evga gtx970 26 fps

[csper]

guys, I just bought new evga gtx970 ftw

 

I created a free flight mission for test. but in airfield fps is about 26-30

Having similar problems. Game runs much worse than before the upgrade (GTX 760) before you even ask, no Im not hitting the 3.5 GB barrier, playing at 1080P with AA turned OFF.

 

Specs are in my signature. I think this is an Nvidia driver/DX9 issue.

Maybe something to do with the multi monitor setting in nvidia CP? like this

Without knowing what your settings are it's hard to say if somethings wrong. Mine runs much, much better with the 970 vs 760.

2600K no OC, 8 gb ram, GTX 970. All sliders on full. 1 1080p screen.

 

If you want to try a direct comparison with me, go to F-86 T/O mission.

 

On runway, 50 fps.

 

During T/O run 55 fps.

 

During rotate, as the mirror includes the horizon ( ground and sky ), the fps drops to 34.

 

Then back to 60 Vert sinc limit during the climb out.

 

If your getting those figures, then that's probably the best you're gonna get.

I have heard this before, but find the low fps very strange.

Without exagerating, my gigabyte GTX 970 runs dcs with 90 fps without trafic and around 60 or higher online. Ill check again because it has been a while since I last checked numbers. But your fps is way to low.

Do note that dcs is very cpu heavy and that might be the reason your fps is low. I don't have a very powerfull cpu either though. It is a 4690k.

I will probably go online and check my fps in a few hours. If I do Ill post it here (flying and on the ground fps).

post a screenshot of your Graphics Options in DCS.

Going to be tomorrow. Have to go to a party and drink beer tonight ;)

Allright, so i have done some testing. I am a bit late, sorry for that, I was very busy.

 

First my option screen:

 

I don't have solid numbers (yet), just me looking at the fps.

I tested my fps online in various aircraft on the ground (UH-1H, Mig-21, F-15C, etc) and in the air flying the instant mission F-15C intercept (had to do it with keybord and mouse because i reinstalled my pc).

 

FPS on the ground varied between 40-90+ FPS. The 40 FPS only sporadically occured in a weird camera angle (I couldn't find FPS dropping below 40). I would say average FPS was around 55-60.

 

FPS in the air varied between 50-90+ FPS. The average was higher than on the ground.

 

I will do some proper testing when i reinstalled all the drivers for my gear, with high low and average FPS.

 

PC Specs:

Intel i5 4690K (still at stock clock speed, I will also try overclocked once i have the time for it)

Asus Maximus Ranger VII

Corsair vengence 8GB ram

Gigabyte GTX970 G1 Gaming

 

Monitor:

Benq XL2410T 1080P 120Hz

I was planning to go to bed (3AM :s), but I just had to do a quick test with the fraps benchmarker. So I joined the virtual acrobatics server.

On the ground in a UH-1H with another huey flying VERY close to me and on the background some other helicopters (MI-8, KA-50, UH-1H) i got the following results. I was looking around in the cockpit and outside the whole time:

 

Frames: 2526 - Time: 41704ms - Avg: 60.570 - Min: 38 - Max: 96.

 

Same settings as on the screenshot in the previous post.

[SkateZilla]

Lower MSAA and Uncheck TSSAA, As well as lower your Tree/Clutter visibility some.

Do you mean i should test that as well? Because I am fine with 60 average FPS on the ground. I took high settings because i wanted to show the OP that having an average FPS of 30 is not normal for a GTX970.

 

 

Edit:

 

Done the test with no TSSAA, MSAA down to 4X and lowered the tree and clutter sliders to 3/4 of the bar. This time there where no other helicopters flying around me on the virtual acrobatics server, but i feel the impact of that is not that big.

 

The numbers:

Frames: 4330 - Time: 48734ms - Avg: 88.850 - Min: 78 - Max: 111

 

So that is quite a lot higher. I have to see for my self if those settings might be worth it comparing picture quality.

I have a feeling it's the civ traffic thats the worst offender. AFAIK (please correct me if Im wrong on this) CIV traffic directly dependant on your CPU cycles, so that it most often directly imapacts lowest minimum FPS performance because of how CPU intenstive the simulation is.

 

With the 760GTX I think I had CIV traffic set to off and I might have now pushed it to high, going to test some more tonight with CIV set to off.

These tests were done already. Use the info. from those that came before us, then enhance them as the sim. develops.

It's sad but DCS doesn't like AMD CPU. :(

Whats more accurate is AMD. doesn't like DX9, as stated in a press release about whether they would implement DX9 enhancement with the release of the new Processor. The answer was an emphatic "No".
