CBoB Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Almost everything is finally here, just waiting on a couple more monitors. Now I am starting to put it together. New computer almost ready, just waiting for water block adapter plate. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
streakeagle Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Is the control panel display a touch-screen, or just a regular display? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Svsmokey Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Killer specs....you are aware DCS not thought to be SLI compatible ? 6 or 7 monitors would seem to be a stretch :) 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2
CBoB Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 Killer specs....you are aware DCS not thought to be SLI compatible ? 6 or 7 monitors would seem to be a stretch :) I won't be running in SLI, three main monitors will be in surround on one card and the other three or four will be extensions on the second card. Nvidia told me if I use SLI I can only have three monitors in surround with one extension [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
METEOP Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Whoa! Very impressive. I hope you are not too disappointed by the actual result because it seems to me it will be a couple of years before DCS can fully use such ressources. In any case, I am interested in seeing what is the maximum practical performance of DCS is at this point in time so your system seems like the ideal 'no holds barred no budget limit' testbench. There are tremendous resources on the forum and out there for tuning, I'm expecting you will need to adjust a few things just because of the sheer number of monitors your running.

I don't think I'll be disappointed, I've had DCS for a few years now but my old computer died a couple years ago and it has been unplayable on my current system so just being able to play it again on my new computer will be worth any result. It's been about 12 years since I build a new gaming system so I figured I better 'buck up' now and maybe it'll last me a few years. I'm sure it will take a lot of tweaking to get it running right.

Razi Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Does rendering a second monitor with a second gpu improve FPS much?
CBoB Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 Does rendering a second monitor with a second gpu improve FPS much? I really don't know. I've never had a system quite like this before , so I guess I will find out. I've had two monitors before in crossfire, but that was a long time ago and this one is a totally different Beast [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
CBoB Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 Mounted the mouse pad so it can be slid out of the way. Going to be using Helios so hoping to do away with most of the mouse clicking, but there will always be a need to have one handy. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
CBoB Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Computer is ready, just need to finish the Pit then it's game time :pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
CBoB Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Final few more things and it will be ready. Finally got and installed the other two touch screens, backup PS, key pad by the throttle and sound system. Tomorrow the computer goes in and finish up the wiring.

CBoB Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 Things are finally up and running and I'm sort of happy with it. Getting steady high 70s to 80s fps even on almost everything maxed just to test. but the cockpit (A-10C) seems really dark at that high settings. These are my settings Maybe someone has suggestion on setting to brighten it up a bit without losing too much texture quality? I know I just set this all up but I've decided to change my monitors. With three monitor main screen set up, my 37.5" ultrawide is just too wide for a room only 5' wide. The angle of my side monitors is just not right and since it's 21:9 (3840x1600) and the two side monitors are 27" Flat 1920x1080s, it's just not good enough. So I have two 27" and one 37.5 ultrawide for sale :lol: Three 31" curved monitors are even slightly large then this setup, so that leaves me with three 27" curved monitors. I was thinking of going with this Three Acer XZ271U 27" Curved 1440p 144Hz 1ms Gaming Monitors They are in my cart and my fingers on the trigger. Unless anyone has any other ideas? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Emmy Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 You might want to try a Gamma setting higher than 1.5 FWIW, the native Gamma on my Dell 27” monitor is 2.2 (confirmed with weekly hardware calibration) but at least give 1.8 or so a shot. That is one helluva setup you’ve got! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com
