Map Performance?

[Neil Gardner]

This is not a question I have had to ask on DCS yet, though I am frequently having to ask it of P3D or FSX, even X plane 11 3rd party developers occasionally. That is: your screen shots of the latest territorial add-on, airport or whatever, looks great, but will it grind my system to a halt unless I turn the settings down so far that the beauty I fell for hardly remains? And in this case I ask: the Persian Gulf map looks absolutely bloody gorgeous, but in all the detail that it provides will the settings have to be turned down so low in order to perform sufficiently well with our complex models, that its advertised beauteous detail will no longer be there. So far my DCS maps have not prevented me obtaining smooth performance balanced with good graphics. But there is a heck of allot of wonderful detail on those cities in the Gulf map (like Las Vegas I guess and that works well), have the Beta testers nevertheless found that performance is as good as the other maps. Thanks you

Performance depends on your own machine of course, but I am seeing about the same performance as NTTR around 55 to 100+ fps even in the built up areas.

[Neil Gardner]

Well that would be excellent, thanks for that

Matt stated in his Map Live Stream that performance was very good.I believe he's running a 6700K with a 1080ti

Yes, it’s all looking very positive, I wish release was immenant.

So, after some patches and further development on the Persion Gulf map has happend since its initial release: how does the performance stack up against NTTR nowadays? I am asking since i have an AMD 7870 with 2gb of vram. NTTR runs fairly alright with very high settings when flying through open terrain, but the Vegas area is a bit taxing naturally. The ''new'' Caucasus on the other hand is pretty much unplayable when flying helicopters at lower altitudes and only great when in a jet at high altitudes, if i don't drastically lower my graphics settings in dcs, that is.

I'd put NTTR as the best performer, followed by PG, then ,Caucasus and lastly Normandy. Normandy needs speedtrees badly as well as a little TLC re water textures which are still not where they once were.
