Shortcut Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I running an 8700K @ 5.2ghz with 32gb of 3200 DDR4 ram and a Evga 1080ti along with a first gen Reverb head set. I would like to get DCS smother in VR. What would be by best upgrade option? Upgrading my CPU or Going from the 1080ti to a 3080 or a 3080ti? Is the 3080ti worth it over the 3080? Would getting a Reverb G2 make an improvement I can give my G1 to my Grandson? 13700K, MSI Z690 D4 Edge wifi, Swiftech H360X3 Cooling with Corsair Water Block, Gigabyte 4090 OC, 64gb Trident Z 3600 CL16, Evga 850W G2 power supply, Moza AB9, Virpil Apha Prime, Winwing Orion 2 Viper, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswinds With Damper, TrackIR 5, HP Reverb 2, Pimax Crystal

The 3080 Ti would give you more Vram than the 3080 which DCS likes. 2 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero|
C3PO Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Yes - in VR it seems to be about VRAM with DCS…go with as much as you can (with nVidia ) Now: Water-cooled Ryzen 5800X + 64GB DDR 4 3600 (running at 3200) RAM + EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra 24 GB + Pimax Crystal Light + Add-on PCI-e 3.1 card + 2x1TB Corsair M.2 4900/4200 + TM HOTAS Warthog + TM TPR Pendular Rudder 'Engaged Defensive' YouTube Channel Modules: F/A-18C / AV-8B / F-16 / F-15E / F-4E / Persian Gulf / Syria / Nevada / Sinai / South Atlantic / Afghanistan / Iraq Backup: Water-cooled i7 6700K @ 4.5GHz + 32GB DDR4 3200MHz + GTX 1080 8GB + 1TB M.2 1k drive & 4K 40" monitor + TrackIR
SparkyTX76 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I would also consider moving your pixel density slider to somewhere between 1.0 and 1.5... Get a good base, then tweak as necessary. I run a 2070 Super and 1.3 is about perfect for me...
Shortcut Posted June 23, 2021 Author Posted June 23, 2021 Now the hard part finding a 3080ti. I put my name on Evga's list for a 3080ti FTW3 and a 380 FTW3 only 2gb difference don't know how much hat will hurt performance my biggest question is it worth it 889.99 for the 3080 and 1399.99 for the 3080ti . My 1080ti FTW has served me well. I run the pixel density at 1.0 and it's smooth with a slight mini freeze once in he while and I would like go move the sliders higher. 13700K, MSI Z690 D4 Edge wifi, Swiftech H360X3 Cooling with Corsair Water Block, Gigabyte 4090 OC, 64gb Trident Z 3600 CL16, Evga 850W G2 power supply, Moza AB9, Virpil Apha Prime, Winwing Orion 2 Viper, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswinds With Damper, TrackIR 5, HP Reverb 2, Pimax Crystal

Good luck with the EVGA waiting list for the FTW3. I've been on there since early November of 2020 for the 3090 FTW3 and still haven't heard anything.

I suspect at first pass it wont however, ED has been pretty good at finding tweaks in various elements of their platform that make small gains over time. While it’s a different API, another well known civilian sim was recently upgraded to DX12. It was previously unplayable and now, I get a smooth 45FPS which as I understand it translates to 90 FPS when motion smoothing is on. Cost of new equipment $0.
