I'm sorry you are getting such bad advice. The 5600X is a good CPU for gaming. When Gamer's Nexus tested it, it performed really well even at stock. Thing is to get the measurable differences in framerate for all his graphs he had to use benchmark software under specific test situations like 1080p medium. An even then it was different for different games. Under normal gaming conditions with higher graphic settings especially at 1440p or 4K there isn't going to be a difference. Especially one that is noticable to the human eye. People who are telling you differently have some kind of bias that isn't backed up by data. Which is unfortunately very common with this issue. Less so on this forum but it's really bad on a lot of PC build forums. On games like CounterStrike and Rainbow 6 there might be a higher framerate delta but whether your eye will actually perceive any difference is debateable even if you had a 240Hz or 360Hz monitor. People really need to stop making asinine power usage comparisons if they don't know what they are talking about. To get my CPU above 200W you have to stress test it in Prime95 small FFTs with AVX on. Right now my entire computer is drawing 72W while running Windows and having a few browser tabs open. When playing DCS, per MSI Afterburner my CPU draws a whopping 67.2W. DCS only uses 3 cores. There will not be any significant difference in power draw while gaming between CPUs of Intel or AMD. TDP has absolutely nothing to do with claimed power consumption or total potential power draw of a CPU. It means thermal design power and is a metric for cooler manufacturers to design their coolers for typical use cases not a metric of how much power it is using. All the anecdotal evidence I've seen from qualified people seems consistent. AMD CPUs are sold with very little headroom for overclocking so it's not really worth breaking the warranty unless your prepared to buy a new chip. They do respond well to memory tuning and tightening up timings to lower latencies. Thing is, if you have to buy expensive specialized B-die memory to get the full potential out of the chip, that's no different than having to pay for cooling to overclock Intel chips. My general advice between a 5600X or a 10600K/11600K is get whatever is on sale. The only real difference you will actually perceive with your senses will be the price.

Finally someone has done a real benchmark! Thank you! This should be the standard from now on. I would have posted basic Excel graphs. Just one fine point. You definitely didn't win the SL with your 7700K. That's why I buy from Silicon Lottery, it's worth the premium. Speculating but if you could keep 5.0+ stable I don't think you would have seen the delta on your 2D data. The 7700Ks were actually really good overclockers, but you needed to delid and change out the stock thermal compound. Mine hit 5.1 all core easily. Single was at 5.3 Ghz. DCS will run just fine on 3 Skylake cores. I've tested it myself my restricting cores in BIOS. No difference in frame rate between 3 and 4+ cores. https://siliconlottery.com/pages/statistics Now, if you can just buy a stock AMD CPU and it's IPC and clock speed are good enough. That speaks volumes. Most PC gamers don't overclock or delid. How did you tune your AMD CPU, memory overclocking? Either way great benchmark. Please post more data if you have it. From the data I've seen the 5900X seems to be binned with the best single core performance which matters most for games and sims. I'm only seeing it scalped currently. Oh yeah, my chip hits about 620 on the single thread score in Cinebench when properly OC'd. I was hoping Rocket Lake would be a significant jump to upgrade but alas, the data on 11900Ks is not very good. A binned and overclocked 10900K is probably the fastest for gaming right now per Gamer's Nexus benchmarks.

If you guys are in the US you can get on EVGA waiting list. It's probably really long now, but that's how I got my 3090 at retail. Had to sell it though, needed the money and the offers I was getting on it were too nice to pass up. Wish I still had it though. Need to update my sig. Retailers aren't scalping if the distributors they get them from are charging inflated prices as well. This probably isn't going to ease until TSMC and Samsung get more fabs online. Intel, Samsung, and TSMC are both dropping 10's of billions on new fabs but they can't throw those up overnight. Semiconducter/Processor fabs are probably one of the most complex and expensive things that humans are capable of right now. It sucks but either Ethereum needs to come down in price or more cards need to be made, no way around it.

People don't mine Bitcoin with GPUs. They are mined with ASICs. GPU's are used to mine Ethereum.

My local Microcenter has 5600X and 5800X in stock. From the benchmarks I've seen the 5900x seems to be binned a little better but not enough to pay a scalper.

Concur, all the data coming from Rocket Lake benchmarks is very disappointing. 9700K at 5.1 is perfect for DCS. I run my 9900K with hyperthreading off which makes it a 9700K with a little more cache. We're stuck waiting till Alder Lake and DDR5.

I can get you a 3% discount on EVGA graphics cards. EVGA cards have a 3 year transferrable warranty which means they hold their value really well on the secondary market. I got my 3090 at MSRP after waiting in their queue system for 5 weeks. I passed on several queue notifications for other SKUs because I wanted the Kingpin model. Wait for 3080's is longer though. On US Ebay scalping market isn't that bad right now. Cards are going for maybe $100 - $200 over MSRP. I still wouldn't pay that much just on principle to discourage the market, but people are buying them.

Hey Koe, Builds look good. If you were gaming only I would suggest the 10600K ($199.99 over here). But Solidworks and related programs scale with threads and cores. DCS and the overwhelming majority of games do not. Instead of 64GB of RAM consider a 32 GB kit binned at a higher frequency and lower CAS latency. You'll see actual performance benefit out of that. If DCS is using all 32GB something is wrong that will be patched out. I realize the new AMD chips are all the rage right now. I just picked one up myself. So far there is no evidence of any significant performance benefit over Intel. But the upgrade path on the AM4 socket is kind of in a grey area right now. With the Z490 LGA 1200 you know it supports Rocket Lake which has an IPC boost over today's Skylake uarch according to Intel. Hope that helps...

