8 Go VRAM is not enough for the DCS current version ( for many reasons ) Everybody hope it will be better in futur, you can find many thread about VRAM usage This is my point of view and my own experience ( i own a 1080ti and VRAM usage is > 8Go sometime ) It will work most of the time with 8go, yes. But you'll have to play with more compromises about settings with this constraint. Be aware of that part in the future Edit: RTX 2060 is only 6go of VRAM ( i believed ii was 8 ! ) , this is not enough for High resolution need as with HP Reverb. So my first answer is trully valid in my point of view. My advice would be : buying a used 1080ti is a good quality/performances/price approach to be happy with DCS in VR ( see this thread : )

Hello Extra330, To enjoy the HP reverb, whatever version, in most of DCS uscase ( big mission, multiplayer etc.. ) You should get : - more RAM ( 24 or 32gb with good Freq and low Cash Latency as possible ( good RAM ! )) - more VRAM ( 1080ti or RTX series > 8go ) - CPU Overclock near 4,5 Ghz ( carefuly ! ) And be prepared about 1 or 2 days of settings the whole stack ( WMR, Steam Vr , DCS settings etc.. ) This is my own summerize about all thread about performances ( i planned to get the G2 too... ) Hope this can help you...

Segax About budget, you should think about finding a used machine... Mine is a 10 years machine : Asus P8P67 PRO Motherboard + core I5 2500K overclocked to 4,6 Ghz + GTX 1080ti + 32 gb RAM ( DDR3 2133 XMP profile) And everything run fine even in VR .

Ok thanks , that's make sense, a lot of combination of use... By my side, i get a better experience by using a used car GTX 1080ti insteed of buying a RTX 3070 ( because of the 11,5 GB VRAM vs a 3070 with only 8GB !! ) Everything is very smooth, in VR too ( Rift CV1 ) I hope it will be enough for DCS planned release...( vulkan should help, but wait and see ;- ) )

Hello Taz, Could your work about optimized textures be shared ? It seems to give great value about the game. If yes, I should be interested to test it... Thanks .

Hello Segax, Here is my experience : 1) My machine was nearly the same than you in a recent past : 8 GB RAM and GTX 1060. Windows was swapping because of memory need > RAM... Check the global memory usage of your machine with native windows tools ( nothing else needed to check that ) =>Everything has become better when i upgraded to 16 GB RAM ( not enough for big mission on big server... , over 20GB is needed sometime ) 2) I experienced same problem of performance drop when selecting another mission ( or role in multiplayer ) =>Until you get more RAM, you have to exit the game to workaround the problem.

Slt, Toujours pas de joystick ? Regarde le cyclique ( touche 2 du pavé , 5 pour retour au centre de la vue) Et Vérifie que le manche réagit bien comme prévu sur ses 2 axes Ensuite, bah du palo à droite ( X ) , un peu de collectif avec '+' du pavé et ça monte C'est sport mais jouable, j'avais jamais essayé au clavier... PS: Si ça te dit, je t'invite à voler ensemble en multiplayer ...( on s'ennuit tout seul dans cette Gazelle ! ) Histoire de dégrossir et partager, j'aime bien cette machine. Tu m'envoi un message dans ce cas.

@Taz1004 : many thanks for your last post ! @SvsMokey : thanks too ! It's now working, i now enabled MFAA in NCP, FXAA is off. DCS MSAA x2 now looks nearly as DCS MSAA x4 ! I continue my test with VR cockpit read ;-)

Thanks, Good eyes ! I will try to find how to enable mfaa in nvidia cp and retry

Hello, Thanks for this thread I tried many test in order to get better FPS and good visual as some people said. But I couldn't succeed to manage AA with nvidia control panel Here what i have done after reading this thread, could you please correct me if i made a mistake ? - Enable MSAA in game ( x 2 ) - Close Game - Set Nvidia CP with FXAA + Enhance Application Parameter + x 8 ( DCS program and default settings ) - Delete FXO and Metashader ( as when a patch come out ) - Start DCS => it seems it's only MSAA x 2 - Change MSAA in game x 4 => it's better So where i missed something ? Thanks

