shagrat Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 No real performance difference on my end. I assume the difference will be noticeable with lots of units. I already had 80-120 frame rates in the old version. Start up time is significantly longer due to the login feature. This is something I really dislike and hope it goes away. You can get into DCS by clicking the X to skip login directly, only MP and Module Manager will require a login. Keep in mind through current updates it seems servers are a bit stressed and it will get better the 1.5 Update is through.

BitMaster Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 AWESOME PERFORMANCE ;) mostly 121fps with 1440p, 16x/4x, Ultra etc... plain jawdropping performance !!with all Autostart ON, Avira ALL ON, Backgroundtasks etc... non overclocked and GPU actually 10% downclocked ...when I oc max, it really doesnt show that much difference anymore as it used to, maybe it's just my plain excitement or DCS has become less max-frequency dependant. It plain rocks and blows me off my socks :) Hut ab !

=Mac= Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Come on, guys. I have to go to work in a few hours. It's 4 in the morning and I NEED to get some sleep. If I go in late, they're going to KNOW I was up all night flying. I'll get fired for sure. Couldn't ED wait until Friday night? Ah, what the heck. I'll just call in air-sick or something. ED, you guys have one helluva flight sim here! With everything maxed out, in downtown Sochi, I got FPS around 120. Totally awesome images. So smooth! I couldn't install my L-39 because I can't login using my "=Mac=" name. I CAN login to the website but not through the DCS program. So I can't install the L-39. (Exiting the login and trying to log in again, the = signs have been turned into threes on each side of Mac.) Anyway, I got to get back flying for, okay, another hour..... Then it's sleep time.... The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

westr Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 im getting better FPS in cockpit sometimes around 75+ with high graphics settings :) but slightly less FPS in external views than in previous DCS. Looks very sharp ground objects seem to stand out more it seems, things like buildings look great from altitude. Lots of differences I have noticed afterburner effects, the way the A.I behaves when damaged, I shot down an FW-190 last night in the mustang and it seemed as though his performance tailed off slightly after being hit before I finished him off, maybe? Very very impressed. I was expecting the model visibility option to be more effective maybe, perhaps this is still to be worked on? What does everybody else think? Overall im very happy with the direction this is heading.

XeNoise Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I slept 3 hours. Flying over the water is just incredible, the sense of speed is something i've never have seen before. Smoke effects are soo beautiful. Didnt had a performance increase but i guess it's because of the higher settings. Still 60fps at 1080p so thats great. Only thing what i miss is the sonic boom and its vapor effect. Thanks ED!! Cant wait for tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'd like to hear from 4k display users. 4k withG-Sync. All maxed out 40+ in most scenery, e.g. on airport or over Tiblisi, only on ultra visibility a light impact if you go really high up. Overall the performance is stunning!

Phantom453 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Incredibly impressive for a first cut open beta!! I too have huge FPS gains with everything maxed. Certainly early days yet and still a lot more testing required with multiple objects/ units, cities, multi-player and the like, but wow!! Nothing below 70 FPS so far and that was in the M-i8 low and fast. Other aircraft have been much higher FPS. I've even had as high as 170 FPS!! I only have a GTX 680 and was going to stop and pick up a GTX 980 TI on the way home today, but thought I'd better double check the physical dimensions inside my box. Will now wait see how further testing goes, but might not need one just yet (will have to see how we go with NTTR though). Finally, thanks ED. Really appreciate what has gone into getting this so good already. Must be just about time for "tea and medals" at ED :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuSi_6 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 just wow, but Oculus 0.7 runtime is a big mess. Will try 0.6 later today. Thing is, 2D might look superp, but once you went VR, you can't go back ;) :pilotfly: Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pedals, Oculus Rift :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I do have a top end card - GTX 980 TI, but with internal views I am seeing 148 FPS, and although with the DoF on, external views slow right down - which is obviously something yet to be sorted by ED, I really didn't expect to be able to run all the settings maxed out and still get such a huge gain in performance. Keep in mind Depth of Field needs huge post processing power. From what I understand it is primarily intended for "beauty shots" and/or video production (from Tracks) opposed to "normal" flying. BTW need to test rendering a video from a track later this weekend... :D 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witchking Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Damn ED...the EDGE engine is fantastic. I love the bokeh version of the DOF. Looks so beautiful. Perfect screenshot galore. Very nicely done with the smoke/flares etc. The Mig 29 cockpit is fantastic. A few bugs/crashes but all in all....great job. Can't be easy adaptng your huge code base to a totally new platform.

