Well run DCS and most likely if you are on Win11 it is running on the Ecores. I would imagine it would work but as you see the ECores are not made for this kind of work. while it may work but it will be limited and probally when a Demanding scene pops in they will choke.. have a look at my thread here and see what I found out about win 10 and win 11 and how DCS uses the Ecores.. I would suggest installing Process Lasso and put all the other Processes on your ECores manually and put DCS and your other games on the PCores.. it is really easy and effective:

two things here, I see some say the VRam is not enough what are you guys doing to use more then 16/24gb vram?? I only have 12gb and use about 8/9GB? Also some say they are cpu bound even tho they have a hefty CPU, Maybe some ED Guys can chime on this one but I could of swore somebody said that just because it states CPU bound that is not really the case depending on what else is going on.. I mean if the DCS Frame counter says CPU Bound and you are getting 100FPS or more I dont think this is the case. I did notice with it it turns different colors the CPU Bound and I thought if it was RED when saying CPU Bound then you probally are if it is just the normal color.

I am with you on this one. the way they explained it yes you magically see the number FPS is higher but in reality it still looks like less.. I am not sold on the fake frames thing either it fact it is really bad..

here these are the same ecores with Process LAsso in effect in DCS. Plus I moved almost all other Processes to the Ecores and they are not nearly getting used nearly as much as it was in the above Pic..

Well I have been hearing alot how Process Lasso is not needed with Win 11 anymore and I believe this is just not true. I had installed Win 10 the other day and ran DCS and no surprise it was running mostly on the Ecores. MY specs are in the signature.. I had just gotten done installing Win 11 and tested DCS and what do you know again DCS was using the Ecores mostly and 3 other cores were being used with 1 PCore stacked at near 100% and a couple other cores with a bit of usage. Plus even tho I had set my parked cores to unparked a few showed parked.. here is a screenshot whilst DCS was running in a Apache canned mission whilst on the threshold.. now you will note all ecores are near maxed out. Now maybe someone can explain what is going on here but it seems to look as it is with the Ecores mostly being used ingame. Now If I play the game I will get massive stutters as I had a similar thing happen last time I was on Win11 while playing DCS but that time it was a MP mission and it lagged real bad.. I figured out what was happening and installed PL and all was well. It then prompted me to do a test I installed win 10 Pro and had similar experience with the ecores but that should not surprise anybody.. I then went back to Win 11 Pro and just played DCS and as you can see with the screenshot it is mostly on the Ecores.. I omitted the other cor pics as they were barley used. but note the usage on the ecores in the below screenshot.. I was wondering if it is DCS causing this issue or is Win 11 to blame, I thought Win 11 was supposed to stop this from happening??

no thnx you also need to buy more gear and nvidia always drops support for this stuff after a while..

To the OP I had a 10foot DLP 3 Projectoer S3D setup and VR Outshines that by miles in my opinion. the thing with VR is no matter where you look you see the VR World and not the Real world persay and that always broke immersion. Once I seen VR for what it was and got it I never looked back..

well I found out the thermal paste Which I did was not an optimal spread. I had tried something different and plus the paste I used was rather thick and did not spread real easy. I repasted it using the credit card method and that seemed to have lowered the temps quite a bit.. So I had ordered some new thermal paste and will repaste it and reseat the cooler.. this paste I have now was just too thick.. I guess when putting the dot method it did not spread too well and had some hot spots I would imagine.. I bought some corsair paste, which is less viscous so should spread better.. plus it comes with a spreader so I will do that method again and see if the new past works better..

I have just got done with the reinstall of the new case and AIO it turned out pretty good. I am still unsure ifI have the cooler seated properly the temps still seemed a bit high when I ran a OCCT CPU Test.. but so far it seems to be working. I will need to experiment some more but it turned out pretty decent I like the new case and AIO.. EDIT: Well when I ran OCCT CPU Test 5 of the cores were over 95c but the rest were under 90c, one core went too 100c and a couple at 99c.. so either the AIO is seated wrong or the cpu is defective.. not sure but maybe someone can verify what is wrong here? temps are no lower while running the OCCT Test then with the air cooler?? Will run some more testing to make sure the AIO Heatsink is properly seated.. here are some build Pics:

Well, Santa brought me the new PC case now I just need to muster up the energy to switch it all out and install the AIO.. I want to do it know but dreading it lol!!

Hey Guys, Merry Christmas and happy new year. I had gotten the Thermalright Frozen Notte cooler 360 and I had asked the oracle if I could use the Thermalright aftermarket CPU BRacket and rediscovered this old post by me and I see that LucShep had answered my question about if I could use the TR Bracket with this AIO and it was a yes.. So now I will wait until tomorrow Christmas to see if Santa will send me the case I wanted to fit this new AIO in with.. I am pretty sure I will be getting it and will have to wait until tomorrow to see if I did. So Once I get the new case I can swap out the Air Cooler for the AIO and see what I can do with the OC of the CPU.. I am going to run a bank of tests and note them here to see what the difference is when I put in the AIO vs my Air Cooler now.. so I will get some Idle temps and 100% Usage temps then do the same after I install the AIO and see what difference there will be.. I am really getting excited and looking forward too Christmas.. Hopefully Santa was nice to all the kiddies out there

OK Small Update, I had given up on the Q3 and I am sending it back.. Gonna have to save up and try the Pimax CL no other way that I see.. thnx tho.

for some reason when I went in the MP Mission the FPS were jumping around and not staying on half the refresh rate of 120. Not sure why ASW did not seem to work.

Well I tried setting a few different ways but currently I have the Q3 set @120Hz with ASW On and the initial looking of it seemed to have looked like the least amout of stutter out the sides.. I will try this setting if we fly tonight and let you all know how it goes..

I am hearing issues with Link Cable.. so IDK not going to update just yet..

Dude that is the same program from Steam.. so what about God mode is that just setting the encode rate to 960? or is God mode something differnt.

oh ok so where is it just using the Air link I am unsure why it is called Virtual Desktop?? Where do or how do I set God mode?

VD is the program on Steam correct? I just find it hard to believe that would work bertter then the cable..

to be honest I am afraid to try it.. does it work well with the link cable? why not use Process Lasso, why would I use the ecores for DCS?? any benchmarks with and without PL?

Yes I did all those except disable Process LAsso. I have followed your thread and seen all in there. I have either done or already knew about those tweaks.. I will try again with PL Disabled I will just uninstall it I guess..

Well I sent back the Meta Cable it was way too much and I found a good replacement that will keep it charged while I play as the Link cable did not do that well enough to have long game sessions for my settings.. I will be trying out the Wireless tonight while gaming. I dont think the battery will last long enough but either way it is not a long term solution as I have no cable long enough to make it work temporarily.. so I will order the new cable tomorrow along with a few more things and I guess I have tweaked about all I can. I do beleieve the fault with DCS..

Well the 6ghz capable Router is about 15' away and I am getting only a Good signal from where I am to it.. I really not sure I want to go wireless, wouldnt that be even slower then the USB Cable I currently use?? EDIT: I just checked and they want 25bucks for VD.. OH my

Well upto this point I tried all the suggestions and I ust reinstalled Process Lasso and I still get ever so slight stutter when looking out the side. I did have a test mission where it was just the apache in syria taking off from Alleppo and I still had the stuitter. Now I am guessing this is from DCS but what is wierd I did not have this happen with my G2 when I had it running. I am just stumped at this point but will continue to dig.. I am pretty sure this should be fixable but maybe it is the limitation of the USB 3.1 Gen 1 slot in the Q3.. I am really mad they decided to go with that older connection and not the newer gen 2 port.. I sure hope they fix that in the Q4.. I may write the president of Meta..

well I deleted QV so I guess no need to worry about that anymore.. it seems to run about the same and looks better.. yes I had done those as well. I will double check core isolation tho..

yes they were the same so it is working correctly.. thnx for the heads up..