Great ! I 'll try SS through SteamVR too with this tips. ( i'm not aware about Steam ;-) )

Thanks for all the response. I'll give a try with occulus tray tool ( i forgot to say i own a Rift ... ) If i can understand, i cannot test using SteamVR SS with my configuration : DCS Eagle Dynamics version and Rift

Hello, Using external SS setting is an interesting way i would like to test as suggested. What are the different way to use external SS ? ( PD stay to 1.0 in DCS ) I didn't find a full response about external SS by searching in the forum... - using occulus tray tool ? - using steam VR ( is it possible with the non steam dcs version ? ) - with CLI debug occulus tool ? ( used to switch to asw:30 with command line sometime ) - VRSS of nvidia driver on RTX card ? - other Thanks

+1 my free flight test mission is smoother too, I reduced gamma setting to reduce 'milk atmosphere'

Hello All seetings have to be redone with the new light system in order to get happy Did you Reduce Gamma setting ? Gamma setting was about 2.2 in 2.5.5 I set it to 1.6 in 2.5.6 for now And everything is now fine for my point of view

Hello, You can get some few FPS with true full screen Try it and look at your vr fps

Our difference is about the VRAM quantity and CPU clock. 3 GB seem very short. To get FPS in main menu : - start occulus - plug rift, but don't put on your head - check occulus home detect your rift ( three green ) - start dcs in vr - display fps : they are not limited to 45 because the rift not on your head yet By this way, we can get a base performance to compare. Next video card to buy for me too... 1) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=266061 2) Make a ".bat file" with ( be careful about your directory ) : call "D:\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusDebugToolCLI.exe" -f "asw30.txt" 3) and "asw30.txt" file in same directory the .bat file with : server:asw.Clock30 exit 4) and a shortcut on the .bat file 5) lauch shortcut after starting oculus home : 30 hz to play on PG or SC are smoother than trying to get 45 our card cannot

Hello, My machine is same as you ( I5 2500k, 4.5 ghz, RAM 32Gb, GTX 1060 6Gb, Rift CV1 ) I spend time to tweak everything and i can play very confortable. Important things are in forum, here mine: - Power Maximum performances in nvidia control panel - Performances Textures in nvidia control panel - All Shadow off ( recent need with SC release ) - Graphic Low settings - PD 1.2 ( no occulus tray tool needed ) - Force 30 Hz output with occulus commande line tool ( for PG map ) - Disable HotPlug Device - ALT+ ENTER Multiple time to get true full screen - Turn Off Mirror in plane I get 129 FPS in main menu ( before to put the rift on the Head to go to 90 fps ) My next GPU card will be RTX 2060/70 super. How many fps do you get in main menu ?

PS: With 'flat shadow' settings, i have 60 fps, it's work very well !

Hi, Work for me with a GTX 1060 : from 30 fps to 45 fps with your file ( 'low shadow' settings ) Thanks for sharing. But this tweak seems to change the 'shadow view distance ' from cockpit right ? I'm not sure to get the plane shadow on the terrain anymore now. This the most useful for me : to give information about the plane altitude when low flying and terrain variation I'll test some setting about good distance value to get my useful plane shadow. This tweak can be use for people interested in 'shadow cockpit only' There are many thread about 'shadow cockpit only' @Nealius you can search for the file with windows explorer The file is in $DCS_INSTALL/Config/Effects/ as said in first post PS: With 'flat shadow' settings, i have 60 fps, it's work very well !

SA page ? Some guys solved the problem by using an older version of their nvidia driver ( I noticed that because i planed to change my graphic card ) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=266229

Hello, As i'm learning the F18 and BVR, i looked at your track until the end ( nearly 10-15 minutes ) What is the approximate time when fps drops occurs ? The track has been playing without fps drop for me ( 60 Hz syncro every time ) My rig is a middle machine : i5 4.5Ghz DDR3 16gb GTX 1060 6gb My seetings are middle too to play in VR sometimes.
