Friend is having problems with his computer

[ElCuco68]

There is a guy named Maurycy Gratkiewicz on the DCS VR Aviators group on Facebook, and he's having a problem with his rig. It seems like he's got the right equipment, but maybe needs some help with tuning it for DCS. Here is his post:

 

"Specialy bought latest, PC for our love DCS, i was shocked I9 9900K DDR4 32G 3000 MHz, Samsung 970 Pro m.2 and only 25/30 fps with everything on mac settings, and 1080p resolution, i remember when I’ve got I7 6700K and 980Ti hybryd with 16G ram, and that wirks much softer and without „slideshow” Im affraid to connect oculus...I don’t wanna disapoint..."

 

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Especially looking for input from Bitmaster:helpsmilie:

There should be *NOTHING* to tune when flying in 1080P with those specs. But what video card is he using? I'm assuming it's not the onboard graphics card.

 

 

But the first thing that comes to mind are drivers. Very hold and outdated drivers?

 

 

 

And wouldn't it be faster for him to just post here?

He's using an EVGA GTX-1080Ti, and the same MB as me. It's a brand-new system, so I'm assuming he has new drivers. I told him where to find this thread, so hopefully he'll join us at some point.

Yep,

 

Not trying to be smart or anything... But I have seen some plug their monitor into the motherboard vga/dvi port and not use the graphics card display port, dvi port.

 

If it's hold 20 fps on max settings, it must be a good onboard GPU.

Might sound like a stupid question...but what version of windows is he running? Had a friend in a similar situation who just couldn't get DCS ironed ot despit all of our efforts. Turned out he as running windows 10 home or student or something other than windows 10 premium.

 

Once he switched to a supported version of windows everything worked as specter.

Dumb question but has he installed the GPU driver? (This has happened before)

 

@Sierra99

Nothing to do with Premium or Home

Without him here, answering the essentials our hands are really tied together.

 

iGPU could be it, or a thousand other things

 

Dxdiag was good to have here

I beg to differ...we spent WEEKS trying to get his 970 to give more than 2-3 FPS With no luck...no matter what we did it constantly reverted to the windows basic drivers...so he bought a 1070ti...the exact same card another friend and I bought...

 

WE installed and everything worked...HE could not get more than basic drivers. Did some research and found a post stating there were no 1070ti drivers available for a particular version of windows. I don't remember exactly which but when he checked his OS and sure as hell it was NOT windows 10 professional and the card was not going to work.

 

After he Installed Windows 10 Professional on a new drive everything worked exactly as advertised.

 

Sometimes a misclick when installing an upgrade can lead to issues.

Must have been something else then.

Running everything fine on Win10 Home here (using a 970)

Win10 and Win10 pro do not differ in drivers. They differ in management features, encryption and RDP mostly, RAM also but that ha sbeen greatly increased for non-Pro versions to an extend where it wont matter even for DCS Pilots.

 

 

No, as golani79 said, the reason was/is elsewhere. Don't follow wrong assumption as it might come back.
