Conure Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hey guys, I'm on the verge of upgrading this system... Core i5 760 @ 3.4ghz 8gb DDR3 Ram GTX 660ti 2gb 128 OCZ SSD to having a core i5 2500k and OCing it to 4ghz. This is quite an expensive upgrade so I'd really want to see big returns...Is this worth it?

BigfootMSR Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I cant give you a concrete answer or throw numbers your way that would say your going to X improvement. I can tell you that you will see some improvement upgrading to a system like that, how much depends on what system you are upgrading from and a whole laundry list of other variables. My suggestion would be to search through the forums for FPS issues. A lot of folks post their system specs and average frame-rates. It might give you a clue. IMHO from what I have seen of several threads regarding this issue. 30-40fps is about average.

Jinja Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 No way... i5 3.4 to 4ghz is a total waste of money... You'll get little gains. Just get another 8gb ram and be done wit it! i7@3.5Ghz, ATI 5870, 16GB RAM, win7 64bit, TH2GO, Track-IR, 4screen pit, TM WArthog HOTAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCíng is still the way to get your FPS in ED´s products up, however it will pour with posts afterwards telling you that graphics has gain weight in the equation. Went from 3.6 to 4.4 Ghz, believe me: fps boost you can count on. The question is what`s next for DCS World: OC to 5 Ghz? Will the next version of DCS require you to oc your CPU?

Yeah I agree his fps will go up, but enough to justify the cost?

What is it worth to the OP? I also would not bother with an upgrade like that right now. Wait six months and see what DCS is like.

cichlidfan Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 What happens after 6 months? In six months I expect to have a better feel for how/if DCS is progressing and what kind of hardware changes makes sense.

Rusty_M Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I don't think that upgrade will bring you amazing improvements. I get a noticeable, but not huge framerate increase (sorry, I'm too lazy to go about testing it to give you numbers) by OC'ing my i7 950 from 3.06 to 4.0 GHz. It's an increase worth doing the OCing for, but not worth spending money on IMO. The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
