Oh thats the new paint on the HMMWV, that makes it blend in perfect at some angles - the bug here must be that its not working in all angles ;)

Ill use a external SSD so update my install at work, and play at home (SSD is 500GB in a cheap UB3 box).

Place your DCS install on usb, take it to work and run updater from the USB. Copy usb back to home PC ;)

Ill would pay for better weather and even for a multithreaded version of DCS ;)

Well am Ill the only one, where the is error unpon error flowwing in that window?

That did happen for me the other day too, hit the ground but did not explode and DCS crashed. Where are those logs? Michael.

S/N: 6459 Color: Graphite Black Location: Undløse, Denmark Lay unpacked sine 6th of april, just unpacked them today !

Well the order is made: I7-8700K, Asus Maximus X Formula, 32GB G.Skill Ribjaws 3200/CL14, and a Samsung M.2 NVme 1TB Evo Pro. The GTX1080Ti will have to stay ;) The board is not in stok so looking at 7-9 days of waiting. Michael.

Sold ! Just need to settle on RAM... G.Skill Ripjaws 3200 CL14 32GB kit (2x16) or will a faster with higher CL be better? something like G.Skill TridentZ 3466 CL16 or 3600 CL17.. Can even go 3866 CL18, but have no idea of what is the better for things like DCS in VR?

Thanks - will try that ;) Michael.

One more that is pushing me over towards a 8700K ;) Well have the 1080ti and the nvme... So just need: CPU, Board, RAM! Looking hard at a new Maximus X Formula - Just need to sell the idea to the wife !

Oh and someone is to blame for me starting to looking into what RAM do Ill need for "my" 8700K ;) If Ill keep up with this wait to March, then Ill can tell the difference between 4790 and 8700 !

Well played some with the PC to day, and hit a kind of 4.9 stable... Kind of since the uncore side only runs at 4.7. Just had the onboard GFX on!!! Turned it of, and is now able to boot into windows @5ghz but get a BSD quickly - can start RealBench if uncore is running at 4.6. This is with a voltage at 1.4 for both Vcore and CPU Cache. No difference up to 1.5V. Max temp is 73¤C after 4 hours of RealBench StressTest, water do get "warm" at +6.2¤C over ambient temperture. So nothing is getting hot.

Silly me: Asus Maximus VII Formula With 4790K on board, and G.Skill FC3-2400 8GB ram sticks (4 of those).

Mine is delided, and temps never go past 50°C What helps there is alot of radiator, have two radiators one 3x120mm and one 3x3x120mm ! So with a water cooled motherboard, GFX, and a delided CPU... Ive should be able to figure out how to get it to run stable. Windows7 and Ill can run stable at 4.8 but windows 10 only allows 4,7 ghz. Anyone with a good idea what to look at?

So if your where to guess the gain by going from 4790K to a 8700K, what would your guess be? Useing same GFX... BTW, Running alot of VMWare too - but do that on my servers ;) And yes one drive for OS and one for apps (in my case a total of 3 SSDs and 1 HDD for data). Mine is a DIY loop if one is looking past my EVGA GFX, wich since my 780 days have been Hydrocoppers. What Ill base my quess on is, the jump from 980x to 4790K and from 3770 to 4790K. Which lead me to say 15~18% better framerate and better process time, so lowest FPS will be the thing you lift the most.

BitMaster - what system did you had before your 8700K?

Would like to get it to run at 5ghz, but Im not very good at overclocking.. The PC can go to BIOS when CPU is running at 5.1 but cant boot into OS. BTW got a tiny tiny bit better lower FPS when going from 1080 to 1080Ti (the 1080 burnt out on me). Anyone handy with solder can get it fee..

But that can be all one need ;)

Well first think of this: What it the core load on your GFX now, when running DCS? Mine 4790/1080Ti is running the 1080Ti at around 60~65% Core load, and no matter what Ill turn on/up for the CPU load wont go higher (65-75%). If Ill overclock my GPU, the load just go down ! If Ill overclock my CPU the Core Load on the GFX is rising. So Ill know that a better CPU would give me better FPS, and since a 8700K should be able to give a Core Load on the 1080Ti to 98~99%, and thats a Core load gain of 35%. So lets say half that in FPS.. Now my FPS are at 45~55, then plus 17% and end up in 52~64. Ill will test this the very same day Ill get a 8700K (maybe this summer)... My system is: 4790K @ 4,8Ghz (up to 5 but not 100% stable), Asus ROG Maimus Formula, 32GB DDR3@2400, EVGA Hydrocopper FTW3 1080Ti, Kingston 512GB M2.2280 NMve. HTC Vive.

Yep just like here in the good old DK :(

Well Ill have a X65F that Ill dont use, can ship anywhere more or less ;)

We just need access to the torrent files, then we can use a better torrent client !

Thinking its calc is a bit off here and there, most downloads are 16~25GB. 16 if your comming from a 1.5.8beta 25 if clean 2.5beta

Stop useing HTTP and use torrent, then you wont get the server full..
