HiJack Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Also check out bios change Hyperthreading to ON. Seems to work for me and it is a easy test.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devrim Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 On or Off? Some one says if you set it Off, somehow you'll get rid of stutters?

HiJack Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have had hyper-threading disabled all the time before but after overclocking to 4.6 i got these small stutters on Nevada and CPU really struggling with the map. After enabling hyper-threading in bios the stutters is gone and I have also maxed out all settings and get frames 40 - 120 depending on situation. It can of course be something else also changed so I will test the hyper-treading disabled again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 14, 2016 ED Team Share Posted January 14, 2016 I know some are tired of me saying this... 8GB RAM is minimum for DCS, I would recommend upgrading to 16GB for a better experience.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 14, 2016 ED Team Share Posted January 14, 2016 You have a GTX 980ti but only 8GB ram? If you upgraded your RAM you would not have to compromise.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 14, 2016 ED Team Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) My opinion is 16GB for flight sims is a must, there is a lot more going on compared to " games " DCS specification clearly states the minimum and recommended spec to be used. but anyway, having a very nice gpu like the 980ti and not having 16gb RAM is selling yourself short :) Minimum system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i3; RAM: 8 GB; Free hard disk space: 60 GB; Video: 2 GB RAM card, DirectX11 - compatible; requires internet activation. Recommended system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+; RAM: 16GB; Hard disk space: 60 GB; Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX780 / ATI R9 290 DirectX11 or better; Joystick; requires internet activation.

I've just upgraded from 8 to 16 and raw rendering performance hasn't changed at all, obviously. However, my 2.0 finally doesn't need to use HDD swap file (in single player, 'cause in multi, this map can apparently eat ANY amount of RAM people throw at it), so the risk of heavy stuttering is almost zero now. Truth to be told, 2.0+Nevada is the only application on my PC that swallows more than 3 + 8 (VRAM + RAM) and I was thinking whether doubling memory only for this single map would make sense.

gazmonalpha Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Just a note of interest if i fly the nevada take off mission which is in the dark the stutters are back, I have installed 20gb of 1600 mghz corsair vengeance memory and this has limited or no effect over my original 6gb 1600 mghz memory, so the 16gb must for this game seem wrong. core i7 OC 4.2 and a GTX 980 ti 6 gb card + 20gb of memory and still DCS 2.0 Nevada stutters....frustrated ?? surely cant have to keep turning more settings down, depth of field is simple vis is med, shadows is med, theres something wrong somewhere im sure and it cant be hardware relayed totally any more thoughts guys?? cant think how i can eliminate these stutters!!

Art-J Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I wouldn't say 16 is wrong, as it keeps Your system off using Windows swap file during Nevada missions, but rendering itself is a business between game code, CPU and GPU, more RAM won't help here much. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
