Currently I have an HP Omen with an i9 10900 K, and a 4090, DCS runs decent in VR.

Want to retire this PC and make my working PC use a 2080Ti and keep the 4090 for my gaming PC.

Which would be the best Intel processor /motherboard combo for DCS?

why intel and not 7800x3d?

This would be my move at this point.

 

Alternatively if sticking with Intel - 13xxx CPU with DDR4 board and rob the DDR4 out of your current system for an upgrade on the cheap.  Guessing if you have a 4090 money isn't a big concern though 😀

Because 14 cores vs 8 cores? Or does that not matter? I'm curious now that we have MT whether the number of cores on a chip has an impact on performance, or not? It would be interesting to see a comparison in DCS of two systems running these different CPUs but otherwise the same RAM, GPUs etc.

Good question.  From the MT FAQ:

What is the maximum number of threads the game can utilize?
About half of P-cores are dedicated for the graphics needs. Currently the rendering pool scales up to 16 threads on P-cores (1 core = 2 threads). The other P-cores are used by the main logic thread, sound engine threads, and the auxiliary thread pool that occupy all available space. E-cores are used only by the resources streaming pool that has no limits (1 core = 1 thread).

 

Intel E cores vs AMD L3 cache

^ Well, judging from some posts in the MT bugs section, right now the weaker E-cores seem to be the ones doing the work, while stronger P-cores don't seem to be doing much, if anything. Clearly not intended behaviour and I'm sure ED are on it, but I wouldn't be in hurry to buy a new CPU until they've got it sorted.

Got a brand new Acer Intel Desktop for 1700€ on my bench to fix heat issues, it hits 95°C when playing some games.

Think twice before you buy Intel's Nuclear Reactor Die.

I now gotta find a cooler that fits into this tiny case and still cools better than Intel's standard cooler.... 

I dislike AMD's standard coolers as well but they dont get that hot with those. 95°C is THAT far from shutting off...LoL Intel.
