![]() ![]() What the "Maximum Performance" does is making your GPU force/increase a higher power state (as to not downclock as often). Power Management Mode: I'd actually recommend against "Maximum Performance" if you have a very hot power hungry Nvidia GPU model (1080Ti, 2080Ti, 3080/Ti/3090, etc). This is a really, really old guide but one that users here may find worth reading, as most explanations there still apply today (if biased towards personal opinion of the author), even though the GPUs are way(!!) more potent today if compared to those at the time it was written: I'd say better leave those at default settings, though of course that is open to personal preference. It was the case before DCS adopted EDGE graphics engine (prior to 2015, when that setting made sense for it) but not anymore or since.ĪA Gamma Correction at "OFF", Texture Filtering Quality at "Performance" and Negative Lod Bias at "Clamp", are of negligible effect (if any, at all) in performance for DCS, likely at detrimental cost of image quality. ![]() Something that is only welcome for games that are very old and/or really CPU limited (with the GPU very underutilized), when a few stutters and drops happen for that reason, not being demanding enough for the graphics card to be in the highest power state (just on the threshold of 60 fps in the lower states). "Optimal Performance" is the prefered/recommended option (and why is set by default) for graphics intensive games, which as of today includes DCS World. Power Management Mode: I'd recommend against "Maximum Performance", especially if with a very hot power hungry Nvidia GPU model (1080Ti, 2080Ti, 3080/Ti/3090, etc). Just a heads up regarding some of those settings. here are screen shots in case it helps anyone. i went through my specific DCS settings and made the changes to match what i could. i went through settings video, and even some shown were different. Still works, runs a machine for digitizing VHS tapes.īut i never had any inclination to run any CPU over 33Mhz without a heatsink attached to it, even my DX2/66s always had heatsink and fan attached.I noticed that when i updated my drivers to 511.23, there were some settings differences. K6/2? i remember them fine, i have 2 of them here that have been running for the last 23 years or so.Īnd yes i remember the 1st gen athlons, though it took more than 2 seconds, but yes they did not have internal temp failsafes, i have a 1.2ghz thunderbird of that type Yes, but why go full eco friendly, i'm just trying to stay within the realm of what the AC can get rid of LOL Max TDP for the 7950 is 65W: for the 7950X its 170W!Īlthough I have always bought Intel rather than AMD CPUs (remember the K6/2 anyone - or the Athlon that would destroy itself in around 2 seconds if the heatsink was removed, whereas the equivalent Intel P4 simply throttled back to around 30C when the heatsink was removed), the ridiculous power demand for the latest 13th generation of Intel chips is just atronomical and quite frankly off-putting. You'd have saved another 100 watts if you'd gone for the Ryrather than the overclockable 7950X. So I figured, time to update and why not provision a beast rather than bare bones because who knows how this great community with evolve in another 5 years.perhaps this time I planned wisely where the current PC will keep upĮdited by ScoobaSteveo, 02 March 2023 - 05:54 PM. ![]() Fundamentally, the original PC did not provide smooth game play with some VPX tables and definitely did not keep up with Pinup Popper videos. I used PinballX for the frontend and most of the tables were either VP8 or VP9. I am also planning to test how other console-based emulators play on my set up and I did not want the PC to be a limitation.Įdit: My cab is 5+ years old and the original PC was provisioned with a "bare bones" approach. To head off more, " Good Lord, WHY!?!?" type of comments, I play a few Steam on-rail shooters with a set of light guns on my cab. That is a reasonable reply, my friend.įWIW, I provisioned the PC with an Intel Core i7-12700KF processor. It ought to be super smooth with that beast, as long as your processor is sufficiently powerful. ![]() The term "shooting sparrows with a cannon" comes to mind I just built a new PC with an Nvidia RTX-3080 Ti ![]()
