Curiosity has gotten the best of me!

I'm just curious, has anybody been able to build a computer powerful enough that it DOESN'T get the "CPU Bound" message?

In 2D, easily. In VR, I doubt it: even my 9800X3D is 100% “CPU bound: rendering thread”.

Most likely there’s nothing we can do about that until we get Vulkan - and a decently advanced implementation at that.

Use a (very) low budget GPU and you're not CPU bound

I should have qualified my question a bit. In 2D i'm getting 130FPS out of my 4090 and the CPU is just lopping along. When I go VR I'm down to the mid 70s and I get the message. It's pretty good and I'm not complaining, but I was curious to see if there was a machine that could do it.

It's a fresh install of Win 11 so I think I'll start looking for the crap that MS installs by default and remove or at least shut it down in order to get some CPU cycles back.

70 fps...per eye...  Remember that for VR 2 sightly different frames are needed

Look up Win11 Debloater on Github.

I’m GPU limited with the system below running a 4K monitor at 120Hz

There’s also Revo Uninstaller you can use to uninstall everything you don’t need, even Windows components. Jayz2Cents made a good video about it a while back.

It will help, but not make a massive difference as to suddenly close the gap between 2D and VR.

It’s impressive what ED has done with DX11 to make DCS VR run so well as it does, but in the end there’s only so much one can do until we get the updated engine.

Yeah, that's also a good one. Jay made a video of the Debloater for Win10 back in the days, and it really made speed/response difference on an old laptop.
