You can be my Wingman anytime. 

Of course, I will fly the F-5E and give you a run for your money :D

What are your specs on the new machine?

[Caesar 305]

7700K (Boost to 4.5GHz), 32GB DDR4, 1080Ti, 500GB SSD, 8TB spindle. The spindle drive is probably the biggest bottleneck.

You will see a huge increase in performance if you get an SSD for your DCS install. Your specs look good, mine are in the signature block.

Yeah, it runs the game perfectly fine with everything maxed out save for the load times and sometimes first bandit appearance.  Once the fight's on, even with heavy numbers of aircraft I don't notice any hiccups.  I just didn't want to eat up my SSD space too much so I put it on the main HDD.

 

Cool to see you went with a Threadripper.  I had considered it when building this machine, but at that time the 7700K was still chewing up games at a much lower price.  Not as future proof, to be certain!
