I got the RAM warning on my gaming rig as well. Dual channel is on. Mainly it’s because the result was low and they suggest XMP, as it seems they don’t split XMP and non-XMP users apart so you look worse by comparison, which is not necessarily fair.
I never got XMP to run stable on my rig.

for most of the settings he is below 60FPS on res 2560x1440, thats baaad, maybe really the drivers are lacking still… or it will perform better in 4K… I dont know
All the videos I have seen and from personal experience the 3090 is no upgrade in xp11. I get similar fps at high settings as I did with the 1080
Strange, and disappointing. Hope they get it sorted. When XP-11 got Vulkan I could finally play in VR on my 1080. Would have thought it would scale better.

is it pancake or VR? if pancake what resolution? thx
Vr I will Check 2d and report back
as mentioned somewhere, XP and DCS both are running on old graphic engines, so maybe there is that
Both computers arrived today…! I managed to secret them away before the kids could see them (I intercepted the UPS driver in the driveway). I know what I’ll be doing all day on Christmas afternoon (installing software…)…

Pre-download everything now.
For quicker windows updates - at least turn on the infinite cache age mentioned here on your PC.
Ensure under Windows update, advanced: get other MS updates = yes.
Delivery Optimization should be LAN only, usually default.
Then just keep doing your updates and they’ll be kept in cache for when you start on those two.

Set up your steam library as a network share.
Then start the download on their PCs, pause it and then just copy the files from your PC. Get the downloads at LAN speed instead! Run a verification and carry on.

If you plan on putting extra drives in those PC’s get an external drive dock and pre-load them. Drive docks are also handy to recover data off a crashed system’s drives via a working machine so a handy tool to have when you are maintaining multiple computers. I have a dual drive one for SATA drives and recently bought a ROG STRIX Arion for NVMe drive work.
Spend more time at Christmas enjoying it!

My problem is that the kids are home 100% of the time pretty much. And our house is pretty small, so I don’t really have an “off limits” room to do something like that. They are only in school two days a week…one goes Mon/Tues, the other goes Thur/Fri and they are both home Wednesday (COVID protocol). So I have nowhere to sneak the CPUs to to do the updates.
I might have to rig up some network cables to their rooms in a hacked way until I can get someone out to run legit CAT cables through the walls. At this point, I’m thinking of hiring someone to come do the whole house with real LAN wall outlets and professional installation.
Thank you for the suggestions…I’m so excited to turn those puppies on!

Oh I meant pre-download on your machine!
So much easier to run all the steam and other installers off a network share instead of having to browse to them all twice. You can download all the latest installers and have it all staged on your PC ready for deployment!
The steam suggestion is for launch-day, but should save some time.
