MrMasterbes Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hello I'm currently running a GTX 780 and a i7 5820k overclocked to 4.5GHz. I'm playing DCS with my HTC vive and I'm starting to think that my 780 is starting to bottleneck my computer. Would my FPS increase much if I upgraded to 1080 or simlar AMD card?

Hadwell Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Hello I'm currently running a GTX 780 and a i7 5820k overclocked to 4.5GHz. I'm playing DCS with my HTC vive and I'm starting to think that my 780 is starting to bottleneck my computer. Would my FPS increase much if I upgraded to 1080 or simlar AMD card? Thanks there is no AMD similar card to the 1080 DCS is currently CPU bottlenecked, BUT!! if you don't run the game at super high settings, also don't run the game with trees turned all the way up and flat shadows off etc... a 1080 will for sure outperform a 780 I'm getting a 1080 as soon as the one I want is available... I suggest you wait for a good one (EVGA classified is the one I want for example), rather than just buy what's available now.

MrMasterbes Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 At normal flight I only see a 60% cpu usage on one of the cores. about 10% total CPU usage so I was thinking this was a GPU issue.

Jesper Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Something else is wrong. CV1 + 1080 and a 2600k at 4.6ghz 50%gpu load 20%cpu load and only 45-50 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might improve a little with a PCI 3.0 enabling CPU. i7 2600k limits "Data interchange bandwith" to PCI 2.0 specs.

Jesper Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I see now that 20%cpu is just the overall % One core is almost on 85% going up and down. So I guess it's a cpu bottleneck after all :( Somebody selling a 6GHz cpu?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesper Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yipey!! Ah sooo nice. I fired up DCS 1.5 everything on max except trees and vis radius(will try that later) Pixel ov. 2.0 I don't know how to post a picture here but... It says 90fps :) :) CPU (the right core) 61% GPU 93% I really thought that 2.0 would be better but apperantly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadwell Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 That might improve a little with a PCI 3.0 enabling CPU. i7 2600k limits "Data interchange bandwith" to PCI 2.0 specs. There is still no single GPU that'll use all the bw of a single 16x pcie 2.0 slot. Even if 3.0 might have more available bandwidth... Need 3way sli for that.
