Hi all,
I've had some issues with my FPS stability in the game since Open Beta 2.5 patch 4 or so. My performance went from a smooth stable 60 fps to 60 FPS most of the time and some drops in between. In SP it will drop to 20-30, stutter briefly and then recover, but in MP it drops to almost 0 with slightly longer stuttering. This occurs frequently enough for it to be highly annoying and also leads to a lot of unwanted crashes, failed dogfights and botched landings.
My specs are: AMD FX-8320, 16 GB RAM, GeForce 1060 6GB, DCS installed on SSD, Windows 10. I use Opentrack with a Trackhat solution.
I've tried a lot of things. I've pretty much gone through all of the graphics settings, preload, etc. This doesn't make a noticeable difference.
I've updated all drivers on my system, no effect.
I've set a static page file, this also made no difference.
I've tried using nVidia control panel for the graphic settings, no difference either.
I've tried overclocking my CPU, no noticeable effect.
When keeping an eye on my CPU/GPU utilization, neither seems to hit 100% either. So I'm not sure if something is bottle necking or not.
I'm running out of options. I hope that this turns out to be a wrinkle that gets ironed out soon by ED. I love flying in this game, but at the moment, it's unplayable in MP and SP training missions get stale eventually.
