Wow

I upgraded my HD6770 to a GTX 770 ( + i72600@3.5ghz ) two days ago, and I can tell you that before, I had troubles going above 60 FPS. Now my problem is trying to get it below 70 :). In short, GPU upgrades are definitely worth it.

[SkateZilla]

well, I hope you see a difference

A HD6770 is a Entry Level GPU using a 2 Generations Old Architecture.

Where as a GTX770 is a high End Gaming GPU using a Revamped Architecture

 

Going by the Heiracrchy chart, GTX 770 is Tier 4, HD6770 is Tier 11

 

 

Going from Any Entry Level GPU to a High End GPU is like moving from a 2 Stroke Scooter to a V8 Camaro.

God job! Now you can enjoy DCSW the way was meant to be! :thumbup: Now if someone can post an upgrade like yours just still staying with a AMD 8350. Would have been great to see how much the CPU does for DCSW. But a tip do OC that 2600K. It's alot more in it than 3.5 Ghz.

 

EDIT: Ops its just a 2600 maybe? If so i have on my other PC a 2600 which i raised the BLCLOCK to 102.7 Mhz and gives me astable 4 Ghz. Try it!

Interesting choice with the FX chips. Tom's Hardware never recommends AMD FX chips for gaming.

 

You use your computer for work/rendering also?

I Use my Rig for:

Eyefinity Gaming,

3D Graphics/Rendering,

Photo Graphics Editing and Rendering

Video Editing (1080p and 4K)

Audio Editing (Music and Special Effects)

 

None of which are single threaded, and make full use of all 8 integer cores, as well as Direct Compute from my GPU

Yes it is just a 2600 unfortunately, not the K version :(. But it still runs great.

Yes, i know by your sig, but i was thinking about a GTX card to see if there is any much difference in DCSW between AMD and Intel when the GC is almost top of the line. Got to be sure that there is no bottleneck at the GPU side at all.

@Jazjar, Well, An i7 is an i7 any way you look at. Overclocked or not, your 2600 is still powerful as hell. My old Desktop, about... 2008'ish I think? Can still chug along with a i7-920 just as well as my new Desktop can.

Yes, Intel's higher IPC / Single Core Performance helps DCS.

That was my point. Figured you must be doing things other than gaming with that chip.

What about when EDGE is released? Won't that allow for multithreading (one for graphics, one for physics)? That's my understanding anyway. Could be wrong.

I don't recall any dev stating that EDGE would include multi-threading. Keep in mind, also, that EDGE will not be in use if you are running the current map.

My GTX570 runs DCS like a charm, it remains to be seen when EDGE enters the scene though.
