BitMaster Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Yes, but I finally settled @ 1.34 Volts for now as it seems more stable and in my kind of use cool enough as I dont do Prime95 for money or joy. The series of pics shows a walk through prime95 with all monitors opened so you can see how the temp goes from mid 70s to 90s depending on what the cores have to crunch. The system is in full cooling mode, Tower and ext Radiator are at max rpm. The caps are air cooled, I have the wc kit but didnt dare to take those coolers off and the NB wc set wouldnt fit due to the 980GTX directly 2mm above it. Still...I am amazed. This CPU is getting better with time. It ran as a WinSRV in a Rack for 3 or 4 years 365 and overclocked directly to 4.2 with stock cooler when I took it out to build my gaming rig. So I though, wc it and see how far you can go. I directly managed to Auto-OC to 4.84 GHz stable with 1.44V through the Asus tool, but it also raised FSB to 103, which I dont like. So I set back to 4.8/100x48 @ 1.35V which is very stable even when 100% load for hours, this setting is idiot proof. The 5.0 aint idiot proof, I would not do 30 videos with handbrake on all cores and walk away, that software crunches my mac to its kness and it will make this one bow too over time/night. For DCS 5.0 is ok as an Overdrive for a few hours as you can see on the temps. With 4.8 and 1.35 temps are almost 20°C lower in prime95.....and only for DCS I torture this beast, where frames are everything. For rippin' videos or mp3, terrabytes of backup-sql noodeling I do 4.8 and are safe 24/7/365 5.0 is on the edge tho it runs stable enuff to fly DCS and prime95 if really needed and wanted. I got them both for free, cpu & mobo :) that is the best of all Bit *edit: you can see form 1 - 6 how I lowered voltage from 1.36 to 1.34. This Voltage is not what is actually fed to the CPU, that goes up to 1.6x Volts in my case and as low as 1.02V when @ 1.6GHz idling or YouTubing. Still lowering that value by from 1.36 to 1.34 saves you 8 °C at peak load around where it matters if it is 85-87 or 89-92 Edited February 13, 2016 by BitMaster Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAW_Impalor Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) @tiborrr: Thanks for your effort! I totally agree with your conclusion that for multiscreen and VR there is some bottleneck in the engine. In fact, this bottleneck was discussed half a year ago in relation to A-10C FLIR/MAV bug, and I ran some tests: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2552722&postcount=212 That was with 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 versions of EDGE. Today I ran a similar test to yours to see if my ad-hoc solution still works. I.e. "load DCS with MINIMAL settings and then change them to high in game and launch the mission". I used a 3-minute track of my A-10C flying and used FRAPS, like you did. Here are the results (Min/Max/Avg): 1. DCS launched on HIGH/Usual settings, then I set all to LOW/NO and ran the track: 72/159/107 2. DCS re-launched on LOW/NO and I ran the track with these settings: 138/228/187 (75% gain!) 3. Set all to HIGH/Ultimate, re-launched DCS (important!), ran the track with these settings: 17/56/32 4. Now, set all back to LOW/NO, re-launched DCS(!), set all to HIGH/Ultimate, ran : 39/82/52 (60% gain) I know the settings took effect with no rebooting - based on texture quality, shadows, visibility range etc. So, some people's claim that you must always reboot after each change is groundless. I was not surprised to see these results again, as I did 6 months ago. I am surprised nobody else noticed this. I am now going to open a bug ticket and see what the devs have to say about it! So, there is a BIG difference (on my PC) whether DCS is launched with HIGH System settings or with LOW. I can't explain why it matters, but please go ahead and check on your side! Thanks! PS. I use an "old" NVidia driver 332.21 for my MSI 760 OC 2Gb, as all newer ones give me 10x(!) lower FPS on the "clouds" main screen. I see many people have this problem too... UPDATE: Turned out MFDs resolution only applies after reboot, so the high FPS was with 256. Well, I can live with 512...

Malefic Rage Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Extent of CPU bottleneck Hello. I know this has been discussed a few times, I just wanted to share the results of some experimentation. Until recently I had an AMD FX-6300 CPU with a Radeon R9 290 and have consistently had issues with FPS. Particularly significant was choppiness and minimum FPS when using TrackIR. Since my video card is relatively high-end, especially for the time DCS was released, and I only use medium settings, I couldn't understand the issue. After my motherboard died I replaced my CPU with an Intel Core i5 6600K which I overclocked from 3.5 Ghz to 4.2 Ghz. After running a test run on the same settings with the same video card and with no AI units my results are as follows. (I also tested with my AMD CPU overclocked to 4.2Ghz. I can't remember the exact results so I've listed approximations based on what I remember. AMD FX-6300 (3.5 GHz, 6 core) MinFPS - 21, MaxFPS - 70, AvgFPS - 38 AMD FX-6300 (4.2 GHz, 6 core) MinFPS - 26, MaxFPS - 80, AvgFPS - 43 Intel Core i5 6600K (4.2 Ghz, 4 core) MinFPS - 60, MaxFPS 120, AvgFPS - 90 The difference is spectacular. Basically it means that DCS will not play smoothly on any current-generation AMD CPU unless very modest graphics settings are used (particularly view distance) and only small missions are played. After observing the rendering stats, there seems to be a direct correlation between number of objects rendered and FPS. In hindsight I should also have taken results during a large mission but since my old AM3+ motherboard is dead, I can't any more.

