Please Help!!!!!!! Frame rates

[dawestsides]

No offence meant to anybody here, but I think your coming to the wrong place for overclocking advice. Before you even touch your bios, you should hit SEVERAL dedicated OC sites and do some research. I've seen alot of bunk advice thrown around on game forums (none that I noticed in this thread), I even saw someone tell someone else to not bother running any anti-virus at all - on these boards too.

You have expensive stuff there, I would hate to see it messed up because of bad advice. Besides, if someone here knows what they are doing- they probably frequent a dedicated oc site.

And dont forget the #1 rule : If you don't know what it does, don't **** with it.

 

Offence # 1 : I refered many times to the OC section of EVGA where the top world overclokers are giving advices to beginners like me...

 

OC'ing isn't that difficult.

 

This is a very good guide for dummies that will take you step by step to higher frequencies:

Go slowly and watch your temps

 

 

Offence # 2 : I told sshant to read again and again guides and to fully understand what he's doing and why.

 

-Read again and again Shansmi's guide,it's the best one I've found for i7.

 

 

Just kidding,no offence at all. :thumbup:

 

We're just trying to help sshant to get the best from his hardware....

Thanks for the concern darthelvis but i read alot of OC dedicated forums, websites and manual.

BTW Im stuck between TRUE and xigmaitek Thors hammer

[dawestsides]

True.

First of all, turn the hyperthreading off. It's useless Intel feature, unless an application is coded to use it. I don't really know such an application... Then use DcsMax to spread load over all cores. You'll see performance boost...

i have a new rig i7 920 @ 4ghz

i have a new rig i7 920 @ 4 ghz

6 gb corsair ddr3

rampage 2 extreme motherboard

xfx 5870

pioneer blue ray

velociraptor's x 2 total 600 gb

 

running on a 22inch monitor at 1680 x 1050, all settings up max, water, visibility and the like

 

in CCC everything up max aswell

 

frame rates range from 20-70 depending on whats going on, affinity set to all 8 cores and the like. wasnt expecting mind numbing FPS when i built new computer for this game anyway

I find a program that shuts down background processes a boost for FPS since many of them use CPU resources.

 

It's call "Game Booster" http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html

give it a try.

Thanks for the link Sarge55!

 

Did some research and was able to double framerates, decrease CPU usage, and increase visual quality. Check observations here

Yes indeed a neat little app.. thx Sarge55

Also check out: Advanced System Care.. Made by the same mob & also free.:)

Maybe you need more RAM? Just kidding ;)

Try disabling antialiasing and vertical sync, set water detail to medium, try Windows7 X64, overclock your CPU. thats all i can suggest.

 

I think the bottleneck in your system is CPU which running too slow for DCS. Im getting much better framerate with my old good Core2Duo E8400 (3GHz default) O/C'd to 4GHz. each 1 GHz = at least 10-15 fps boost, so getting such speed you should be fine.

 

O/C-ing is not so difficult thing, you just have to find correct voltage for your processor frequency, and set correct divider for RAM. For example my settings are 445 (FSB) x9 (multipler) = 4000 MHz, CPU voltage 1.46875 and divider set to 2,4 what result 1066 MHz for my memory (445 MHz x 2.4 = 1068 MHz).

 

Just try, this is not so easy to damage/burn your CPU, and results may be suprising. If you send me your system specs (default FSB, max multipler, RAM frequency etc.) maybe I could help you with overclicking.

 

good luck.

You're welcome.

 

Yes, ASC is handy for keeping your rig cleaned up and tuned especially for free. I like free.
