Well I just found some used RAM that was the same model number of my current RAM, so they should be perfect fit.. I will see if the 32gb boost will help for a total of 64gb of Memory.. I was on the 4YA Server again and I was maxed out on RAM 31.9gb's that is a killer server and it ran pretty good but I am hoping for smoother sailing next week when the ram should get here.. Looks like I lucked out gonna go buy some lotto tickets nowhaha!!

Hey Guys, I was installing and reinstalling various nVidia drivers to see which would work best for me and I thought I would share my findings. This was just a quick test I did mostly just wanted to check the FPS in 2 different scenarios with 2 differnt maps and 3 sets of nVidia drivers. this is no way a thorough test I am just a guy with a desktop LOL!! So here are the results I will first list the drivers I used and I did a DDU uninstall and reinstall of the nVidia drivers. so that was the most extensive bit I did in my test just to make sure they where as clean as I could get.. Plus this is a 1 day old Install of Windows and DCS. nVidia driver 456.71: Syria map: Instant Action Ramp Hot Start FPS = 71-72 Caucasus: Instant Action Runway Hot Start = 79-81 ------------------------------------------------------------------- nVidia driver 512.15 Syria: IARHS FPS = 70-72 Caucasus: IARHS FPS = 75-77 --------------------------------------------------------------------- nVidia driver 452.06 Syria: IARHS FPS = 66-67 Caucasus: IARHS FPS = 74-75 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nVidia driver 452.06 ---- I changed 1 settings in nVidia Control Panel: 1. Power managemnt mode = Prefer max Performance. Syria: IARHS FPS = 61-62 Caucasus: IARHS FPS = 70-71 I also changed the performance level in the 512.15 drivers and as with the 452.06 I had worse performance then if I left the settings at their default.. Being not too sure what to conclude here but from the numbers for myself it was best with an older set of drivers and Defauly settings in the nVidia Control Panel.. Maybe we could check and see when the 2xxx series came out and which driver it was. and maybe try the last set of 10series drivers to try out. but I really just did this as a quick test to see what would happen.. Wierd, how I thought setting to max performance really would have helped but in my experiment it was the opposite.. I do know it makes the card run Full out all the time and I found optimal is the same but when I am not using the video card in a game or whatnot the clock speeds declock which is good on the electric bill LOL!! This was just a quick experiment and by no means an exhaustive one so please remember YMMV and I only have a 1070GTX so newer drivers would be negligible for me, but if you have a 3xxx series card newer could be better in your case. I would say maybe experiment with the max performance setting as it really made the FPS worse in my instance.. You can try a few yourself depending on which card you have I would not just default to the latest and greatest is not always the case..

Well I see most of you all have said it would be a benefit to have more RAM. But I was pricing some RAM last night and it was over 200USD for 64GB Ouch my pockets are not that deep but I played a MP Mission last night and was getting near 31GB RAM Usage in the mission.. I tried another MP Mission and it got around 25gb usage, what I am wondering ifI did get more Ram would the usage go up or use more if I had more RAM or the System would only use the RAM It needs and not cache out?

Hey Andre, I guess that is why it does not work then? is there a reasone the SB Z does not support mono mode if not known no big deal was just curious as to why that is so.. Also what 5.1 sound card would you reccomend if I wanted to try another soundcard? Will any new Sound Blasster work like the AE5?? Thank you very much for the responce.

Hey guys, I am using the Beta version 2.26 Simshaker the issue I am having and it happens on release as well is that I cannot select my soundcard (SoundBlasterZ) in mono mode in the select dedicated sound card tab, it restarts SS but when it comes back on the line is blank. Not sure but shouldn't I be able to select my sound card there and have it stay, what would make it not be selected.. I can select the Stereo mode but then I get a ticking sound in the headset especially when in the apache.. I am on Windows 10 64bit fresh install as of the 4-15-2022, I use a soundblaster driver version 3.4.98.00 which is the lates for the soundBlaster Z. I had this problem for sometime now just wanted to see if I can get it working or if it is a bug or something. Been using Simshaker with DCS so no other sims involved..

Hey guys, NVM I found the sound module thread thnx tho..

well you are a bit lowside of RAM, what are your DCSOptions and G2 resolution settings??

I tried and for the life of me unable to see if it is working or not. I figured it would be night and day but IDK looks the same to me. and I followed the video to the T I even Downloaded the file someone uploaded here.. Would of loved it, if it worked for me. I am a big fan of 3D..

