doublejj0305 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I just joined the forums and thought I would share my setup... After reading the reviews for the A-10C Sim I'm stepping away from driving games and giving this a try. Definitely a huge learning curve from what I'm use to but I'm enjoying the challenge! Anyways here's the setup i7 920 Overclocked 5870 ATI (AMD) Eyefinity 5x1 portrait (6000x1920) 6GB Ram 2 Ipads Ist Gen running Icontrol DCS (AWESOME APP!!!) Thrustmaster A-10C HOTAS TrackIR 5 TV above is for that (not connected to the system) This seems like a great community and find myself reading threads multiple times a day attempting to get this hang of this game. Thanks for all the help so far! 1
Mr_Burns Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Nice, love the Man Cave lights! May I be the first to welcome you, unless someone bumped me whilst i am writing. Really nice setup and a good change from driving to flying IMO! Welcome on board! 1

doublejj0305 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Posted June 26, 2011 Nice pit, what kind of FPS do you get? Getting around 30-35 FPS with settings on medium for the most part.
98abaile Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 That setup is probably worth considerably (at least 15 times) more than my car.
Succellus Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Nice pit!! I sometime wondered about a lot of small monitors like you did, but i though it wouldn t be viable. You prove me wrong! What video card setup you use on this beast ? HaF 922, Asus rampage extreme 3 gene, I7 950 with Noctua D14, MSI gtx 460 hawk, G skill 1600 8gb, 1.5 giga samsung HD.

HitchHikingFlatlander Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Impressive, most impressive. As for the car statement 98abaile depends on what kind of car you have. I have a BMX bike that's worth roughly 4 cars but I have a penchant for $500 beater-mobiles! http://dcs-mercenaries.com/ USA Squad
Mr_Burns Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Hey would you give a heads up on eyefinity, ive been reading sites and cant work it out. Im remote right now so excuse me if the number is wrong but im pricing my new rig with a 2GB ati 6970 but I dont think I can afford the DP input ??? 'monitors'. So im thinking just use the card to run 4 monitors from the available DVI / VGA or HDMI slots without the new DP??? But in future, DP monitors are the future. Could you give a run down on eyefinity, the adaptors and software setup you have experienced? Thanks
doublejj0305 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 My card has 6 DP outputs. I believe I can use adapters on two of them to change to HDMI or DVI. The monitors I use all have display port on them so I don't need to use the adapters. I know they do make "active" display port adapters that convert to HDMI. A lot is change with display port. once they release display port 1.2 you should only need one display port out from the card and should be able to daisy chain all the monitors together. I'm not sure where they are at on the progress of that but it seems like a cool idea. I believe you are right with display port being the future so I would suggest getting those monitors instead of using unrealiable adapters. The 5x1 portrait are using old drivers from December of 2010. AMD has not released any drivers since. They seem to work fine on this game but have had issues with others. At this point it's plug and play with no real difficulty getting it to work in the game. I run no other software.
Succellus Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Humm unless monitor increase in size and price drop (at least in my country where a 27" monitor 1900 is the price of a 37" TV 1900) their dead. You got led TV with 2.4 ml seconds 1900X1080. If TV def get higher, then why the hell would you bother with 20 screen, assuming your not using your pc for work only. If your not on the gfx/imaging bizz a laptop is the way to go to work nowadays some of them have 17" screen.

USAF77 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I'd love a awsome pit someday. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Lead, Follow, or get out of the way"