For DCS the single core performance of your CPU will limit numbers of AI, visib range, and shadows for example. VRAM is mainly for textures and antialiasing. It's not going to be a noticeable limiting factor for most people. Now if you are playing in VR, VRAM will be more important (why I bought a graphics card with 24GB of VRAM with a wide bus and bandwidth) but you'll still be more likely to notice a single core botteneck and stuttering from a bad CPU choice.

My PC: i7-4770k GTX 1060 6Gb SSD 500 GB 16 RAM No offense brother, you need to look up a very important concept called Moore's law. Your CPU is almost 8 years old and your CPU is a mid range card from almost 5 years ago. That's a long time in computer time. DCS devs shouldn't be obligated to "optimize" for people who don't upgrade their computers. Just to keep things in perspective, A new XBOX or Playstation 5 has more graphics processing power than your rig. I'm not sure how much a Vulkan based graphics engine is going to help you. The readme file has really good tuning guide. Try turning down visib range and shadows. The "medium" preset would probably work well. For DCS you want the fastest single core performance you can get your hands on and afford. For Intel that's 7700K or bettter and for AMD you want one of the new ones a 5600x or better. Graphics card I'd recommend a 3060 Ti or better

I just bought the Syria Map. I haven't had a chance to to check out how much RAM it uses. Is it's current RAM usage going to be the status quo from now on or will it be optimized to use less than 32 GB of RAM? As for 64 or 128, I would argue that more than 32 GB is nice to have but consider the cost of a high binned 32 GB kit with a 4000MHz+ XMP profile and a low CAS latency like 14. You have to have the right pairing of RAM and motherboard but if you get get those high frequency XMP profiles running stable that will increase performance. Diminishing returns applies of course, but if you already have the CPU and GPU with adequate cooling, RAM is where I'd look to next to squeeze out more performance.

Thinder, People don't buy Kingpins for their performance per dollar ratio. It's a competitive overclocking card. If you just want to game you should get the 3090 FTW Ultra Hybrid. If performance per dollar is a priority a builder should get a 3060 Ti or 3070 for Nvidia and I believe the 6700x for AMD, although I'm not as familiar with their product stack. I even saw a few benchmarks where a 6900X beat a 3090 in a few games. I don't think it would beat this card if properly tuned, but given MSRP (if you can find it) is $999 that's a good buy. I always told people $1000 was the proper price point for high end cards like the 2080 Ti. That number is a big psychological threshold for many as well. I could have bought 4 Playstation 5s for the cost of this, so no definitely not the best performance/dollar. It does do well in performance/watt but people who are overclocking hard don't care about power draw usually. Sn8ke_iis

Yeah, I'm not aware of any 3090 that only has 1 cooling fan, that would be a serious design mistake. This card is actually going under a waterblock as soon as one is available. Then I can really see what she can do.

I'm ready to order as well. I'm OK with slow shipping.

EVGA has a queue system. I was on the waiting list for a little over a month. I passed over a 3090 FTW and a couple other SKUs waiting for a Kingpin. For the 3080 models I think the wait is longer though. I can also get you a 3% discount. Every little bit helps. There's actually a nice little community that's developed on the EVGA forums around the queue system. People are tracking notifications sent out, cards bought, etc. I was able to to get advanced notice when I was coming up in the queue so I didn't miss the email. I think Nvidia and AMD are both kicking themselves they didn't build more fabrication plants. I read somewhere that Nvidia is selling 3000 series at twice the rate of the 2000 series. To be fair, I follow the space fairly closely and I didn't see the demand until just a couple months before they were released. That's when I saw on all the various PC build forums how excited people were to upgrade after the 2000 series. By the time Nvidia, AMD, and TSMC can actually meet demand the new 4000 cards will be out. Comparisons between different models are helpful but where can I get an RX 6800 for $580? I'll order one tonight.

My 3090 is getting here today! Yeah me! I have data from some 2080 Ti benchmarks I kept. Just curious as to what data people are most interested in. I don't have a G2 yet but at least there's not wait for them now, so I might be able to get one within a month or so. The girlfriend doesn't know we're eating Ramen till my next paycheck I usually collect stats with MSI Afterburner about FPS, 1% lows, etc Memory allocation vs usage on different maps? There was a new 3060 with 12 GB or VRAM recently announced. Should be a good gaming card. I'll be sure and check out this resizable bar thing when the driver is released.

Concur on the CPU upgrade. If your MB can handle it, a 5600x would be a much better pairing with that GPU. If you want to push your GPU to 100%, try playing around with your new card. Nvidia cards have lots of custom AA options like MFAA that can improve image quality. Also, Nvidia calls it Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) or something like that but it's just supersampling. When I play old games that aren't using the full capabilities of the GPU I crank up the resolution past 4K until the GPU hits 99% and stays a constant temp. Downsampling a frame rendered at a higher resolution gives really good image quality but is the most expensive anti-aliasing technique. I'm sure AMD has some kind of equivalent.

I like NVMe M.2 because of the form factor. They make a clean build without all the SATA cables to have to manage. They do put out heat though. I also reboot a lot for troubleshooting and adjusting settings. Anytime I save booting, the better. In the States, prices have come down a lot from when I first bought one. They are more expensive than SATA SSDs but not by much. I have my OS on a separate 512GB and Games/Sims on the 1TB. Makes it very convenient for reinstalling Windows. MSFS 2020 @ 1:45 These focus on rebooting and loading times. Difficult to measure any FPS increase, although I'm sure it helps from time to time. Advantage of fast NVMe would be in something like video editing if you are transferring large files between two of them.
