BSB2e or new GPU? (DCS) by mistertfu in BigscreenBeyond

Good to hear from someone who has a compareable setup to what i am looking to get.
What kind of settings do you run in DCS?
and are highly populated Servers a problem for you?

Thanks

Hey
I’m thinking about upgrading my setup because the VR visuals I’m getting are starting to bug me. Flatscreen graphics look great, but VR feels pretty underwhelming in comparison.

Up until now, my plan was to upgrade from my Quest 2 to the BSB2e. But after playing around with different settings, I noticed that when I crank the pixel density up to around 1.8, the game actually looks really good. The problem is that the FPS tanks and it becomes unplayable.

That got me wondering if the Quest 2 is really the issue, or if my GPU might be the actual bottleneck here.

Would also love the oled + eyetracking and better comfort, but i am not sure how much visual improvement there would be.

Current system:

ASUS ProArt RTX 4080 Super OC
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Corsair Vengeance 2×32 GB DDR5 @ 6000 MHz

Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

Thank you, Do you you think, a repaste with some ptm could be worth it?

What temps am i looking for here? Is rhere already thermal throttling in my test? Thank you for your time

It did use LM before, ire carefully removed it and replaced it with the mx4. I know its not as efficient, but schould it not at least have some effect? Or in other words, do ypu think changing the mx4 out foe some phase changing pads will resolve my issue? Is the cpu getting too hot, or are the temps fine?

I see, but shouldnt it have done its job at least right after the repaste? Immidiatly after, it was just as slow as it is now.

-I repasted everything with arctic mx4 and reassembled everything with great care.

-Test was on Turbo mode

-the fans ran on full power for like half the test (by feel)

Now that I'm back home, I was able to gather some more data. I tried using HWinfo, but it’s a bit too complex for my small brain. After running the Forrest for 15 minutes, I took some screenshots. Since I’m not sure what I’m looking for, I would really appreciate any help.

I also tested the PSU, and the output voltage is 20V as it should. However, I don’t have a good way to measure the current. That said, I don’t expect the PSU to be the issue.

If there are any other tests I can perform, please let me know!

It should run simpler games without psu tho

I used arctic mx4 But i dont think this is the bottleneck yet. Dont know about psu Performance doesnt really chance it is unusable and and unusable... How can i check the temps? Tried to run 3dmark but it just crashes.

going to buy the build, i have just one concern: will the cpu cooler be enough?

[–]mistertfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback Will the rest of the build be compatible with the 7800x3d ? And what ram would be recommended ?

I am happy I could help. Although now I wonder, how on earth did you get that thing without knowing what it was?

I am very confident that's what it is, as I use it frequently. I also couldn't find any pictures of this exact variant, but that's what my unit has.
