SayusiAndo Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Hi Guys, I'm planning to buy a new machine with Skylake chipset and with DDR4 memory and GTX970. The reason is that within a year we will have Oculus Rift which requires GTX970 as minimum. I don't want to buy a new machine again just, maybe a new video card. Do you have any issues with DDR4 and Skylake chipset playing DCS? Thanks!
dburne Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Hi Guys, Do you have any issues with DDR4 and Skylake chipset playing DCS? Well the only issue I would have with it, is I am jealous!! :) I am sure others with a Skylake will chime in, but I can't see how it would not perform great for you! Personally I think you should consider a GTX 980 Ti to compliment that nice system.

whitehot Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I have absolutely no issues and DCS is at the best I ever saw it - fps are great with all the eye-candy enabled (bar depth of field, but that's a problem with the sim, not the configuration). Also, I was thinking to overclock my cpu when I first got it, yet it's doing so well @ 4.2 (base freq should be 4.0, in fact with turbo enabled is 4.2, so I just set it to stay enabled all the time) that I have no need to do that. In fact, I capped the fps at 120, to avoid unnecessary power consumptions. All in all, it's a great gaming cpu imho.

airdoc Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I have the i5-6600k with Z-170A and R9-390. It doesn't even cough at maxed settings in 1.5 highly recommended. The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life to experience all three at the same time.
Alterscape Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 A lot of rumors suggest nVidia will be releasing a new generation of video cards in 2016 (Pascal architecture-based). I'm personally waiting for this before considering upgrades to my personal rig -- the 980TI is great but at this point it's almost two years old.
