I pulled the trigger, i couldn't stand it anymore

[boedha68]

I fly DCS for years now and in VR.

 

Constant tweaking things for better performance. Saving money for the better.

 

Yesterday on the webshop the 9900KS was € 100,00 off. From € 600,00 for € 500,00.

 

That was more then black friday!?!

 

So that was step 1.

 

Upgrade or buy a new system.

 

The second one! :D

 

So the case... Fractal design define s2 White

 

MB: gigabyte aorus ultra

 

memory: Kingston 32 Gb 3200

 

ssd: samsung EVO 1tb

2x crucial 1tb

 

AIO: corsair H150 i pro RGB

 

PSU: Corsair 750W

 

I set my RTX 2080 in my new system, waiting for the 2080Ti breaker. :D

 

Wel i hope some good surprises in difference with my old system. Tommorow the build goes on. :D

Post some fps before and after.

 

There are threads in here that could use that info pretty well !

 

BTW, what's the cooler ? Some have pushed the KS to 5.4G stable with DIY loops. Most do 5.3G with a decent AIO.

 

Wow ! :D:pilotfly::thumbup:

Congrats to the new system. I can fully understand your excitement.

 

I´m very interested in the result, as my CPU is very close to yours and the GPU also is not that far away. I´m thinking about an upgrade by myself and also have the 9900KS in my focus. I´m runnig 3x27" WQHD displays which makes my mission difficult. My GPU already is at 99%, so I fear a CPU upgrade does not raise my FPS. Where is your GPU when running your actual config? I check this with MSI Afterburner.

The new system is complete. No overclock yet. :D

 

 

Old system:

CPU: I7-4770K (overclocked 4.5 GHz)

Cooler: Be quit dark rock

Mem: 24 GB DDR3 1600MHZ

GPU: RTX 2080 (overclocked 1950Mhz)

Ssd: samsung 860EVO

 

 

New system:

CPU: I9-9900KS (5.0 GHz)

Cooler: Corsair H150 Pro RGB

Mem: 32 GB DDR4 3200MHZ

GPU: RTX 2080 (overclocked 1950Mhz)

SSD: Samsung 970EVO.

 

 

First untweaked results with the HP Reverb.(VR is very heavy on your system)

 

 

I used the same mission in persian gulf on both PC's. (max settings)

 

 

old results > new results

 

 

on carrier:

35 FPS > 45 FPS

 

 

on air above sea:

45 FPS > 55 FPS

 

 

above heavy scenery:

29 FPS > 39 FPS

 

 

 

 

First results:

The new system is in DCS about 25% better results as the old one.

 

 

NB: In a other game that completely is optimized was the result about 35% better. Jumped from 130 FPS to 180 FPS.

 

 

Most differences was the much lower noise from fans in the computercase.

Much more speed on boot and loading DCS.

 

 

I'll hope this impressions will help anyone.

 

 

Now the waiting for the 2080TI Killer graphics card. :D

Great, thanks for sharing. This gives me an idea on what a CPU upgrade is capable to do. Do you have an idea what the usage of your GPU was before and after. This would be very helpful for me to take a decision on my upgrade plans.

Thanks again and much fun with your new rocket :smilewink:

 

 

P.S.: The HP Reverb also was on my list but a new CPU with Board and RAM AND a VR device will kill my wallet.

Well I can reccomend you the reverb heavy! It's a total different situation from screens, you won't regret this. The system you have is similar to my old system. You see things you've never seen before and worth any penny! :D And don't forget i have all the settings maxed out, so when you set your settings lower you have good FPS.

Hi Xoxen

I have almost the same spec’s so been sitting on the ‘upgrade fence’ for awhile now! Interested to see the difference/improvements.

Hi Bluethornton,

actually I´m investigating if a CPU upgrade will bring extra performance. I have some doubts about it as my GPU runs with 100% already. What I learned so far the GPU seems to be the bottleneck showing this high load. But a RTX 2080Ti is out of reach for me and with my very high resolution I need the VRAM of 11GB. That´s why I bought the GTX 1080Ti which gave me 25% performance gain over a GTX 1070 (which also ran at 100% load). Without answering this question I will hold my money a little longer. Saying this you shouldn´t expect something from my side too soon :smilewink:
