When you say full screen, are you doing the ALT ENTER each time?

 

For me, stutters aren't caused by DCS settings. I also use 8x MSAA and 16x AS without problems and I can't use full screen due to my mismatched multi-monitor setup.

 

Optimizing the system takes a lot of experimenting and following threads with ideas to try. I know I stopped those constant stutters, mainly from this thread:

Nope, the DCS runs fullscreen natively for me. At first I thought I had micro stutters running on 8GB ram. I updated to 16GB and got a nice performance boost but the stutters were still there. I'll try the fix, I'll report back if it's still stuttering.

Deferred shading and MSAA cause stutters. Turn off deferred shading or lower MSAA. Or wait for patch.

 

I'm still running Georgia. Setting pre-rendered frames to 1 seems to help. Nvidia control panel won't let me set it to 0. I haven't done too much testing but single player seems pretty smooth now. I get some stutters online however :( .

Happy Bug Hunting!

Turning down water from high makes a big difference.Gets 15 to 20 fps back around airfilelds when the fps dips.

16X msaa seems a tad high and could be pushing your gfx card.

Thats an informative Youtube Video! Thanks for the link. Wish there was a way that you did not have to setup the CPUs thru task manager every time you open DCS though.

DCS Runs in Windowed Borderless whic]h looks like a FullsCreen but it is not.. try hitting ALT + Enter to get True full screen..

Maybe some I/O stutter, the game records permanently, loading stuff all the time and all that to a Raid-5 which has a significant access time slow down due to the nature of Raid-5's 3-drive syncing.

 

Try a dedicated SSD for DCS and check again.

 

Raid-5 is not made for gaming but servers and workstations where access time to small files is secondary. If Raid, than do a Raid-1, thats the only Raid that has the same fast access time as a single drive, all other RAIDS have NOT !

I was worried this might be the problem but would my OS have to run on an SSD so DCS gets a speed boost? I hate partitions and like having my default drive my RAID volume. I do a lot of photography and like having my C drive huge. Would plugging in an SSD and only putting DCS on it fix all of my problems?

Tons of Microstutters

 

It will likely fix a few issues, YES!

 

With DCS alone on the ssd is fine, but the other works too if the ssd is large enough .

I wonder that DCS will access information from the RAID volume (like registry idk what else) and would still be bottlenecked by the HDD. Is that possible? I just don't want to dish out some money on an SSD for it to do nothing

Possibly yes, install/move everything to an SSD and use your Raid-5 for storing DATA and not running your OS or Apps from.

 

If you do that, like in servers, get a PROPER Raid controller from Adaptec and 10k or better 15k-rpm drives, summa sumarum 2.000-3.000 Euros.

 

one or two SSD's are WAY cheaper than a real Raid.

 

Intel Raid is not a true Raid. Once you have to do a rebuild you will find out why the bad way.

 

If you have the need for Data Integrity the cheap way, do a SSD Raid-1 with the Intel chip, that is also somewhar speedy and reliable. I use that myself on one of the new "budgeted" servers and I forced it into a rebuild before it went into production to see HOW it performs. It's OK.

 

But a Raid-1 is a simple 1:1 copy whereas a Raid-5 is checksum driven and much more intense. There is no Raid-on-Chip Hardware driven acceleration and last time I had to do it it took 3 days on 3 x 500GB....THREE DAYS !!!!!!!!!!! While it was rebuilding the logical drive the computer was UNUSEABLE.

With a proper Controller you wouldnt even notice that it is rebuilding tbh.

I forgot to add, just in case you need that info.

 

Samsung has new 2.5" SAS SSD's "mixed usage" for affordable money. They are 12G and superior to any consumer SSD. The Controllers are usually PCIe x8 and thus you can smoke a NvME if you just add enough drives. Have a proper board ( X99, X299, new AMD-Threadripper too )with enough PCIe lanes and you can even double or tripple smoke the NvME if your Lanes connect to the CPU directly and not the PCH which itself is VERY limited when it comes to real throughput in workstation environment

 

Bundle those with a 4/8/16-Port Adaptec RoC Controller and you can have true Raid that deserves the name.

 

Still, this is minimum 2 Grand and above for all together, 3+ SAS-SSD + Controller + Cableset+BBU.