OnlyforDCS Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Very very impressed. I was expecting the model visibility option to be more effective maybe, perhaps this is still to be worked on? What does everybody else think? Have you tried setting the option to "Enlarged" in the video options? I need to test this out myself TBH, the dueling quickstart mission for the P51D vs AI Dora would be a good start I think.

I need to test this out myself TBH, the dueling quickstart mission for the P51D vs AI Dora would be a good start I think. Yeah I've set to the enlarged option but am still finding it really difficult to pick out the target without labels. Which in fairness is true to life but A.I always seems to have perfect vision. Once I spot the target I'm normally ok and I can keep track of him. But if he makes a sudden direction change and goes vertical for example I loose him. Once again ED very pleased with 1.5 it's looking really good.

BritTorrent Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Unbelievable...I can't believe how much of a difference this update has made. I was on the verge of buying a new i5 processor because my performance was so bad before, and now I'm getting 50-60fps on the ground! Sometimes 100+ in the air, even with a lot of stuff going on. It's amazing! And I'm not sacrificing any graphical fidelity to get those frames. The game looks bloody beautiful. Started to notice a few bugs creeping through, but of course that's to be expected and I'm doing my best to isolate the causes and report them in the bug tracker. To all the ED team, you've absolutely outdone yourselves. A huge thank you from me! Well done :) Edited October 2, 2015 by BritTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdoc Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I was expecting the model visibility option to be more effective maybe, perhaps this is still to be worked on? What does everybody else think? Overall im very happy with the direction this is heading. Same here, the enlarged option only affects very distant targets. For usual dogfight distances 1-2 kms I can see only a small improvement that is probably related to the better graphics/contrast. The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life to experience all three at the same time.

Vitesse2l Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 This is much better than I expected. Old system, E8400 C2D with 650Ti and 8Gb ram. I've got most everything turned up and frames are in the 70's for the most part. Only the DOF setting drops it to high teens. Thanks ED. Now about the NTTR...

dburne Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 My initial impression after just a few minutes - WOW, this is amazing! Loaded up a cold start flight in the KA-50. Previously, I would start with fps little over 100, then when the rotors started spinning it would drop down into the 70's and pretty much stay there. This time, when the mission loaded my fps was around 123 fps, started it up, rotors start spinning, and no drop in fps, stayed around 123 fps for the flight. And it looked gorgeous! Just a quick free flight around the airfield with a few other aircraft around, but very impressive.

bongodriver Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Some kind of sinister black magic has been performed, the fps gains in the Oculus rift I just witnessed are not natural, it didn't even make the fans on my Graphics card spin, the sim didn't skip a single beat, very slight flickering judder with fast head movement but the immersion just overwhelms small stuff like that, roll on DCS2 and oculus CV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spugnut Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I am impressed to say the least - this is without doubt the most amazing free update I've ever had for any software ever. Prettier? Check. Faster? Wasn't expecting, but check. So impressed I purchased another module to support the devs? Check. Lt. Commander Block: Every aerial photo and recon report indicate a defensive arsenal in the D, and perhaps negative C, categories. There's also some anti-aircraft squadrons.

It was silky smooth. I pressed ctrl-pause to see if I could see the framerate in the rift. I could and it was 150fps on the su25t evening landing scenario on high settings.
