Shogun0 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 So I bought a new PC: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Storage: A-Data Premier SP550 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ Video Card Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer Assembled it all last night and it works great. Now I need a new monitor. I use an older 21.5" LCD. I sit pretty far back from my monitor but Im not sure if I am far enough back for a 27" monitor to not look blocky in 1920x1080. Can a 980Ti run DCS at 1440p? I'm kind of nervous of buying a new resolution monitor and finding out it doesn't run as well. Thoughts?

BitMaster Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Look into Gsync, I can only say it works damn good. Havent heard any negative about in in here, all say so far : NO MORE STUTTER at 100fps The LCD in my sig got a nice update with IPS panel now, that is what I would buy, toss 4k until it is down to earth and at 100Hz at least, 60Hz is a totally different way of how DCS reacts, honestly, 100 is good, more even better and 1440p at 27" aint small either..it depends where you put focus, performance or eye candy 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...
Jester Darrak Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Why the 850 Watts PSU? I have 800W and am running 2x 980GTX partnered with a Haswell-E 5930K and the whole system drains 530W from the wall.

BitMaster Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Why the 850 Watts PSU? I have 800W and am running 2x 980GTX partnered with a Haswell-E 5930K and the whole system drains 530W from the wall. maybe because you should aim for 50% max load on your PSU to maintain coolness and high efficiency ? I draw about 390w from the wall in DCS and roughly 510w max in prime95 and some OpenGL cruncher same time. That keeps my PSU cool enough to not need the fan and thus zero dB, even if i would add another 980. *EDIT: but his is bronze only, he misses the whole point of what I wrote above 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...
Jester Darrak Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) I handpicked my stuff over 6 months while reading dozens of tests and reports regarding raw power, efficiency and power consumption for almost every part in my computer and if there was one thing that came clear was that a overpowerd PSU will more likely harm almost everything. 1st your wallet. The higher the output, the higher the price. 2nd your wallet. The further away your own max load from the peak output of the PSU, the lower is the efficiency. A 1000W PSU at 400W output drains more power from the wall than a 600W PSU providing same output. 3rd the components inside the PSU. No airflow will cause hotspots in your PSU which reduces durability/lifetime of the whole PSU. 4th the overall noise. Again no airflow will also make your case, CPU and GPU fan work harder, as most cases only come with one or two intake-fans. It's always better to have a couple of fans running on low RPM than one or two off while three or four must run at higher rpm. But that's just my opinion. No need for high output PSU if not going for SLI/CF. The sweet spot for PSU lies around 75-90% load. One more thing: don't buy OC RAM. 50% higher cost with 2-5% increased performance. Totally worth the money! [/irony] Edited January 20, 2016 by Jester Darrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon_ Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) As long as you are in the good range, i see no problem. 390w at the input, mean 359w at the output. You are at 30% load, 92% of efficiency. And 92% in a sli config. Good choice. cichlidfan 340w (90% utilisation) is around 40% load. On the peak. About the durability/limetime, target for the Japanese. Edited January 20, 2016 by Demon_ Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
