So this has drove me mad all weekend.! No VR headset its fine.
Latest Nvidia drivers installed,new DCS saved games folder, repair, clean, no overclocking software installed.Crash,crash crash.!
Something aint right,so I loaded up CPU-id to check my cpu,ram and video settings when running DCS with no VR.
My stock Inno 3D 1080Ti should run Core Frequency 1556 boost 1670.
DCS default 1898..!!!! way over boost by default.! I cant test another game as I've nothing else on my system, Youtube videos nothing comes close to that speed.
Re-loaded MSI Afterburner, made a profile to stick to default card settings max core 1670 VR runs perfect.!
Something in DCS is overclocking the card by default..?? I cant say for sure as I've no other games but this could be your DirectX backend error.
I ran a MSI Afterburner test/scan that maxed out at 1800 core.
This might help others who are getting the same error.?
