capdippe Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Hi I've been getting rather low frames while on the ground, 11-17, and while in the air i'm getting around 23-42. this seems low to me. My game settings are maxed with civi traffic off and tree/bushes off, and game draw distance about 50% Msi X99 motherboard i7 5820K 3.3 16 bg DDR4 ram at 2133 2 GTX 980's SLI Swift ROG g-sync monitor Liquid CPU cooling My buddy is using an older chip and 1 gtx 770 card and is getting 50 frams on the ground and 70 in the air. Any tricks to increase my performance? Also my aspect ratio is 16:9, however when i start DCS the ratio setting changes to 1.7777779?

Justin Case Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I'm by no means an expert on this but to me it looks like you have a powerful processor, in regards to the number of cores. DCS however only manage to use two of those, so I think it is preferable to have fewer but higher clocked cores. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.

Single core performance a bit slower than a i7 4770. 400 dollar processor..... Edited May 16, 2015 by fixen
Gladman Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Agreed Justin Case. My OC experience has seen significant gains with my i4790K from 4.2Ghz up to 4.8Ghz. Running the 3.3 will be your bottleneck. 1 i9 9900K @ 5.1Ghz - ASUS Maximus Hero XI - 32GB 4266 DDR4 RAM - ASUS RTX 2080Ti - 1 TB NVME - NZXT Kraken 62 Watercooling System - Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas (Virpil Base) - MFG Crosswind Pedals - Pimax 5K+ VFA-25 Fist Of The Fleet [sigpic]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic99190_2.gif[/sigpic] Virtual Carrier Strike Group 1 | Discord

DCS however only manage to use two of those, so I think it is preferable to have fewer but higher clocked cores. It doesn't really matter. I have a 4690k @ 4.4Ghz, but when a P-51 opens fire in MP or enough howitzers fire in SP, my framerate drops to around 8-11 FPS. No hardware is going to help beyond a certain point if software just strangles itself. To OP, does your game have a lot of AI units? Anything that has some projectile will stomp on your framerate instantly. Disabling all AI is always the first to better framerates (Unless you want them to be there, in which case you just have to deal with the low framerates).

Nooch Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Maybe motherboard driver not installed? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
txmtb Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Might want to run something like HWINFO 64 in the background and reset the values then fire up a mission. It should give you the max and average for all cores, memory, both GPU's, etc... http://www.hwinfo.com/download.php Win 10 64 Pro, MSI Z390 I7-9700K @5ghz Kraken Z63, 32Gb Corsair Dominator, MSI RTX-2070, 1TB NVME 2TB SSD's, TM Warthog, Pro Rudders, OpenTrack w/ IR Clip

Of course DCS in its current state is a huge bottleneck itself but even I have better performance with my i7 3770k at 3,9, a single GTX 980 and 6 gb of RAM. On large missions I suffer too but generally it's ok. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
capdippe Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Great info guys thanks! Just to clearify, my 5820k is actually OC to 4.7. I did update my motherboard, and have played around with the in game settings. It is very playable, however I just thought my performance should be better than what i'm seeing. I think I need to spend some time overclocking the 980's and se what I get. Any good starting points when OC 980's? Is it better to boost the core clock or memory, or to have a balance betwen them? Like I said my buddy is running a single 770 and is getting 20-30 frames more than me up high and down low.
Justin Case Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 my 5820k is actually OC to 4.7. Oh, then you should be getting more frames I suppose...I'll just back away and monitor this thread for any solutions. Good luck! http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.

capdippe Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 i'll give it a test will SLI off and see if that helps. Does anybody know how PhysX works? Should I just dedicate the other card to PhysX or change PhysX to CPU?
