Anyone getting 45+fps over Dubai in VR?

[Jamesp1]

I have the default VR settings with the following adjustments:

 

Visible range: Extreme

Global cockpit lighting: On

Supersampling: 1.2

Trees visible range: 100%

Civilian traffic: high (this setting make no difference to my fps whether I have this off or high, yet I'd have thought my system would be CPU limted).

 

This seems to give me 45 fps everywhere (with ASW) on any map except over Dubai: There I get a very consistent 22-23 fps, or 30 if I reduce the visible range to 'low'.

 

My PC is an i5-2500k overclocked to 4.7ghz, 1080 overclocked by 200 Mhz clock and 300mhz RAM, and 16 GB of 1600Mhz RAM. So it's not that new but it still decent.

 

Is anyone getting much better framerates over Dubai?

Yes mostly 45FPS however with drop frames depending on where and what I am doing, I fly mostly Gazelle and low (except when diving off a building). I'm thinking the performance hit is DCS as I have notices a performance hit on all maps, Normandy the most. It's early days and I would expect there will be some optimisations coming.

 

Low flying the grass clumps in PG map seem to cause issues turning down grass and clutter seems to affect FPS. Flying over structures, buildings rock and water seem fine with good smooth motion and constant 45FPS. But not those sparse grass/tree areas.

 

I'm running:-

 

PD @ 1.1

MSAA @ 4

AF @ 2

Vis Range Extreme

 

Which is what I ran pre the latest update and a drop frames (stutter) was rare and to me looks awesome in VR whilst keeping GPU usage ave 70 to 80% with spikes. Once GPU usage hits 100 % FPS starts to drop off from 45FPS with ASW on.

 

i75930 @ 4.7Ghz

1080Ti @1.97Ghz

64GB DDR4 @2.4Ghz

2 Intel 500 GB SSD's

 

YMMV

The average system should be able to run at 50-75% of options maxed and a top system should be able to run options at or near 100% maxed out...otherwise why have those levels of options available? However I don't think there is a system that can come close to running DCS options maxed out. Why is this? Is this the way it is with most other high end games or sims?

Yes, I originally had those settings. I was just playing with visible range so gave another fps figure for the low setting. I agree high is probably the best compromise though.

 

 

Civilian traffic I'm not that bothered about but I've tested it carefully several times and do not see any difference at all to my framerate even though I'd have expected my pc to be cpu limited.

That visibility range is going to kill your CPU.

What´s the goal range for FPS on DCS?

45 or 90?

For DCS it's 45. I can't even imagine getting a steady 90 fps in VR. Maybe vulkan api will make it possible.

45 fps for me with 1080 ti and 8700k. Limiting factor is cpu. It's 100% on the main thread in an empty mission with view distance at high. Caucuses is about the same, NTTR typically gets 90 fps outside vegas though.

Thank you pimp, I got 90 on Assetto Corsa so made me wonder why frames are "low" when flying.
