Much better video card = same frame rate...

[Nooch]

I don't want to resurrect this old thread, but I want to pass on that the helpful folks here were right:

 

I upgraded to an i7-8700K, and my DCS frame rate has easily more than doubled.

 

That definitely confirms that I was greatly CPU-bound with my good 'ol 2600K... :(

 

Thanks for the info mate. I just got myself a 1080 ti and was astonished to see my fps remained exactly the same as with my gtx 980... I have a 4670k (@4.2ghz) which is a slightly newer (but still old) cpu than the 2600k you had and it looks like it is holding back my graphics card like it did for you :(

 

Other games like witcher 3 give me a 100% fps boost but because DCS is basically locked to a single core, well I'm getting no improvement.

Did you have your 2600K overclocked or on stock speeds?

I had the same experience when upgrading from 970 to 1070ti however I was able to turn up all of the bling which was an improvement for me.
