Hello lovely people, hope you're all well as can be expected and enjoying, er...dogging...er, as usual. Anyway, I thought I'd tell you about this; https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/ Now I don't actually use this myself at the moment. I'm still very much enamoured by MSFS2020 and all that limp-wristed civil aviation stuff. However, I do use frame generation, it's a selectable graphics option within the sim. This basically doubles my frame rates and it's just....astonishing. I still use my potato computer with it's ancient CPU and a not-so-state-of-the-art RTX2070 graphics card. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/adventures-in-msfs2020-with-my-thirteen-year-old-cpu/629757 Now to use frame generation in MSFS you need an Nvidia 40 series card. As you can see, I don't have one of these so I use a mod that fools MSFS into thinking I do have one. I normally consider all this sort of stuff as a pitch by a snake-oil salesman and ignore it but this works really, really well. You really do go from thirty frames per second to sixty. So; the link to Steam that I've posted above about lossless scaling is another way of doubling frames. it has certain limits such as only working in windowed mode but it's very much worth reading up about to make sure anyone who wants to use it fully understands what it does. Unlike the mod I use - this thing works with ALL graphics cards and in DX11 or 12 and Vulcan, etc. So I thought, if you're struggling with an older graphics card in the monster that is DCS and were willing to punt a few of our great British pounds, this then might be worth a try. Here's a link to it on Avsim too so you can see what the punters there are making of it.... https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/645513-a-miracle-lsfg-lossless-scaling-frame-generation/ In the meantime, here at chez Arthur all these exciting looking boxes turned up today.....

All done and running ..... mostly. It doesn't like some old USB devices, changing ports helped with the head tracking camera. And then the same ..change ports again and working again. Plus my X52 is acting up too... The cooling mods help, it runs .5 deg cooler with the case closed up. Air filter box below blends right in. I bought a display panel for inside the case(bottom left) to display temps etc but I'm having some trouble figuring out the display program. Final parts list. Hmm. The video card is listed here much more than the $879 that I paid for it only a few weeks ago.
