Now getting better results.

Fellow pilots,

For a while, I was getting CPU spikes in game, some of them bad causing FPS to hit the single digits.

My old mobo and bulldozer processor has done very well, paired with a GTX 1080, at just about everything I throw at it, however; DCS was more than it could handle so I bit the bullet and decided to build a new rig.

Asrock x870 Pro RS mobo.

Ryzen 5 7600 cpu.

6600Mhz DDR5 32g ram.

Gen4 NVME at 4TB.

Windows 11

and for now, my GTX 1080 graphics card.

What a huge improvement.

No more CPU bound spikes with graphic settings on high in most cases, getting smooth 50-60 fps.

I hope this helps.

Update:

I removed my 1080 and replaced it with a Gigabyte 4080 Super. Maxed out the graphics, with FPS limit at 80 on a 1440 monitor.

I can fly at 80fps and when things get harry, fps will briefly drop to the 60-70’s.

Way better and more fun.

The maps look so much better, in fact, all things look so much better.

Speeling air-or and update.

It still blows my mind how under rated the old 1080 cards were.  I moved on from it a while ago, but it always amazed me when people with (theoretically) better cards were complaining about performance a lot worse than I had.