Hi Nomorefly, +1 on what BigNewy said..

Yes those log files. Anyhow have you or Windows done any updates drivers, security updates past week or so? not sure but the one crash log shows this: 0x000000000001E0AB (KERNEL32): FatalExit + 0xB Was it a sudden program end or did you have to kill the process?

Hello I only see crsh and dmp files in there no log files?? can you post your DCS Log file as well. and I guess the question is did winodws or your self update and programs or the OS since this started happening? Do you have any PC components overclocked?

Well isn't Vulkan coming 3rd quarter 2022? yes I dont think it is all in the GPU mostly cpu for alot of things hence why I am able to run medium shadows and high textures. and it looks and is really pretty smooth..

Well it works for me but I usually been running low shadows flat sucks, I only notice a few fps drop when going medium.... Depends on what FPS you can live with. I am down to about 33-40fps sometimes goes to 45fps so it is not all bad. with OpenXR I was able to increase the rez and have a lower FPS that was acceptable..

I had a thread similar to this and was told it is just not about pushing pixels.. If a 3090 is not enough for a Varjo and you need basically a 150% Improvement I hear the 4xxx series is gonna be very fast so I guess we can wait until they come out and get some real world numbers.. I do not remember where the thread ended up but like on DCS I can get to 40% res and in say another game I can get 70% resolution it really comes down to how efficient the game can di what it needs to do not just push pixels.. But according to the google serach I just did my 1070 should push 4K res. but I just checked my OpenXR Graphic rez and it was 1992x1948 which is near the 2160 but in the G2 and I think other headsets we need to include the rez for the warping it must do but I dont see how that adds pixels to the mix. So total pixels in my headset with a 1070 are 7,760,832 with DCS I can get a little more depending on mission I am playing or even the game I play.. Does the Varjo do something similar with the optics and the display resolution like with the G2? I would imagine some games would work better then others for many reasons. heck I am unsure but I am thinking maybe the market will just push me out because of new pricing or there will just be so many wanting to buy the market may do another scalper issues and drive prices even further then they are now.. So how does your 6900XT run the G2 in DCS what res do you run? I have a 1070 and can get to 40% res in OpenXR with mostly low settings altho I have textures and shadows on medium..

which pimax in particular is it the Pimax 5k or 8KX?? Pimax is pretty brutal on systems especially if you run max FOV.

well then what resolution and FPS do you use get? thank you for the answer..

maybe I have done something wrong.. I am unsure but when I tried it it did not look any different.. what driver are you guys that it works for using?

Yes, But I am unsure if there is a difference in depth. as to change that you would need to seperate the 2 images in the headset which I don't see the vidoe drivers being able to accomplish?

Hey I was wondering if you are using OpenXR If so what rez do you run at.. Was trying to determine the least amount of FPS I can accept which is about 38-45fps..

yes, I will test it in a minute thanks if this works I owe you one..

Will I need to associate the DCS EXE with this profile? we did things like this with 3D vision cool stuff for sure will see in a minute what it looks like I like more Depth..

NVM, I unzipped it to my Downloads folder and it then ran fine.. I will give this a go..

Yes I dl this exact file and when I run it nothing happens?? I know it is supposed to open inspector but it does not? I will retry to DL it

Well I downloaded the file for inspector it does nothing. I go into the inspector I installed and I dont have those settings. these directions are missing an important step and I imagine it has to do with the reference file in the download on Github?? How do I import that xml file into inspector?

Hey All, I just noticed this problem last night flying at night. When I get above 2ft or so the PNVS in the Monocle turns off after reaching 2feet or so. when I go back down it turns on again. I made a short clip of this and it happened on que. Now sure what else to post specs are in my Sig and I just did a Clean, repair just before flight and I am using No Mods.. EDIT: I just watched the trk file and it did not go out in the trk file but in my VR Headset it did go out. not sure what is going on here but something is bugged.. here are my log files as well.. but the PNVS in the monocle goes out when looking in the VR headset. I will try and take note if it plays in the 2d monitor or not.. I made a simple mission and the first time I flew it the PNVS went out. I flew it again and it did not go out. I guess maybe someone else try it and see if the PNVS goes out on you.. pnvs goes out.trk neph night .miz dcs.log pnvs goes out3.trk
