VR Perfomance cant get stable fps

[captain_kuwait]

Hello together,

 

I am playing dcs Vr only in the rift. At the Moment i cant manage to get stable fps. When i launch the training mission where you have to take off with the a10 and i am turning right and flying over the city my fps drops to 30. Even worse in multiplayer. I get only 20 fps standing at the Runway.

 

I turned everything off like shadows and trees. Visibility to Medium. Texture Medium. Terrain low. Pd 1.2 . Msaa at 4. aa is off.no mirrors, no civ traffic, water to low.

 

My Rig:

5820k at 4,2 ghz

980ti

32 gig ram

Ssd

 

So many users here are going crazy with the pixel density etc. And they still maintain stable fps...?

 

What am i doing wrong? Am i missing something?

 

I checked my cpu and one Core is at 100% during flying....is my cpu so Bad?????

 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice :)

 

 

Best regards

What Windows version are you running?

[=DECOY=]

have you updated your gpu drivers ?

[captain_kuwait]

Hello,

 

Yes i updated all drivers. I use win 10.

I would think you would be getting better performance specially with Windows 10. Reduce all your settings and work up from there. Do not use Nvidia Control Panel for your graphics settings ( but do set to prefer maximum performance). Use the DCS GUI for your graphics.

Hello together,

 

i think my cpu is to "weak". Whenever the objects counter goes high my fps gets smashed. I tried to edit the graphics.lua and high.lua in order to reduce objects but nothing seems to change. Is there a good tutorial for vr?

 

Best regards

Can you post a screenshot of your graphic settings?

 

With a 6600K @ 4.5GHz and the 980 TI I used to run just fine. With a lot higher graphics settings. Both Open Beta 1.5 and Open Alpha 2.0. What version are you running?

 

I basicly took the advices from this topic: Post by DigitalEngine

 

Only real change I made was enabling shadows int he cockpit... It looks so much better ;-)

 

Your CPU should be fine. Apparantly 4.2-4.3 GHz is the sweet spot for most games including DCS. Much higher you won't get many benefits.

 

Use something like Afterburner to check your load, clock speeds and temperature. Maybe your CPU get's to hot and throttles itself down? Maybe your GPU doesnt really run with the highest clock.

 

Or you have a lot of background tasks which clutter your first cpu thread, running not the most up to date open Alpha/Beta's or your game settings are screwed with your play arround in the lua's.

I agree, your hardware spec is not the issue. My previous spec was lower and was fine for the job.

I tried to repair dcs and now at least in single player i get good fps with the settings adviced from the tutorial. I turned them down a bit more. But still in multiplayer i get bad fps. For example when i join open conflict server my fps drops to 20.

Check for a "tweeking" program/software from your GPU Manufacturer,I have a ASUS 1080 GTX and they have one.It made a difference for me in the amount of "judder" I get flying low over Vega$.

Which is your motherboard and furthermore which is your PCI express slot:

2.0 or 3.0?

On some rigs PCi express slot make conflicts and lower performances.

 

see you

Try to fly a mission with out clouds on..I have the same spec as you accept the video card, mine is not a ti. I find that clouds are big fps killer for me in VR.

[captain_kuwait]

Thank you all guys. I think i figured it out. I focused on showtimes advice regarding the clouds (thanks dude :) ).

 

I tried various cloud settings. 6,7,8,9 are hitting fps hard ( nearly 20 -30fps) . Below 6 and 10 is Fine.

 

That is why i get shitty fps on some Multiplayer servers and servers without clouds like aerobatics are running smooth.
