About SLI and CPU impact on DCS 1.5 and 2.0 in 4k

[dureiken]

Hi there

 

I would like to share my tests on DCS 1.5 and 2.0 about SLI impact and CPU overclock impact.

 

My rig : i5 6600k+GTX1080 Gaming X SLI+16GB DDR4+4k Philips BDM4065UC

 

Under DCS all sliders are maxed out.

DCS 2.0 track : http://www.mediafire.com/download/vc8wfww6crcmmv6/Bench.trk

 

I use Fraps for recording fps.

 

For DCS 1.5 I use this profile : https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2681946&postcount=225

 

DCS 1.5 no SLI vs SLI

 

 

DCS 1.5 no SLI 4.6Ghz vs 5.0Ghz

 

 

DCS 2.0 no SLI vs SLI

 

 

 

DCS 2.0 no SLI 4.6Ghz vs 5.0Ghz

 

 

I have made a lot of others tests, you can ask if you want.

 

DCS 1.5 Water impact

Water detail have a HUGE impact on fps :

 

 

My settings with 1 GTX 1080 under 1.5

 

Finally I sold the second GTX as it is not used in DCS 1.5 for now, and here are my final settings for playing 60hz in all situation, Vsync on :

 

 

 

Hope this help !

Sorry, can you post the picture of your settings in english, please? :D

Interesting to see how little effect the overclock has. Of course this is just one PC. I'd be interested to see multiple similar benchmarks to see if this is true with lower clockspeeds as well.

 

Are you intending to do similar test with multiple AI units and combat?

4.6 to 5 GHz is a tiny difference (8%), so not sure what kind of gain you're expecting. You won't even notice such difference without fps counter.

Now that you put it in precentage it feels more reasonable. I guess I was hasty. DCS being a CPU hungry sim I hoped to see some magic ;)

I just bought a Titan X Pascal, I will do same tests with this new card next week :)

élève = high

Moyen = medium.

Is your monitor(s) G-Sync capable? If so, turn off V-Sync

Why ? I prefer to stay at 60hz fix than moving from 60 to 130hz
