'll upgrade this afternoon then see where I am after that.

Is UEFI choose in the bios when booting from the USB on win 10 installation?

So I've downloaded the Windows 10 tool to a SUB drive... quick question, do you think it'll be better for me to wipe my drive and do a from scratch install or will it be ok to keep my files etc when i run the win10 upgrade?

Sweet. I thought they finished the free upgrades!

I'm going to take a trip down pc world after work and pick Windows 10 so will start from scratch. I know AHCI is enabled. From what I remember, Samsung mag has the latest firmwire for the drives. I'll let you know how things are after win10 is on. Again, thanks for all the help.

Is the system idle process right and is there anything else there? Sorry, I'm not very good at this obviously lol

Ok I'll do that. What do you mean by I should move to 10?

Ok done that. Cpu is generally running at 33%. Anything on the task list that shouldn't be there or not needed?

Bitmaster.... How do I check my VRAM, CPU, RAM and SWAP usage? If there is an indicator that shows where the slow down is then that's what I need to do?! Here's a screen of msi running a test

Do you think the issue is with the ssd? Samsung firmwire is up to date. I'll run a defrag to see if anything comes of it but that ssd was clean and a fresh install of dcs a few months ago.

The picture below was taken after DCS had been playing for 5 mins. This was the huey instant action free flight mission. Unfortunately it took 12 mins 31 secs to load. Anyone notice anything out or that could be causing any issues?

All my temps seem ok to me. Here are some screens of my BIOS and overclock. Can anyone see any issues with it?

I'll have a look and post some pictures when I'm home... however this is a relatively fresh install and I only just installed dcs a few months ago.

Trying to upload a screenshot, but my sequential read is 2550 sequential write is 2074 random read is 30,504 random write is 20,585 that's with RAPID mode enabled on that ssd which holds DCS, not windows 7.

I had my pc built at a local computer shop which has now gone bust. So I can't take it back to check everything was installed properly. I know the basics but not enough to find any fault. I've thought in the past that it wasn't very quick for an ssd. My friends dcs loads quicker off his hdd. Yes, DSR is definitely disabled.

Unfortunately I have 2 ssd's installed in my build. A 128gb samsung evo for Windows and then a 512gb Samsung evo 860 pro just for dcs. Its just the loading times are not far short of 5 mins in 4k. They werent that bad in 1080p so I assumed faster ram would help?

Don't think about buying a 32" 4k, just do it. 4k is spectacular!

I'll post a pic in a min. I would do a video but my internet upload speed is crap.

Right, I think I have it sorted now. It was an issue with Nvidia CP. I had changed the global settings as suggested here and got a marginal improvement. The issue was the for some reason, the Nvidia cp settings on the dcs game tab where way different and I believe that's what was causing the pants performance. I'm now at about 45 fps in high settings in the nttr. Now to upgrade my Ram to reduce the loading times lol Thanks for all your help guys and gals

So I've followed all these settings in Nvidia CP and in dcs and now get around 20-30 fps. Any other ideas on what can be going on because this still doesn't seem right to me?

To be honest, I don't know if dsr is enabled off the top of my head. It certainly would.explain a few things. I'll check once I'm home.

The test I've been running are on the up to date 2.1 on nttr. But I have 1.5 also but I've not run it yet.
