  1. Thanks @Skiiwee29 @Tamesh16 @Brok3n But who cares? @camieabz for the responses. I suppose the sim is just very intensive indeed! I hadn't really considered my GPU being so old by now. It was a pricey investment when it was launched 3 years ago and since I primarily use this only for flight simming I struggle to justify renewing a card every couple of years when that's its only purpose. But I guess it may be showing its age already on such a new and intense application!
  2. Hi guys, I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on what is holding back my frames in the following scenarios. I am using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 so be aware this is not another '4K 144Hz' application you might all be used to. I'm running at 1080p and have the following specs: - Intel Core i7-10700K - stock 3.8 GHz, always boosts to 4.8 GHz - 32 GB RAM @ 2400 MHz - NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti running at 2063 MHz (VRAM not overclocked) - 850W PSU Temperatures don't seem to be an issue here with the GPU reaching a maximum 70c and CPU 55c. I understand my RAM is slow and this may be a factor. The 2 situations are as follows, external/outside view and cockpit view. The issue is primarily in intensive glass cockpit display airliners. Here's the average results I have noted: External views: GPU usage 100% CPU usage 35% RAM usage 55% ~17GB VRAM usage 62% Frames: 40-55fps Internal Cockpit view: GPU usage 55-65% CPU usage 60% RAM usage 55% ~17 GB VRAM usage 60-90% (Typically more towards 60%. In one case this was nearly fully utilised, location dependant) Frames: 35fps I can see in the external view that clearly the GPU is being fully utilised and therefore the bottleneck. However, with the cockpit view, most of these processes are averaging 60% usage. Sometimes the VRAM usage is high, but the majority of the time it is also around 60-70% utilisation. So what exactly is holding back the frames in cockpit view? Do you think it could be the slower RAM speed? Would overclocking my VRAM make a significant difference? Thanks in advance.
  3. I have at the moment but I don't have as wide of a control over the range then. Just wondering if there was some Windows setting for this.
  4. Finished a new build and new install of Windows 10, but I am finding my speakers are now too loud in the lower volume ranges. For example, my speakers physical dial is always left on maximum, but I am finding volume 2 and 4 on Windows settings sufficent for YouTube, and 6-10 for gaming when my fans are louder. Sometimes the lowest option 2 isn't quiet enough. It wasn't this bad in my previous build (using the same speakers and audio jack). Is there anyway to edit this kind of thing in settings? Perhaps reducing the maximum volume so that I see more of a difference using the volume slider? Thanks
  5. Quick question, and I'm pretty sure this would be fine but I'd rather make sure first. I have done a clean install of Windows on a new drive from a USB stick. Now that everything is up and running, can I plug in the USB stick to wipe it and use it as a normal drive again under the presumption it won't attempt to automatically install windows again when I plug it in? Thanks.
  6. Could anyone please help if these would be compatible?
  7. Current CPU is an i5-6600 locked. RAM is at 2133 MHz. Haven't really considered Ryzen too much but to run the flight simulation I require I have read good remarks over intel systems
  8. Hi guys, I am potentially looking at upgrading my Motherboard, CPU and AIO cooler. I do not really want to change my RAM if possible. Looking for some advice if there would be any compatibility issues with this upgrade. The new components would be: Z490 gaming motherboard Intel i7-10700KF Corsair H100i liquid cooler The RAM I currently have is 32GB of Kingston Hyper X Fury DDR4. This would be paired with my Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti. Would there be any compatibility issues with these components? And would anyone suggest the 10700K rather than the KF just in case there is ever a GPU issue meaning I would need to temporarily use the integrated graphics? Thanks in advance
  9. These sweeping statements are very dependent on usage, you can't just presume the OP is going to be playing standard AAA games. In the advanced flight simulators that I use, not even a 1080ti can get you over 60fps in some scenes. There isn't actually any GPU that can fully handle the simulation at present. The whole '1070 or more is overkill for 1080p' stigma on this forum can be misleading..
  10. This really is a sweeping statement. While mainstream games follow the general trend of “1070 is good for 1440p”, most people who post this haven’t ventured outside of the mainstream market. My 1070Ti pulls in only 30fps in some areas on a 1080p realistic flight simulation setting.
  11. @Bajantechnician If you have an ICX card then in Precision XOC there should be a HW Monitoring or HWM icon on the side of the app, do you have that? That opens the diagram of the card and shows all 9 sensors
  12. EVGA ICX technology has 9 thermal sensors, more than any other GPU. It’s 3 visual temperature icons on the face of the GPU I think you meant. One each for GPU, power and memory, which change colour as temperature increases. In the Precision X application you can view the 9 sensors across either side of the card. I’d totally recommend the FTW3. The visuals of this are amazing since you can view the temperatures of the card with a quick glance, and individual fan control! But in terms of performance, both STRIX and FTW3 are the best consumer 1080Ti’s around (excluding Kingpin which isn’t common for average gamers).
  13. The 1070 Ti is nearly on par with the 1080, it’s no where near the 1070 out of the 2. That’s why NVIDIA blocked factory overclocks because they knew how similar the overclocked 1070 Ti’s would be to the 1080. 1070 - 1920 Cuda cores 1070 Ti - 2432 Cuda cores 1080 - 2560 Cuda cores
  14. 1070 Ti is not allowed to be factory overclocked for a reason, because NVIDIA don't want it overtaking the 1080. So it's fair to say they are nearly on par performance despite slight percentage difference, hence this limitation of no out-of-the-box overclocks
