Aluminum Donkey Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Greetings, I just bought a new Aorus Elite B550 motherboard with a new Ryzen 7 5800X processor (8C, 16T) and 32GB of DDR4 3600 MHz RAM to replace my aging i5-6600K Z170-based system. I reused my existing RTX 3070 card which I've had for almost a year. Man oh man does it run just brilliantly! I run at my monitor's 75 Hz refresh rate with G-Sync and VSync on, and it's 100% stutter-free and I don't even need DLSS! Just MSAA 4x and that's it. I'm running at all MAX settings except for View Distance which is set to Ultra instead of Extreme. I get butter-smooth 75 FPS all the time now, and butter-smooth 60-65ish FPS with mirrors on at 1024 full refresh rate! I don't even have to run my new CPU at full speed, 4.0 GHz on all 8 cores at 1.0V is fine and it's a breeze to cool with my existing old cooler (Hyper 212 EVO.) It looks like DCS 2.9 is living up to the hype, it definitely runs like it should now. Bring on the Vulkan API version now Awesomeness!