Malefic Rage Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thank you very much for that link. I hadn't come across that before. As for frequency, I should have mention that I tested the AMD CPU with an overclock of 4.2 Ghz. I got about an extra 5 MinFPS but it wasn't that significant. I believe the issue lies with the AMD architecture itself. (I noticed on that link all tests were using an Intel CPU). It will be very interesting to see their new generation coming out later this year. It is supposed to be a brand new architecture focused on per-core performance.

The i7-2600k has a base frequency of 3400MHz and a Turboboost frequency of 3800MHz out-of-the-box btw, 34/38 Multiplier Using Ka-50 as a reference...I jump from mid 40's to high 60's in fps when switching while in the cockpit. I can see the same scene being rendered almost 50% faster when adding that last 1000MHz on top of Turboboost frrequency. Seems like the first 3-4GHz are for the game to be calculated and anything past 4GHz can be used to actually render faster. This, I guess is the true nature of DCS in my understanding...beyond 4.xGHz comes eyecandy, anything prior to that number is basic calculations you gotta do, if you have cycles to spare..well, thats your extra fps on top of those with 4GHz max CPU's. I assume, changing 980GTX to 1080GTX would not bring many more fps but keeping the 980GTX and being able ( in dreams ) to OC that 2600k to 6GHz would gain far more fps ( 1440p based ) Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporg Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Ah yes, 2600K is 3.4 - 3.8 GHz, that's right. It's so long time since I ran it at stock frequency, I forgot. ;) I don't overclock so high since it demands more cooling and fiddling with voltage etc. And since DCS runs quite nicely for me at 4.3.

Bestandskraft Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Does anyone have any experience or speculation as to how 1) the new Broadwell-E CPUs, specifically the 6850k and 6900k, would run DCS, especially compared to the 6700k, with and without overclocking? 2) an ultra-wide resolution of 3440x1440 would affect performance on a GTX 1080, especially compared to 2560x1440? Does anyone have any good/bad experiences with running DCS in 3440x1440 other than performance, e.g. with regard to advantages/disadvantages of a 21:9 aspect ratio?

Malefic Rage Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Does anyone have any experience or speculation as to how 1) the new Broadwell-E CPUs, specifically the 6850k and 6900k, would run DCS, especially compared to the 6700k, with and without overclocking? First off, if you wanted to change you would need a motherboard capable of handling socket 2011-3 since they don't use the standard 1150/1151 sockets. Contrary to the impressions the marketing gives, the new group of high core count Core i7s are actually likely to perform substantially worse than a standard 6700K in DCS. DCS is not multi-threaded so the main (generally) metric of performance is single core performance. Anything more than 2 cores will not get any use by DCS so that $2100 Core i7 6950X Extreme Edition with 10 Cores is actually doing nothing at all for the money. In fact, at 3.0GHz stock speed, it is only 3/4 as effective as a Core i7 6700K at stock speed. Even a plain Core i5 6600 would be faster at 3.5 GHz. As for overclockability. I don't think you would get anything more than you would a standard Skylake CPU; furthermore you would have less headroom for temperature management due to the extremely high TDP rating which would require some pretty serious cooling. All in all, I'm not sure if these CPUs are optimal for gaming since game developers will develop their products to run on the average consumer's CPU. You'll certainly get benefit from a high-end CPU like a Core i7 6700K but unless you have something with a heavily threaded design which specifically requires as many cores as possible then you probably won't get much out of it. I doubt I would ever buy one myself. Hope it helps. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bestandskraft Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 @ Malefic Rage: Makes sense, after reading a couple of reviews of the 6700k and the 6800k+ it seems that the 6700k can be overclocked to a higher frequency with a lower temperature much better, even with an AIO water cooling solution which I'm aiming at getting.

I came across dcs and I am dying to do this. For someone new what is best way for me to figure out what hardware to buy? I only want to buy it once. Can you help me build a rock solid system? I used to be very tech savvy with PC and Windows years ago... Been using Mac so I need to get back up to speed.
