From 14900K to AMD 9950X3D Is Lack Luster

[The_Cokester]

I want to start this off by saying the 9950X3D has been a performance uplift in other games and general productivity but I was very disappointed to find out that DCS just cant take advantage of the new tech.

Before the upgrade I would be pinned at 90FPS with high settings using quad views. MSAA X4.

Now, with the same settings i cant get more that 40FPS. I have to use DLSS and knock the resolution in Pimax Play way down along with aggressive settings in quad views.

When gaming in DCS I use process lasso to put DCS on the CCD 0 for the V-Cache and that works well but one of the things I notice is none of the cores go above 4Ghz. I just feel like the 9950X3D is not being pushed at all and I am leaving alot of performance on the table.

Anyone got any ideas?

Why MSAAx4 and not DLAA? DLAA looks way better  

Also - Process lasso… I know some people use it. I never have. For me it just adds another layer of confusion. And most importantly- I don’t need it in DCS.

I use full resolution in Pimax Play. Yes. And that is for the Crystal Super that has way higher resolution than you OG Crystal. And  Quadviews not very aggressive I would say. And I get over 72 fps stable, probably closer to 90. so I have set my Crystal Super to 72hz refresh rate - and it is very smooth that way. 

I have AMD 9950X3D and a RTX 5090. Not sure why you get so low performance. 
 

MY advice: follow the instructions in this video. That’s what I did:

I will follow this. I just used the settings from the 14900k which ran just fine.

I would think MSAA, DLSS and resolution settings are GPU related and have less to do with whatever CPU you are using.
