    I am contemplating adding a fresh install on my current W10 rig in dual boot. Through the last 5 years I messed around a lot with my applications (tried a bunch of software that probably left a lot of stuff even after cleanings), I changed hardware (systemboards, GPU's and CPU's) multiple times and the whole rig has been heavily tweaked without ever reinstalling OS. I do sometimes have weird performance degradation, which I can't fully diagnose and solve, which is the main reason for considering starting from scratch. So I want to put a second OS (either W10 or W11) in dual boot next to my current install on the same rig, start debloated from scratch and only install what I know I need and only make the permanent switch AFTER the second OS gives me better performance. Does anybody have any similar experience? Do I have to fully reinstall DCS or can I share folders and settings amongst the two Installs? What would be the best steps to take? Any insight is appreciated.

    Added a couple of tweaks, see OP. The 1%'s are improving further.

    Had a DCS crash the other day. Unsure if it was caused by not having a pagefile or overclock. Reenabled the Pagefile and will see. Ran my log through the DCS Log Analyzer on Discord, with the following feedback; Advice Disable Game Mode - Made no significant difference. Will keep trying. Disable HAGS - Has a big negative effect for me. Will keep it Enabled. Tuning Disable Civilian Traffic - Will keep it on, like the traffic. Enable Full Screen Mode - Enabled it but on my Ultrawide monitor it still stays in a borderless window in the middle of the screen.

    Very useful!

    In my case disabling HAGS reduces average FPS by about 7-10, the 1% lows get an even bigger hit. I would say test your game with and without HAGS. It can be different. Also close all the apps you are not using when playing DCS. To me that also makes a very big difference.

    I am not seeing that. My setup is pretty much stable for the moment. Also 1% lows and even .2 % is pretty close to the FPS. It took patience and a magnifying glass to find all the bad actors. I removed quite a lot of sources for stutter and latency. Take a look at my list, there might be something in there that is of some help. I had to step down a couple of drivers too. So don't always just go for the latest.

    Pretty stable as well at the moment.
  8. Ready
    Yes it does! It gives me about 1 FPS extra. Thanks.

    I updated the original post in this thread to include most of my tests and results. Some were eye-openers. I hope they will benefit others as well.

    Interesting! Will it do something for performance?

    Additional tweaks MSI Afterburner Disable ULPS - Ultra Low Power Settings Bios fTPM: Disabled SVM Mode: Disabled SMT control: Disabled Power Plans Processor Core Parking Min Cores: 100% Other: defragmented and optimized drives (regular task) Still further tweaking ahead, quite a list of items to go through. Both Windows Settings, drives and BIOS settings to further moderate interrupts and find out how to remove the high latency (mainly caused by WDF01000.sys, USB3 polling?)
  12. Ready
    Yes I read about W10 having lower latency than W11 in some cases. My thing is that I am pretty happy with my W10 after heavy tweaking and very much dreading the uphill fight to get a new W11 under control. I most probably am going to set up a dual boot and just put W11 besides my current stable install, see how they compare and then possibly ditch W10, if I can get W11 performing the same or better.
  13. Ready
    Nice, good it works!
  14. Ready
    I am still on W10, reaply on the fence and have not yet been convinced to move to W11. I also read about possibility of degradations and new issues.
  15. Ready
    Hehe well.. I hope there is something useful in there. Stuff I do does not always work for others, and sometimes also does not work for me

Please do not blindly follow my settings without reading up on it. YMMV. My settings changes are trial and error. I (most of the times) test performance between settings changes but sometimes kick myself in the head if I forgot and did a number of changes without testings in between.

    @actually_fred I checked the intial version of XRFrameTools v0.0.2. Great looking tool. I have some feedback on it if you like. Definitely something fishy going on with my system.. I see very big spikes when OBS is recording. When I put the focus on DCS and have XRFT running besides it I see lags/stutters in the XRFT Live Data. It pauses for a second or two and then displays the graph for a second or two, then it pauses again and repeats this cycle. When I make XRFT the active window it keeps running stable. First log is on Caucasus, Started with OBS recording ON, then I disabled it, then I closed OBS. Second log is on 132nd MP server with OBS recording ON. This one is more stable, but I still see some huge Frame Interval spikes. OBS recording ON and recording (Caucasus A-10C Cold and Dark) OBS ON, not recording (Caucasus A-10C Cold and Dark) OBS OFF (Caucasus A-10C Cold and Dark) 132nd MP Server cold and Dark, OBS recording DCS 2024-12-17 22-00-14.3848367 UTC.XRFrameToolsBinLog DCS 2024-12-17 22-14-03.4955550 UTC.XRFrameToolsBinLog Spikey Spikes on a CPU torture mission, OBS recording ON

    My stability has improved somewhat. Made quite some changes. The most recent changes; Removed Nvidia Shader Cache Disabled an additional number of Windows Service AMD 3D V-cache performance optimizer AMD Crash Defender AppX Deployment Service Asus Update Check cbdhsvc (clipboard) Diagnostic services (Policy, Service, System) Power Service Telephony Remote Access Disabled Microsoft Data collection Moved Windows Pagefile to fastest SSD Checked savedgames/scripts/hooks folder for junk Excluded further folders and processes from Defender. Disable Defender real-time during gaming. Process Lasso Removed DCS and other DCS-related processes from core 0 Reduced CPU priority and CPU affinity for unimportant processes (many like; searchapp/indexer, dropbox, onedrive, tablets, etc) and restricted them further using CPU sets. Checked NVCP settings Low Latency: Ultra VR pre-rendered frames 3 (tried 1) Negative LOD Bias: Clamp Clean install I will perform a clean W10 or W11 (haven't made up my mind yet) install on a new SSD soon and will start running DCS from this new OS. The last 3 years I did a bunch of hardware changes (2x CPU, 2x GPU and systemboard upgrade) and tried every VR tool and mod available under the sun. So I heavily tweaked my PC and think time has come to do a clean install because with all the current tweaking I think I should be able to have better performance with my current hardware. I might have just messed around too much in the first year where I really did not know what I was doing (I somewhat know a bit better now, but still am a kettlebell compared to some of the guru's) I now pretty much know what I need to do to get an optimized system. So I will soon start from scratch and will keep a log of all the changes and their impact on my DCS VR performance. I will also give Atlas a go, did not know about that one. Thanks for the tip!

    Wilco. So far the audio is fine now. I have another issue though.. My DCS is showing some strange behavior. Who knows what is going on? When I increase my FPS to the max I see bucket-shaped FPS drops. When I lower FPS they disappear. So far I tried disabling Overclocking, HAGS, QVFR, OXRTK. None have effect.

    Okay thank you
