mhe Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Why not have a Beta and let us tweak it and gather some performance stats on various setups? I can imagine that the speed might have something to do with video memory, DCS is eating VRAM like crazy on higher settings. Given the much higher detail in the EDGE footage so far, I would suspect it to be even more extreme in that regard. Not many people have more than 2GB of video memory for a single screen setup, so that might be a reasonable goal to optimize towards. I wouldn't mind to have to go crazy on hardware to have the best DCS experience possible, but a lot of people wouldn't be willing or able to put that kind of hardware into their rigs just to fly. It is a hobby after all and budget is definitely a point to keep in mind. | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.
shagrat Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 It's amazing what happens when people make assumptions. :) I'll pose some rethorical questions for you to consider: 1) What hardware was used to run those sessions that are being posted around? Unknown. 2) Was the software hardware-agnostic, or purpose-built? Unknown. 3) What other components are running? Unknown. 4) Is that using a "PC" setup, or a cluster? Unknown. 5) Is that built for DTS, or full-motion simulation? Unknown. Basically, your definition of being "behind" is... weird... since it would require that you know the answers to these questions. Do you? Something I could pose as a scenario (and honestly, I don't know if this is "correct", I have no involvement with those kinds of projects): we have seen some interesting pits used with the Mi-8 (remember the one showing the "clack-clack" of the trimmers in russian helos?). We've seen youtube vids with fullsize cockpits associated to those devs. Considering the development cost of said pit, my personal guess is that they're running something completely different for physics (or perhaps something that the Mi8 physics was derived from later, who knows), and had a rendering cluster to run the dome around the fullsize pit. ...as I am sure you'll understand, building software towards running a rendering cluster on very specific hardware is a TAD different to making the same software run on PC's that not only can have any of a wild assortments of GPU's, they might even have any of several different operating systems... :P It's a completely different ballgame. People underestimate how HARD it is to make something run well on the "PC" compared to homogenous, purpose-built, platforms. Sums it up pretty well! Too many variables to be sure of anything... :smilewink: Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
