VR on Sandy Bridge without Spectre/Meltdown protections


Recommended Posts

Last night, I came to idea to try DCS in VR without Spectre and Meltdown protections (which have big impact on older CPUs, like 2500K). I downloaded the latest InSpectre tool, disabled both protections, restarted and for my surprise the gain was huge.

 

I did not have time to make measurements, but the feel is for almost 30-40% more FPS.

Ryzen 5900X (Water), 64GB DDR4@3600CL16, RTX 3090 (Water), U4021QW, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, 2x1000GB RAID 1, 2000GB,

I doubt it would be that significant for me since I already run 60-100fps depending, but I'm glad to know that stuff is optional =) I hate when people jack with my computer against my will.

Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти.

Yeah, I'm not surprised by that improvment.

 

It all depends on what you use your machine for though. If its not really online aside from DCS, you are pretty safe.
