4cMavericK Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Hello lads. Some of you may already know, but there is a way to use old Xeon Quad Core LGA771 processors and put them in LGA775 MoBos, but the question I want to ask is, how does DCS work combined with Quad Core processors, and does its engine support these processors? Is it better to have 3.5Ghz Quad or 4Ghz Duo processor? FPS-vise of course. The point here is that Xeons are cheaper compared to regular Intel Quad processors (you can get Xeon E5450 for 1/3 of a price of C2Q9650) and the performance are the same, but clocking possibilities are weaker.

4cMavericK Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 So the other two would stay useless... Although it could be used for other stuff like TS, FT/TiR, etc... Where/how can I test these processes? Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your wings, like an eagle, Fly and touch the sun.

4cMavericK Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 I meant to see which process uses which core 'n' stuff... Is there an option to assign specific process to a specific core? Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your wings, like an eagle, Fly and touch the sun.
xxJohnxx Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I would let the operating system assing cores. It is normally was better on this itselfe than if you try to interfer. Check out my YouTube: xxJohnxx Intel i7 6800k watercooled | ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 | 32 GB RAM | Asus GTX1080 watercooled

BitMaster Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) AFAIK no C2D has as high GHz as the mentioned Xeon. I would opt for the Xeon. Simple reason, when you play DCS, you will have DOZENS of other processes running along with DCS or whatever app you choose to run, beginning with optional apps like Virus Scanners, TS, Fraps etc.. down to things you cannot and should not terminate as those are vital for Windows to operate. You will have to run all those 50+ processes on those 2 DCS used cores too with a C2D, whereas a Xeon or any other 2+ Core CPU will shift those most likely between the not-so-stressed-by-DCS cores. As long as you don't sacrifice GHz for cores, DCS runs better in 2+ scenarios. Just don't go for a 12-core 2.7GHz Xeon, that would kill my math :) Aynthing 3.x GHz or faster and 4 Cores+ will do fine, talking Intel. I am no fan of AMD's but thats another story...
