joebloggs Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I know DCS is dependent on both CPU and GPU, but which one now effects performance most in 1.5? With the old DCS, it didn't really matter what Graphics card you had because it mainly required you to have a good CPU. But what does it mainly use now CPU or GPU?
FSKRipper Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 First of all this is a bug report forum so this thread is wrong in this place and will be moved shortly. To give you a hint, get a very good GPU and a medium/upper level CPU, this will bring your DCS experience to a new level. i9 9900K @ 5,0GHz | 1080GTX | 32GB RAM | 256GB, 512GB & 1TB Samsung SSDs | TIR5 w/ Track Clip | Virpil T-50 Stick with extension + Warthog Throttle | MFG Crosswind pedals | Gametrix 908 Jetseat [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Rangi Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 My experience has been it's a bit of both. With the rig in my signature I was getting 30-40 at a busy airfield(the slowest point for me), much smoother than 1.2, but some noticeable stutter when panning around. Settings mostly high but with lens and dof off and aa low. I have now upgraded to a 6600k and 16gb ram and no matter what I do (except dof) I can't get it to dip below 60fps (vsync locked) and it is smoother than any flight simulator I have ever played (and I have been playing for over 20 years). It was working great with the old rig and I didn't really need to upgrade, but I am glad I did, because of the smooth feeling of no fps changes. The other thing to think about is your brain gets used to what you have and smooths over many of the problems.. So if you have the money go for a big rig, but it's not essential and with 1.5 even old CPUs are getting great results. PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.
