seikdel Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Hey Folks. I'm currently running the following: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate 16GB DDR3 i5-3570K (3.4GHz, OC'd to 3.8GHz) GTX 570 2560MB x2 running in SLI 1920x1080 primary monitor with 1280x1024 secondary running my MFDs I originally picked up the GTX 570 2.5GB version in the hopes of future-proofing through SLI. It initially worked fairly well for most games. DCS, as always, is an obvious exception. I've had nothing but trouble trying to get it to behave with SLI. 368.81 seems to have killed SLI for me altogether (AFR2 only gets ~10% usage out of 2nd GPU now) and I can't figure out how to fix it. I'm currently kinda poor (too poor to dump $500 into a new GPU). My bro-in-law just told me about the GTX 1060 (coming out in 2 days), which sounds like a poor-man's GTX 10-series that still performs pretty well. Any thoughts about using it in DCS? From what I've seen, people seem to have had pretty good luck with the 1070. tl;dr do i upgrade from GTX 570 2.5GB x2 to GTX 1060 6GB x1? Edited July 17, 2016 by seikdel

SeldomSeen Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 for now, sli is not optimized yet for dcs, i'd go with high v-ram single card. maybe one day it will be.....cheers :-) P-51, 109K4, 190D9, Spitfire MK IX, Normady :joystick: i7 7700K, 4.4ghz, 32gb ram, Windows-10 Pro, ASRock Z270 board, Corsair 1000w psu, Samsung Evo 1T SSD & 250 SSD, Titan-X 12gb OC, Asus ROG Swift 24”, 180Hz/1ms, G-SYNC Monitor, Trackir 5, mfg Crosswind pedals, TM warthog,
Knock-Knock Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Im expecting the 1060 performance to be roughly as the 970. nVidia has a history of doing that, so a 660 performs almost like a 570, a 760 almost like a 670, 960 almost like a 770 etc. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals |

BitMaster Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 For that money and 6GB VRAM it's a clear GO ;) Same fps +/- a few as a 980GTX that was once 3x the price. Not bad !

Art-J Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Is it really that good (for a midrange product that is)? I'm starting to think about replacing my good ole' 780, but being rather tight on budget, certainly can't afford ridiculously priced 1070s and 1080s. "The sixty" suddenly shapes up to be a very interesting offer. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
SkateZilla Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 If you have no plans to ever use SLi, yes, otherwise try and go for 1070, 1060's have their teething issues w/ drivers etc that every card has.

kolga Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 I just got a 1060 yesterday and does really well at 1080p. most (not all) of my settings are on high and it holds 60fps with very little stuttering.

BitMaster Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Shadows on ULTTRA might be a killer setting..ehh dunno if it really pays back visually to put such a burden on the machine. Otherwise, if you are capped to 60fps screenwise, why not do that if the GPU has the power ;) Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT - 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 XG27ACG QHD 180Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X
kolga Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 ...if you are capped to 60fps screenwise... I have Vsync on if thats what you mean?

Hadwell Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I have Vsync on if thats what you mean? it depends on your monitor, but most monitors can only display 60 frames in a second, aka 60Hz... there are 244hz monitors though... and most gaming monitors are 144hz (my asus ROG swift is 144hz)... but a standard desktop monitor can only display 60 fps, even if your videocard is rendering 500 fps...

I know that :), and I use vsync when i actually fly to keep it at 60. I was just unsure what you ment by that.
