I could use the bonus system a few days ago. Its working again.

As promised! i am a man of my word, the settings i have made for optimizing my GTX580 3GB vid card. Be aware that it is all subject to change because i am still finetuning everything to get the max out of my card. The setting as they are are used in the performance test video i posted earlier. I have to apologize if some things maybe not clear to understand because i had to translate it from dutch to english en type it down for you to compare. If there is anything causing confusion or not clear , dont hesitate to ask. I wil also add a pic of my setting made in the DCS settings panel. Nvidea controlpanel settings General Settings: Anisotropic filtering: program controlled Antialiassing - FXAA: on Antialiasing - Gamma correction: on Antialiassing -Modus: program controlled Antialliassing - Transparancy: 8x Supersample CUDA GPU`s: All DSR - Factors: 4.00x Native Resolution DSR Fluency: 50% Tripple Buffering: off Energy managing Modus: Optimal Capacity Maximum Pre-rendered frames: Use 3D program settings Environmental occlusion: Quality Open GL Rendering GPU: Automatic selection Shader Cache: on Texture Filtering - Antisotropic: off Texture Filtering quality: quality Texture filtering - Negative LOD-Bias: allow Texture filtering - Triliniair optimalisation: on Thread Optimalisation: Automatic Vertical Synchronisation: Use 3D programsettings Virtual Reality pre-rendered frames: 1 Nvidea control panel (program settings TAB) Game DCS Anisotropic filtering:Use general settings program Antialliassing - FXAA: on Antialliassing - Gamma correction: Use general setting (ON) Antiaaliassing Modus: Use general settings (program controlled) Antialliassing Transparancy: Use general settings (8x supersampling) CUDA - GPU`s: Use general settings (all) Tripple buffering: On Energy managing modus: on Maximum pre-remdered frames: Use the general settings (use 3D program settings) Environmental occlusion: not supported by this program Open GL rendering GPU:Use general settings (Automatic selection) Shader Cache:Use genral settings (on) Texture filtering - Anisotropic example: off Texture filtering - quality: High quality Texture filtering - Negative LOD-bias: use general settings (allow) Tecture filtering - Triliniair optimalisation: ON Thread optimalisation: use general settings(automatic) Vertical Synchronisation: use general settings (use the 3D program controlled settings) Virtual reality pre-rendered frames: use the general setting 1 DCS Sim Settings: Regards John (aka Baracuda)

Had the same problem in the past and had to map the throttle. Follow the comments here and it should be good to go for you.

Maybe also a good suggestion for people with troubles is updating your mobo drivers, processor drivers and every driver you can find for your hardware. Also these drivers can get corrupted. Not the right or corrupted mobo drivers for instance can result in stuttering system performance. I don't know what to advice here at work atm but there are programs out that detect outdated and corrupted drivers and surch for the up to date drivers for you to download. Other question is, is your bios up to date? flash it to the latest bios build. After you formatted your HD and/or installed windows again did you installed and updated your mobo ,processor ,usb etc etc drivers again? Because they are gone after a format for example. Dust in you graphics card or other hardware components? Settings adjusted in windows 10 for preventing some activity of all sort of scripts etc etc in the background. There are so much reasons for stuttering or bad performance wile the system should run everything like a race car. It is not always ED side of things that is causing bad performance. I see so much people with vidcards and hardware in other words super systems I am jalous about lol but who have so much trouble with performance in DCS (ofcourse it is demanding but still). Somewhere is the reason but again it is not always ED who has to or can fix it for so many different system builds. Just trying to brainstorm and raise some ideas for possible solutions. I am not a genius but try to help. I advice you to use Windows 10 godmode. Its awesome to use. You can create a godmode map for windows 10 this way: with Windows 10. It is a dedicated folder that puts all of your settings in one place, where you'll be able to do everything from adding clocks for different time zones to defragmenting your drives. And it's a snap to set up. Set up GodMode To enable GodMode, check if the user account you are using is an administrator account and then right-click on the desktop and click New > Folder. Next, copy and paste the following into the folder name: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} Note: Make sure to copy the whole line above, including GodMode, the period and the brackets. The folder icon will change to a control panel icon. Double-click on the new icon to see your universal settings panel. The settings are organized under various headings, from Administrative Tools to Windows Firewall. For windows7 Step 1: Right click on desktop. Step 2: Click create folder. Step 3: Name your sparkly, new folder this, "GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}" and press enter. Step 4: Blink as the folder changes form to look like the control panel. Step 5: Open the folder and bask in all your godly, control panel-y power. This for everybody who did not use it before.

