First time it was CPU based, nowtime it ist GPU based

Cant you get it in the middle? Everyone of us could be proud of you, when you would have done it, venerable DCS!

It still needs a decent fast CPU, you cant skip one for the other.

 

 

It's rather that you need both from the top shelf.

The top of the shelf

 

@BitMaster

When this ist right, than please dont get höher. Cause i sonst cant see the bottom!

Denglish is the best language there is, isn't it

The problem is that, when ED changed the engine to unload the cpu and load the gpu, the performances increased a lot.

 

Unloading the gpu just to have equal loads between gpu and cpu will result in perf loss…

Its a changing thing. When a Über-GPU ( hypothetical ) arrives for X-Mas, 5xfaster than any Nvidia, labeld DCS-GPU, you will find yourself CPU locked

or in the need of a 8k screen to use that raw power.

 

 

If, on the other hand, DCS-CPU with 15GHz arrives at X-mas, with an even better IPC, you'd be GPU-bottlenecked. Where to with all this power ?

 

 

In reality, it works the same way just with far smaller differencies between the partitions, but still the same scheme.

 

 

As technology evolves and API's come and go, you will eventually see a CPU or a GPU bottleneck, in very rare situations there is a balance where the CPU is just powerfull enough to feed the GPU, both at 98-100%. This is so rare it is non existent in RL. If it was, any hiccup would be a desaster and toutenglisse's wisdom strikes, it would be a drawback. Too tight to work properly. Too sensitive for disturbencies is maybe more adequat.
