Hey I was really wanting to ask a question about VR but didn’t want to start a new thread for it - I hope you won’t mind me asking here. What VR headset is it you are using? Does DCS only support the Oculus atm? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome frag what a thorough reply! What’s you opinion on a 1080 vs 1080Ti? The Ti just wasted money atm? I should really say thank you to everyone else that’s posted in the thread as well because this has given me a lot to think about!

So is this an argument not to buy more (faster) RAM and just OC my CPU or to buy a new CPU entirely? In which case, I'd be looking at a full rebuild. As an offshoot of my previous question - I'd love to play the game with VR but the screen-door effect with current headsets seems, for lack of a better word, pretty crap. I'm thinking about holding off for a Pimax 4k but getting the game to run at that resolution on any card seems years away. Not sure if there's any point rebuilding until then.

Thanks for the reply BitMaster. I'm starting to think the same thing honestly, but I've got a decent case and already have an SSD so think these are the only components I'm gonna keep. Certainly not going to be cheap! I could prob overclock as I've got a 2500k but I think cthulu's right in saying it's the RAM that is severely limiting my DCS performance. And yeah current prices are a nightmare, I hate how everything's so over-inflated at the moment with the current mining craze.

I'm actually unaware of these techniques. How does renaming the Saved Games folder improve performance? Is there some sort of save bloat or something? EDIT: Forgot to say, thanks for suggesting the upgrades and the settings tweaks by the way!

Please find specs appended to end of post under the spoiler. Hey, so this is the first time I've posted in a while and I realise this forum isn't really to extort tech support from fellow users, but I've read quite a bit of conflicting information and need a bit of help. Since I've updated to 2.5β my performance has hit rock bottom; especially with the Harrier where looking across the mountains in Batumi can reduce my frame rate to 15fps. Since I'm wanting to try out VR soon I think an upgrade is certainly in order. Do you guys have any software utilities that can determine whether it's my CPU or GPU bottlenecking my PC performance? Also, are there any particular graphical settings that cause a significant impact on frame rate, say reflective mirrors for instance? I've also read on here that a good GPU is much more beneficial to a good CPU for running DCS (which I found quite paradoxical considering all the INSANE aerodynamic calculations DCS has to conduct but oh well) - what do you guys think? I was thinking about buying EITHER a Ryzen/i7 or a 1080(Ti). Thanks in advance for any responses.
