Fred00 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 There's something very odd going on. Turning MSAA and anisotropic filtering off completely didn't affect performance at all. Something is bottleneckning the system...

Fred00 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 cpu maybe... Do you mean it's too slow or that it's something wrong with it?
Fred00 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Okay, maybe I have solved the issue. First and foremost, according to GPU-Z my card was running on PCI-Express 1.1. I forced PCI-Express 3.0 (verified by GPU-Z) and after that I got the following improvements: My average fps went from around 35 to 55. My absolute low went from 26 to 40 (though usually it doesn't go below 45). That's around a 55% increase in both average and absolute low fps. I noticed one more important thing: The performance seems to be very dependent on the "visibility range", much more so than other settings. When I lowered "visibility range" just one notch from "extreme" to "ultra" I got the following: Average fps: 65-70 Absolute low: 50 (though usually not below 55) I'm pretty satisfied with this. Everything cranked up except for "visibility range" one step down and the frame rate doesn't go below 50 fps. Edited December 6, 2015 by Fred00
Zimmerdylan Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Had a chance to try it out a bit. Gives me a bit of a crick in the neck, but definitely much better than trying to use the POV hat. I was holding out for the consumer version of the Oculus Rift, but ED has forced my hand with the beautiful Nevada map. I need to see the sights now... There is an alternative to the POV hat. You can go into "Clickable mouse look" mode. It's in the "General" of the controls edit menu. I use it even still after getting Track IR. It allows you to use your mouse to look around. It's much better than the hat because you get a much more natural freedom of movement.
Fred00 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 Still impressed about the guy who got ~70 fps over the strip with a GTX 970. I've posted a new thread where people can post the performance in 2.0. Would be interesting to se a couple more results.
Texac Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I have a GTX 960 8GB RAM and a i5 4590 and it's lagging really hard. When i play DCS 1.5 it is really nice to play because I get like 50-60 fps and i used 5 GB RAM from my 8GB RAM now I have to buy 8 more GB RAM to run DCS 2.0 without any problems. I think... Can someone confirm this? Or do I have to get a new graphic card? Because when i open the Task-Manager and go under perfomance he shows me that im using almost 8GB RAM. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube •

I think your main problem is the graphics card. The GTX 960 is probably too slow to get good fram rates over Vegas. At least on higher settings.
Fred00 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 I just ran 3dMark to make sure everything is okay. The Fire strike test got almost 14,000 in GPU score, which seems to be a good deal over most stock GTX 970s, which is good to know.
Texac Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I think your main problem is the graphics card. The GTX 960 is probably too slow to get good fram rates over Vegas. At least on higher settings. So i need a GTX 970 or a GTX780? What do you prefer.. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube •

It's much better than the hat because you get a much more natural freedom of movement. I usually ended up turning that off in the FC3 aircraft where it was on by default... with both hands already on throttle and stick, I'd sometimes bump the mouse sending my view somewhere random. I've joined the TrackIR ranks now though, and it is working pretty well.
