ElCuco68 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 I downloaded MSI Afterburner, so I could monitor processor usage in game while in VR. I'm currently using an AMD FX-8350 until I can get an 8700k or 7820X (which is better for VR, by the way?), which I overclocked to 4.6 GHz at 1.5V. I have a watercooled EVGA GTX-1080Ti, 32Gb of DDR3 1866MHz RAM, and various SSDs and HDDs. While flying, both CPU (all cores roughly the same percentage) and GPU stayed between 30-40% (!). Not at all what I was expecting. DCS never went above 28 fps while flying; looking at the ground at low altitude brought it down to about 20-22 fps, which was making me nauseous. CPU went up to about 65 degrees C, at 4.61 GHz, and the GPU stayed below 55 degrees C. I'm using that mod that raises framerate, btw. What's going on, and how do I fix this? Or, does this mean that that 8350 is strangling that card?
