DCS 2.5 on Ryzen 5

[Django]

For anyone running DCS 2.5 at *1440p* on a Ryzen 1500X, 1600 or 1600X system, what kind of performance are you seeing? Particularly interested in those with GTX1070 or better cards, please say if you're overclocking.

I have a Ryzen 1500X, but with an older card, the GTX970 ... not into overclocking, I'm getting 40-60 fps on Caucasus, 40-80 fps on Nevada and 40-55 fps on Normandy.

 

 

I'm very satisfied with this performance and happy that this processor seems to be free from Intel's vulnerabilities :)

Is that at 1440p?

No, my monitor is 1080p .. sorry, I read your original post too fast :(

Sorry I have 1700x with 1080ti I oc it at 3.95 when I use dcs....144hz 1440p monitor all high except shadows (low/flat) I use adaptive sync so 72 mostly on the ground and in the more complex scenes can go up to 144 in some scenarios... anyway the lowest fps I have seen on it is about 55...2.5 is really great for me till now...

I'd consider Ryzen 7s if the price was lower, now I'm looking at mainly the 1600X. What memory speed are you running?

That's the bad part of the business....the shop where I bought the rig components, sold me a 3200GHz gskill memory kit, but with the wrong chip, so with my motherboard I am able only to run it at 2800GHz.... waiting for bios upgrades or next Ryzen gen rumored to solve memory frequency issue...

Anyway it was my mistake because I did not check the motherboard supported chip page..... because I thought that all gskill kit were ok it...but that is true only for skill with Samsung memory chip

.anyway the 1600x will be similar to my 1700x for DCS (until multithreading of course) but I use also the PC for other tasks not only simming....

I was looking at getting a dual channel 32GB kit but I'm reconsidering, it really depends upon how memory use turns out in 2.5. What CAS is your memory?

[Mr_sukebe]

A question for you Ryzen users if I may. We're currently trying to understand CPU usage across cores, as it "appears" that 2.5 is making better use of multiple cores than 2.2 or 1.5 did.

Would you chaps be kind enough to take a look at the typical usage in game and whether the load is spread fairly evenly across all of your CPU cores or not?

Later I will have a look at it...

Is there a way to have CPU utilization statistics while in game?

I have not a second screen so the only thing I can do is alt-tab every now and then

Yes afterburner - on settings you tick all cpu cores loads to be "on screen displayed" and so in DCS you have the %usage for every core

These are my CPU/RAM settings..first picture is normal use..2nd dcs settings...for Ram is the same... theoretically I can go up to 2800 with Ram but via BIOS.. don't know why but Ryzen master don't have this value...or 1333 (X2) or 1467 (X2) which doesn't work..no 1400 option.

for the CPU I can go up to 4Ghz but is not stable....

Ok I will download it and try

Here some statistics...

add swapfile in OSD

 

your CPU bottlenecks your GPU, that's what I read.

 

How much max GPU usage do you get, no spikes, sustanined load ?

 

Is it that tuff to push the 1080Ti with a Ryzen @ QHD ?

 

If yes, then I am glad I have this Intel with all it's flaws.

i don't see it so bad.....i have 100+ fps with quite high settings (minum i saw 50fps in the heaviest situations)....of course my rig will seat down in VR...but i don't care about VR for now...then i made the Ryzen choice for future and because simming is not my only use for the PC and i needed as much core as i could have for my money...

When (hopefully soon) DCS will go multithread my choice will pay....

[BitMaster]

i think vr would be the ryzens domain, not the 2d-fps-race.

 

i love our 1600x in da office, those ryzen are little devils, fast, silent, reliable

Is DCS 2.5 using vulkan already? DX11+R7 will bottle-neck the 1080Ti. current Ryzens dont have the single core perf to do keep up.

 

I dont expect this to be an issue with Vulkan because then R7's will be firing on all cylinders (cores).

Dcs is not using Vulkan...but it will (I hope soon)

Yes r7 single thread perf is inferior to Intel...but speaking about fps in Dcs i am quite satisfied...

I was speaking in relative terms of course. :) In my experience my R7 has been pretty snappy in any scenario. The bottleneck is theoretical and measurable but the ingame action is smooth on every title with detail maxed out.

Infact...that's my experience as well, with 2.5 then I can run with many settings on high...in general higher then 1.5..with other games well....in general is all maxed out

cores do count meanwhile, just with only 4 you cant find out.

 

Try to explain the colour red to a blind man :(

In that case what cards would you suggest for a R5 1600X, and for R7 1700X?
