FLIR - FPS killer

[NineLine]

Can you test you're GPU usage, I've noticed that mine is at 100% on both cards. Even if crossfire disabled.

 

Ex:

Enabled

GPU 1 100% 1120 GHz 1024mb

GPU 1 100% 1120 GHz

 

Disabled

GPU 1 100% 1120 GHz 1024 mb

GPU 1 100% 300 GHz

 

Shouldn't the GPU be about 60% to 80%. The above are examples, but I'm in the 89% to 98%

 

57% here. See attached screenshot.

Here is mine (see Attached Screenshots). You think that might be it, if so what's the fix?

[NineLine]

Something isnt right I think, what it is, I'm not sure... are you doing any overclocking or anything else running in the background? Any weird GPU load with nothing running?

[NineLine]

Weird too, but your CPU1 is almost pegged as well...

 

Here is my CPU usage... maybe its the difference in CPUs? but mine doesnt get as high as yours shows....

What mission are you testing in, I am using a stock Campaign, maybe you are using something with more in it?

Very basic. 6 vehicles on the whole map including the a-10c 1 trigger ai off. I added it so you can see on your box

A-10C Test2.miz

[NineLine]

For whatever reason that one ran my CPU a little harder, but other than that, everything was fine, so I dont think its the mission.

Thats what I thought at first as well, but after an hour of trying many many different settings, the cause of this still alludes me, I still cant reproduce this, my FLIR view has no drops at all.

 

What video card do you use Sith?

Nevermind, saw it. So could it be a vram usage issue? If so, could it be fixed?

GTX 780 Ti

57% here. See attached screenshot.

 

I tested the f-15c and GPU was around 98% and I was getting great FPS somewhere around 75 to 90 with 1 GPU, But if vsync on solid 60 I'm sure. With 2 gpu's with the f-15c FPS does drop, but the issue is a known issue. I'd also like higher msaa with f-15c but the higher above 4x the FPS drops dramatically. I hope the devs can figure this FLIR FPS issue.

 

Question are you on Windows 10 or a not? Maybe I need to reinstall dx11, I just thought maybe it was corrupted by window 10 install.

I am using Win10 as well.

[Manuel_108]

I have Windows 7, no programs running in the background, fullscreen mode on and no vehicles spawned exept the A-10. As soon as the FLIR or MAV displays are on, the game stutters when looking around in the cockpit or while turning.

[whitehot]

I tested it with just one A-10C, no other planes or vehicles. Fps stay 120+ with no displays on. Seem to be reduced a little by turning on CCD camera on the litening, but go down to 70-80 when using FLIR. As a sidenote, many structures look wrong in FLIR: a bridge for example was displaying only its supporting pylons but not the "road" that paves it.

 

I guess that a reduction in fps should be normal, yet it should stay in the same values for both using FLIR and CCD.

 

One more thing, mirrors seem to produce the same, if not slightly lesser effect as FLIR, a sensible reduction in fps (and a significant increase in reported VRAM usage).

[NineLine]

SiThSpAwN, can you post every single setting you have (Nvidia, CPU, in-game, BIOS, SSD, etc...), so we can replicate them and try. Also a mission that works perfectly for you.

 

Yeah, strange, by the look of your specs, you almost mirror my system.

 

Here is my nVidia control panel settings, everything else is pretty much default, I run the beta on a standard Black WD HHD. My in game settings I posted a few posts back. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2514339&postcount=47

So given the 'you got it or you don't' circumstances that make this possibly impossible to reproduce, is this gonna be reported and looked at?

I am looking at it, but in order to report to the devs for them to spend some time on, I have to be able to reproduce, so far I have not been able to.

Hi

 

If someone came up with a solution? I also have a big fall FPS whit FLIR! From 100 to 22. Is it a bug or a GPU setting?

 

My GPU - AMD RADEON HD 7850

[Manuel_108]

If this problem won't get solved, I will never ever play the A-10C again, which would be beyond sad.

Please review this log files and see if there is any abnormality.

Solved!

 

After setting cockpit resolution to 256 or 512, you must exit from DCS and start again! Restart DCS with changes is reason.

 

FPS on me with both MFD with FLIR is more than 60.

I applauded you that's a great workaround, but its far from a solution. I can run in crossfire with the settings you suggested and get around 70 FPS with just TGP. That's still a drop from 120 FPS, and With both TGP and MAV its in the 50's. That's the Issue that both of those Camera's are causing a drop in FPS.

 

For those with Single cards my readings were 80 FPS with TGP and MAV Off, TGP turned on 53 FPS and both MAV and TGP 38 FPS. With both MFCD's on MAV an TGP that's a 42 FPS Drop. Yes that's above 30 FPS, but that's a drop over 50%. That's deal able for now. But unacceptable, and needs to be fixed.

 

Now also these numbers I'm giving you is while stationary on the ground, Flying is another all around mess with FPS when those Targeting systems are active.

[=4c=Nikola]

It's not perfect, but it's "playable" that way. Of course it needs to be fixed properly.

 

At my underpowered GPU, it drops from 60 to 50 when use FLIR which is acceptable. Restraining to just one display for flir is pita though.

@raptorsim

 

I have single GPU HD7850 and I have drop only 4-7FPS. Nikola with GTX460 similarly.

 

Your problem is not just my advice, you have the problem "supersampling". Keep "multisampling".

Again I'm running 2 cards I can afford to have my settings higher then one card, the testers for ED have same or similar cards and can have their settings maxed. So the same should be for all of us. I spoke with AMD and the 200 series are able to Handle this new version of DCS on ultra with a crossfire enabled card. At 60 to 75 FPS. As for the supersampling, any less I cannot read the pit text.

Guys,

 

Look at his "GPU2" is at 300mhz, "MEM2" it is at 150mhz.

 

As well as he is running 12x anti-aliasing and super-sampling. On cards that have 2gb of vram.

 

 

Sith's GTX780Ti that has 3gb of vram is running 2915mb in his screen( I do not know his resolution or Raptors) but, I doubt Sith is running 12x AA.

 

Hope you guys get it worked out.

 

Cheers,

Monnie
