Hey Great thank you. I will keep an eye out for such an update.. I have been testing with Process Lasso and running 8 E Cores in with the 8 P Cores and it seemed ok not sure if it is worse, Same or better but it seems ok. I am flying tonight so I will give it a better long term test with some e cores in the mix.. Altho all the E Cores are spiked @100% but it does not seem to hurt performance in DCS.. will test further..

OK I see I think, so the P-Cores are running 4 and 4 for other tasks is that why I don't see the P-Cores running on all 8. but I thought the Ecores are supposed to handle the other work besides the game like tasks and such. as for your statement about the core ultra not a good idea for gaming then perhaps you say I should have went AMD? I will not be insulted if you tell me the core ultra is crap for gaming hehe!! I was close to getting an AMD and still can go that router if it were better for DCS but I have not seen anybody post much with an AMD and DCS.. Well after much testing it appears Games in Win 11 23H2 are not assigned the proper cores. I am pretty sure ECores should not be used as gaming cores only the P core should have tasked that work. When I run DCS about 4 P Cores are active and about 8 E Cores. I ran PL and assinged all to my 8 e cores and assigned DCS.exe to my P Cores. it works fine and gets low frametimes.. I will test again without PL running and see what happens. but I do not think this is a total DCS Issue with assigning the cores as the other game I play MW5 has a similar issue..

well I noticed as I disabled Process Lasso that a couple P cores were not getting much work. it seemed most of the e cores got the work. and I was under the impression ECores are not good for gaming on?? is that not the case? here is my latest log file if it will help and you can see PL was Off.. dcs.log

Well I seen that. So are you saying I should run DCS on all the cores and not just the P-cores as well??

Well I was running a seperate test and decided to see what my P cores were doing and 2 of them were pegged at 100%. Specs are in my sig and here is my Latest DCS.log.. dcs.log

Yes I think I got it stable with my 5.5ghz OC and 50 on the ecores.. I will enjoy flying. now to aquire a Pimax CL..

Well I just ran Cinebench and got a score of 38663 not too bad. now I need to find a score from a amd 9800x3d to compare..

well here is the most recent Firestrike result which was legendary Woot!! and the link is too my spu scores.. http://www.3dmark.com/cpu/2454265

no it works I had it working at one point.. just thought maybe it was just not working for some other reason..

Well to be honest it seemed a bit better but not sure how to be sure. I did the 1st test I ran and while it seemed the same I did not have an accurate FPS count as I did not have the toolkit working. I did read that from mbucchia but the red text was pointed to developers and mostly the Quest users.. I am unsure but maybe the toolkit does not work any longer. I di use quadviews but I used that program that sorts the order and it fixed it but when I went into game the Frametimes for CPU/GPU were at zero so not sure what happened but maybe it dont work anylonger.. But my initial feeling is the performance seems about the same in DCS. I did notice a difference in Mechwarrior 5 tho.. EDIT: Well I just found out how to properly OC my new stuff and I was just shy of the BEST score for Firestrike with my Gear.. now this new PC is way better then the 12700K. Here is the result: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/32960940

Well to be honest I think a GPU Upgrade would have been better but I think it is fine as is.. on a quick test the Load rate was 68% in Syria. so it did go up a but did not get a chance to fly around but it looks to have been a little bump up and I am hoping it is smoother overall.. I will have to find another Program like Open XR Toolkit that showed the GPU Frametime as to better see what is going on. the ingame Frametime counter just does not seem to work well.. I liked the OXRT one but I just reinstalled it and it was not working?

Yes I cam close to getting a 9800x3d but with the 4K tests I seen it was pretty close. I am hoping it will work well. If it does then I might be able to get the Pimax come spring.. I am also going to run some benchs in 3D Mark but I had an issue with it using my intel GPU for some reason? EDIT: Well I assembled the new PArts and it fired up. I am currently installing the Mobo Drivers and all should be able to test it maybe later tonight gonna go play some MW5 tonight 1st to give it a bit of a test run.. I still need to look into a guide to OC and setup BIOS all good.. so far looking good..

Hey Guys, I am gonna keep it. thnx for looking..

Well I ran some test in DCS with my G2 too see the GPU Load and here are the results so I can compare when |I put in the new parts in the build I bought.. All these tests where in the Apache and the Range training mission in 4 different maps.. I ran the Reverb G2 @100% Native rez. 1. Syria--60+FPS-- GPU Load 64% EDIT the load it was 64% not 85%.. 2. Caucus--60+-- GPU Load 73% 3. Sinai--60+ FPS-- GPU Load 77% 4. Persian Gulf--60+ FPS-- GPU Load 62% now the current system is in my signature and tomorrow I will be getting the following new parts: 1. Intel 265K 2. Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Motherboard 3. 64GB 6400MT RAM. I am hoping the new CPU Pushed the GPU Load up a bit. really not sure but I was looking to get a Pimax Crystall in Spring so I figured upgrade now and get a jump on getting new parets for it.. I may not even need to get a new GPU as I think the 4070Ti will do ok.. just hoping for good results after I put it all toether tomorrow. Also this was a fresh install of Win 11 Pro 23H2.. EDIT: I just fixed my issue with the intel GPU running insted of the 4070Ti and here is the result on 3D Mark: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/32949529

well it depends on the resolution you run. in most all 1080P test the 9800x3d is ahead of all the others. in 1440P it narrows a bit but @4K it is reall close almost a margin of error. but I guess you can jump on the AMD Band wagon but not sure I beleieve the hype especially since I went with Intel and seen some 4K Benchs..

IDK after watching this video nVidia has really stooped down low. rebranding their cards and we pay more and get less.

hey try this program it will help you sort those in the correct order as I think that is the issue here: https://github.com/fredemmott/OpenXR-API-Layers-GUI

well you need to goto the mixer, look in taskbar to the right for the little speaker icon right click it and open mixer in there you should see mixed reality volume levels turn it down or mute it. look carefully there might be 2 mixers there.. But when you launch DCS that sound should shut off maybe figure out why it is not as that it running in the backround is not the norm..

OK then the port scanner I used, were the ports it listed not really used by DCS?? if so thnx for the post there it is an old one

so basically maybe if on a 3xxx series worth the upgrade but if on a 4xxx not so much but bragging rights.. I still sit on the fence. I would like to get better then the current 4070Ti I have maybe I will waint and see what the used 4080S are selling for.. Still a good breakdown with benchs and such with the raw performance..

well usually the reccomend how much PSU you need, does AMD do that?

ok but I ran a port finder and there was alot of extra ports it found and said I also need to forward those as well. I was just wondering. but thnx for thos extra ports I did not know about..

Hey Guys, I was running some tests and was wondering which ports besides 10308 do we need too open for Playing DCS? now I know port 10308 is for who hosts but there has to be other ports required to play on DCS or is it by some magic it just works? Also for the wise guys yes I realize officially they say port 10308 but I think that is not the entire story here?

well it might depend on the mission, do you have a particular mission too try or a canned mission to try, I dont have a AMD CPU..
