Arramis Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I just bought a new PC, with Ryzen 1700x, mb Asrock z370 Killer SLI, 32 GB ram (patriot - 2400), SSD WD 240 gb, HDD 1TB (where game is installed), and EVGA gtx 1080 FTW ACX3.0 (8GB ram) I am wondering if is normal to have under 30 FPS (average 24-25) in DCS 1.5 , with all settings maxed out, in 1080P, or I have issues with drivers/config. Thank you
Pilotasso Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Same CPU here, and it's smooth as it can be maxed out. Have you updated the BIOS? Make sure SATA and PCI-E lanes are set to 3 and disable game DVR in windows. You can also disable telemetry of both windows 10 and NVIDIA drivers. I use SPYBOT. Move DCS over to the SSD as well. This is almost a requirement for best experience these days. Good luck! Edited September 20, 2017 by Pilotasso .

Hi Pilotasso...i am about to pull the trigger on an offer build that i received with Ryzen 1700x gtx 1080ti and 16gb ddr4 3200MHz Ram....can you expand more on performance in both DCS 1.5 and 2..and if you have info also on other sims? What about VR?Do you use it?

Pilotasso Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) this is my testing with DCS 2 compared to my old rig. This is with early BIOS way back in April. I have crancked up the CPU to 3.9 and memory to 3200 since (was 3.85 with 2933 respectively plus some more finetuning). Please note that I have tested the 2 CPU's at start with the same GFX (a GTX 970) and then I also measured the difference with the introduction of a 1080Ti in the R7. The numbers dont make justice how much the experience has improved with the R7+1080Ti. The variation in FPS was much lower while always remaining well above 60 FPS versus the choppy performance I had before (the tests with the 2500K must have had many frames dropped). but the other side of the coin is that the game is far more dependent on the GFX side now. You dont need an R7 if DCS is your main goal. You can go I7 7700 or R5 1600 for basically very similar experience, and the later will be far cheaper than the R7 or the I7. I got an 8 core for star citizen and future proofing. I have not joined the VR bandwagon. Im still recovering from a tight budgetary situation. ;) Edited September 21, 2017 by Pilotasso .
Arramis Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 Thank you for your insight, verry helpfull. I see now that i have a memory problem on my pc. My mainboard is ASROCK x370 killer sli, and memory patriot (2400), but i can not make it run at 2400, is seen in bios at 2133 and stays this way. I`ll probably upgrate to 1080 Ti :)
Pilotasso Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 I just remembered something. Download AMD all in one driver package here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064 then choose Ryzen balanced power plan. I prevents too many cores to be parked. When they unpark with the stardard windows power plan, you might observe some micro-lag during this process. I have mine 100% unparked. .
BitMaster Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 If possible, take that RAM back and exchange it for some 2600-3200MHz modules. That will help a lot. 2nd is, you will regret putting DSC on a HDD, BIG failure !..--> put it on your SSD or get a 2nd SSD if you need to asap. DCS really needs a SSD, dozens of threads here proof this. ...and follow Pilotasso's advice and update all your drivers 360° everywhere 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

steel_tiger1 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 On ryzen is not possible above 2400 yet Depends on memory and motherboard. I have seen some stable overclocks around 3100.

Silvern Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 On ryzen is not possible above 2400 yet :) Ryzen supports up to 3200Mhz. Even more if you are willing to tinker with BIOS.
Pilotasso Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Official support is 2666 on this platform, though 3200 can be reached easily on B350 and X370 boards as long as the memory kits are in the qualified vendor list. There are others but you have to choose carefully, namely SAMSUNG B die kits. They usually are the lowest latency kits in their clock speed category. For 3200Mhz that would be any CAS14 kits which are the lowest for that speed. .
