mdnd Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Just upgraded my video card from a Asus GTX 275 with 875 meg vram to a Asus overclocked 660ti with 3 gig vram. No improvement in frame rate at all with DCS. Was not real surprised since I read the forums and knew DCS is CPU bound. Just a heads up for anyone looking to improve frame rates. On a positive note my win7 video performance went from 7.3 to 7.9. Best $250 I ever spent.:pilotfly:
metalnwood Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 It needs to be put in context of what your CPU is. I have put in better cards and got definite improvements but the CPU was also at the top end before the gpu upgrade.
mdnd Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 Cpu is a I7-860 at 2.8 with a asus p5 motherboard. Its a good setup for overclocking from what I read. At my age I am just not into that stuff. In my time overclocking meant dual 4 barrel carbs.

metalnwood Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Cpu is a I7-860 at 2.8 with a asus p5 motherboard. Its a good setup for overclocking from what I read. At my age I am just not into that stuff. In my time overclocking meant dual 4 barrel carbs. I mention it because a lot of newer cpus will run at 3.2, 3.4 and turbo boost will take them to around 3.8. A lot of people will easily over clock them to 4.5, some higher, some might only use the built in overclock tools and only take it to ~ 4.2. For these guys an upgrade in gpu can mean an upgrade in frame rates and spending the money can be worthwhile.
