Here is a chance to do some high end benchmarks

[Hammer1-1]

As per sig, I am upgrading to a new chassis, motherboard, ram, cpu, power supply...the previous setup is still a beast, but its an outdated beast nonetheless. 3DMark still has it listed as top 10% in the world when it comes to gaming, so its definitely no slouch for being almost 5 years old. Would it help anyone to do some high end benchmarks while I build this computer? Its going to take me possibly all week to get this computer built; I have all of the maps, all of the aircraft, maps, all the missions and campaigns. Obviously I dont have time to do the campaigns, but I can run a user built scenario specifically designed to benchmark (providing anyone has something they designed that can be used to bench). Here are the old vs new specs:

Old

• Intel 8086k @ 5.2ghz (5.4 max)
• Asus Maximus X Formula z370
• 128gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz Gskill Trident @ XMP profiled speed
• Western Digital BLK M2 NVMe @ 3500MB/s

New

• Intel 13900 (min speed @ 5.8ghz, will attempt over 6ghz)
• Asus Maximus z790 Hero
• 64gb DDR5 @ 6000mhz Gskill Trident Z
• WD BLK M2 NVMe

Obviously its a few generations behind, but it can get some highlights of how much of a bottleneck PCI-3.0 is with a 4.0 compatible graphics card plus how beneficial clock speed can possibly be when compared to older generation high clocked CPU's.

If there's any interest in the poll, Ill go ahead and run some benchmarks chosen by the community: take your pick of the aircraft, terrain...only thing I would ask is if someone can provide a benchmark mission to run.  There are still a lot of things I need to do to finish this new build. Working until 2am doesnt really help my time, but I might just go a full water cooling loop instead of an AIW, plus I might get a 1200w psu instead of the 1000w I have replacing my current one. Should be done by the weekend if I go with the AIW. This is specifically to be a DCS World benchmark, maybe 3DMark & nothing else.
