SatThuVoBui Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Very recently, I have noticed a performance hit after about 40 minutes - 1 hour in flight in the Ka-50. Upon starting the mission, I can observe the sim runing consistently at 60 FPS on the tarmac and in flight. However, after a while, my performance would drop significantly down to 40-32 fps. I know for a fact this isn't because of a larger amount of processes to render as a result of combat, because I'm simply flying around by myself with nothing else going on. After I quit the mission and restart it, I have only 28-40 fps on the tarmac even though it was running consistently at 60 only a while ago. Where it gets interesting is when I restart my PC to see if it has any affect. Once I reset, windows can't even boot and I get an error message that reads "CPU fan error! Press F1 to run setup." From what it sounds like, does anybody think it's plausible my CPU cooler is getting ready to hit the bucket? Unfortunately I was being dumb and didn't take any screenshots, but the error message looked a lot like the picture attached. According to what posters from other forums have mentioned, this seems to be a problem with ASUS motherboards upon installing new coolers, but I know for a fact this isn't the problem since I've had this cooler coming up on over a year now, and it shouldn't have any effect on my performance in game if there wasn't something going on hardware related. If it helps, here are my specs: Processor: i7 6700K @4.0ghz GPU: Gigabyte G1 gaming GTX 970 Windforce Mainboard: ASUS ROG Maximus VII Ranger RAM: 16 GB DDR4 RAM CPU Cooler: Antec Kühler H2O 950 Game settings are likewise attached.

AtaliaA1 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 How much Ram is on the 970 you have? This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig. Until I got the tinker bug again i7 920 @3.6Mhz 12Gig Corsair XMS3 ram 1600 Nvidia 760 SLi w/4Gig DDR5 Ram Intel 310 SSD HDD 160 Gb + Western Digital 4Terabyte HDD Creative SB X-Fi HD Audio Logitech X-530 5.1 Surround Speaker System Dual Acer 32"Monitors. PSU 1200 w Thermaltake Win10 64Bit.
bkthunder Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 DCS has a memory leak problem for quite some time now, so I had the same performance drop till CTD, but this wasn't related to the GPU, but to normal RAM. I "solved" by installing 16Gb from the 8gb I had before, so now the game hovers at around 12-13 Gb after about 1 hour of flight. Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s
