Marianas is the worst map FPS-vise. I get about half compared to Caucasus. Just curious, what VR headset have you got? If not using SteamVR, it must be Oculus?

I concur. 2.7.9 in VR is back to 2.7.6 level, i.e. FPS are 6% better than 2.7.8. Hope they have indeed found the cause and not dialed some settings lower!

Probably your CPU and GPU are sharing the same cooling infrastructure. DCS loads GPUs to the limit. See how you can help your laptop dispose of the heat.

Compared to your other games? DCS must be utilizing more CPU and GPU. First step, you may try cleaning the vents.

See this thread. Tips on freeing VRAM and symlinks eliminated my stutters on GS, even with old 4670k with 16Gb DDR3:

Underscaling (SS<100%) + sharpening shader. We already can do this in VR.

From Google: The blue line shows the total processing power (CPU frequency) available to the system. Check with HWInfo if your core frequencies are dipping, and why. Maybe they throttle due to temperature or hit power limit. If you are on a laptop termal throttling is very likely!

Is your page file on SSD? 16gb may be a problem. Check in Resource Monitor - Memory - Hard Faults. Keep it open and check if the number goes up when you have stutters. Means your pagefile is acessed. Unless it is on NVMe drive, you may need to buy more RAM.

Yes, both as admin. Joystick IDs are the same, but I downloaded new v208 and v02exp and ran from there (default .cfg), but same result. Uninstalling and reinstalling SteamVR and WMR for SteamVR did not help. I plan to do a clean Windows install, hope that will do it!

PC specs, game settings? My money is on textures loading from HDD as you progress down the map.

What's your Visibility Range? Anything below High will make you see much more details when zoomed, because all it does is moving camera closer.

@NobiWanHello. v208. Why wouldn't it connect? Started happening after I changed motherboard. Everything else works normal.

Ah, yes, thanks, did not use hand controllers to look for it. So, does it still work? I used to fly with it on DCS 2.5, was working. Just tried with a better CPU, Auto and Forced, and it just drops my FPS from 50 to 35 and gives artifacts. Switched it back off. Also, what does Motion Smoothing on General tab do? I don't see any effect from it.

Hi guys, how do I check if motion smoothing works? I remember there was an option in Developers tab of SteamVR, to display an indicator in top left corner. It changed colors, wether it works, or CPU or GPU limited. Now I cannot find that setting...

@Flappie Hi, what GPU utilization do you see when running DCS on Low at 1080p?

The messages appear after I remove the mod. The first one tells me to press <None> or <None>. Then it deletes the d3dx.ini file. 11.4

I posted my settings in the folder with link at the first post. All that such was set.

Hello! It seems DCS deletes or corrupts the d3dx_user.ini when I temporarily disable your mod in OvGME. Upon the subsequent launch of DCS, I get this error: When I launch DCS again I get only this: Finally, if I re-enable your Mod and launch DCS again, all my settings are lost and replaced with defaults. Should I copy d3dx.ini and/or d3dx_user.ini to my MODS folder to preserve the settings? One more thing, it seems the cockpit sharpening has no effect in the latest OB, do you reproduce? And I go from 51 FPS w/o the mod to 46 with it, which is a pain...

Did you try downclocking it all the way down to 1066? I can't find how to remove the 'Solution' flag which I originally meant as a sarcasm...

Hi, no, I am not on a laptop and my CPU (EK loop) and GPU (AIO) run cool. Just tried again in 1080p with RAM at XMP 4000-14 and CPU at 54. I have no idea why, but my hardware only works at full potential when the settings are maxed out (or in VR)! 1. My "Barebone" settings: Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg 3973, 60000, 62, 87, 66.217 2. DCS Low preset: Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg 4639, 60000, 62, 109, 77.317 3. DCS High Preset: Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg 5961, 60000, 90, 108, 99.350

It is a fact that upgrading from 4670k/16Gb DDR3/1080ti to 12900k/32Gb DDR4/1080ti my FPS dropped 50% on 1080p screen. It increased 6% in VR on the same settings. I furter observed inverse relationship between memory bandwidth and FPS on my PC in 1080p. I have no motive to lie about that. I informed the commutiny and devs about this strange fact in hope that it would help debugging the decrease in performance from version to version.

I don't think you understood my results. In VR, there GPU is fully utilized, lower clocked memory is detrimental. I think increasing 'eye candy' in 2d will have similar effect. It is with 'barebones' settings in 2d I see a surprising effect that CPU and GPU are idling! And to combat that, on my PC at least, downclocking memory all the way to 1066 (half the SPD) push the performance higher.

Hello. To reproduce, did you run with my settings (Preset 1 in the Google drive), or yours?

Same. 60 fps do not suggest I can improve visuals. Why barebone settings run so slow with fast memory, but double the FPS with slow? That is the question. I only fly VR, so the test was rather theoretical.