Sorry for not posting the wanted information yet. Workload is killing me today. Tomorrow I have a weekend of. You can count on it that tomorrow I share al the wanted info. Sidenote: Your fps is higher compared to mine due to your card. I stick around 50 fps high and 30-40 low altitude. Just brainstorming here,but stuttering issues can it be also the reason that for example a antivirus prog is running in the background, bad cookies, windows updates or some background programs interfere with DCS running? Also switching from a hd to ssd wiped alot of stuttering on my side. I think also that not only a fast gpu is record breaking but fast memory , cpu and mobo to. This because a fast gpu is less effective if it cant process the data fast enough it wil be blocked due to slower hardware around it.. Im not a hardware genius but could it be? I heard a logical comment before, the situation of my system is that my hardware is pulling the gpu with it . But my gpu can have a steady flow of data exported to my system. Could I be right with this view?

Amazing module this Hornet! Tnx ED. I have an older graphics card and it still runs gr8 in DCS. made a vid of it but I have to apologize because I cant manage to show it here. if some1 can help me with it would be cool! until then I can only add the link sorry: I have none crashes or the need to get an expensive high-end card , for me the old guy I am it is enough. Until it is not playable anymore I stick with this card. The only problem I have like so many more is the MP part. its not playable anymore but this isn't the connection 200mbit here or hardware, it is not optimized on ED`s side..... to bad ,had good time in MP in the past. Hope it wil be fixed anytime soon. Gr8 module ED TY again

Good question!

Do any settings changes made in the Nvidea control center help? I ask this because I did and dont have this problem.

That is also the problem , most people dont know that it is going on. Due to a reconstruction of the bonus system you cant use,the,bonus system to pay a part of a module and if you do your order will be cancelled except when you pay the full prize. You can get the info about the reconstruction at the ED website in user support. In this forum section you will find more about it in other posts made.

I have a question for ED. How long will it take to Finnish the reconstruction of the bonus system? Ill ask this because I wanted to buy the Gulf Map and next some campaigns. If it is going to take a wile then I buy some campains first but my personal goal was to buy the map first to be prepared for the release of the Hornet and upcoming campaigns for that Map as you will understand. Depending your answer I will make my move. Ty for your time. :)

Welcome!

Could it plz be posted on the forum when the reconstruction of the bonus system will be ready. Most did not know this. Ty

+1 Hope they fix also the MP problems that are going on atm......

Your answer is here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=209408 Bonus system doesn't work atm. due to a serious reconstruction of it. To use the bonus amount well have to wait until the reconstruction is done and the system up again. I had the same problem buying the Gulf Map today, they canceled the order immediately and refunded it. ( every order made with the bonus system is cancelled they told me). So go into your account on the ED website and look at the status of your order.(think you will see order status cancelled there) Otherwise open a ticket in the support section/user support on the website. Hope that will help you GL. Barracuda

Awesome thanks!

Bonus system seems to have problems atm due to a serious reconstruction of this system. I ordered the Gulf Map today and used the bonus points I gained from the Hornet. Paid for it with PayPal but the bonus point are stil not transferred to that order. opened a ticked for it and hope it wil be fixed so that I finally can install and fly in the new Map.

Will check that and give feedback when I am back home from work.

SSAA Tried the option 1.5 and 2 SSAA but it gives me more stutter then MSAA4x I am comfortable as it runs on my system now regarding the old video card I am playing with. Only thing is I hope that the MSAA option will stay. This old beast is still running the sim in high settings. I wait longer before I am finally buying a new one, just to overpriced atm due to the miners hype. My system specs: I7 6700K CPU @ 4.4GHZ 16 GB ddr4 GSKILL FURY BLACK EDITION 2666mhz EVGA GTX 580 3GB Cooler master High airflow case. 750 W Corsair CX750 MOBO MSI Z170A Windows 10 pro 64 bit. Track IR 4 pro Saitek X52 Flight Control System. I have most graphic settings in high unbelievable (will show this in the next movie) Did a lot of graphics settings in the NVidia panel and not in the DCS settings section. I have no anti virus software installed and blocked whatever possible deep into windows settings. My graphics test in DCS with this card you can see here: Sorry for only the link, cant manage to put the vid inhere. Still have to fine-tune more but do you think this can be better or will it be the max I can get out of this card? Wonder if the card can handle the Gulf Map..... If you fly MP and see Paralizer around, say HI ! See you in the skies my fellow Virtual Pilots.

looking awsome! Tnx for the info.

Hi Hollywood, wil it also work with the hornet and the gulf map? Awesome plugin bro. Tnx.
