Marduk454 Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Hi guys, Do you think it's worth upgrading from i7 2600k @ stock and 980, dcs on ssd. To a 7700k with 1080 and a m2 ssd? Or is it better to just buy a 1080 and replace the 980? Thank you Skickat från min ONEPLUS A3003 via Tapatalk

Rudel_chw Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 In your place, I'd buy first the graphics card and test if i´m satisfied with the performance increase ... only if the performance is still lacking would go for the processor upgrade. Also, check which chipset your current motherboard has, as not all are compatible with the 7700: https://ark.intel.com/products/97129/Intel-Core-i7-7700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_50-GHz You may have to upgrade the motherboard along with the processor.

Andrei Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I've made a recent upgrade from Radeon HD to GF1070. Overall, FPS have improved, however now the CPU seems to be a bottleneck. In missions with many units there's a notable drop in FPS and the game is not very smooth. Just ordered 7700K, I count on it to improve minimum/average FPS.

Demon_ Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Marduk454, what is your resolution? How many RAM you have? The Gtx1070 is powerful. The SSD Samsung 850 and 850 pro are very good. Edited March 9, 2017 by Demon_ Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche.
Abburo Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Agree with Demon. If you are on 4k then yes... upgrade might worth it. If you are on 1920x1080 then is not worhting at all. Your config is good enough. Romanian Community for DCS World HW Specs: AMD 7900X, 64GB RAM, RTX 4090, HOTAS Virpil, MFG, CLS-E, custom
Marduk454 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Posted March 9, 2017 Hi all thank you for answers. I have 16gb ram. I'm running at 1920 now but having plans for Vr. Skickat från min ONEPLUS A3003 via Tapatalk
Demon_ Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 First, you should overclock your CPU at 4.2-4.5Ghz. Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche.
