Hello all,
I was having some performance issues with DCS World 1.5 beta earlier this week.
Specs:
i7 4790K OC 4.4Ghz WaterCooled
16GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Vengence
Nvidia GTX 680
Primary SSD Kingston SV300 240GB
Storage Two 1TB WD Greens in RAID 0
I had DCS 1.5 beta installed on the RAID 0 Configuration and was experiencing periodic stutters with FPS drop according to fraps.
I began investigating different graphics configurations adjusting all graphics setting one by one to see the impacts they were having.
In my case, using the P51 vs FW190 instant action as a test, I found that trees, bushes/clutter and shadows had an appreciable impact on these periodic stutters.
However I did not eliminate the stutter/fps drop completely until I put DCS World 1.5 beta onto my SSD. I use an older GTX 680, I have medium to high settings with no stutter/fps drop any more.
I must stress I did not have continuous stutter in quick succession but during the course of a mission there would be an FPS drop with a definite stutter/lag periodically.
Hope this helps someone else and developers.
