Has anyone else found that this mod is mostly not needed in the latest update? I've got significant fps gains, particularly in the Hornet and 'Hog. Viper is still worse, but still a good 10-12 fps higher than previously. I can only put it down to the "Fixed a bug leading to a drop of performance when rendering a water surface" line in the changelog - I fly a lot of persian gulf...

Did you get fps gain through this update? I did not notice any significant change. What is your setup? You don't use a shader mod? That 'fixed a bug... water surface' is very interesting. Am wondering why I did not notice this, or was it a bug that was introduced a few OB releases back when performance took a nose dive?

Has anyone else tried running DCs with NO shader mods since the latest update?

 

Anytime there's an update, I like to see how it runs out of the box and usually resort back to one of the popular shader mods.

I switched off all mods then updated, then repair install. Since then I have only enabled Open FSR v 2.1.1 & Reshade. My gpu frametimes are as high as I recall when I was still using simplex shader mod. Running SVR @ 90% and getting 10-12 frametime is Causses.

Interesting, when you say 90% for SVR is that the "renderScale" in the openvr_mod.cfg or something else?

Sorry, meant SVRSS (Steam VR Super Sampling) for clarification, I run global at 100% and DCS 90%

Haven't been able to pull off 90% at these numbers since a few updates ago.

Well since you asked:

        Frametime in ms  Delta From Baseline  
Ver Test Baseline FPS GPU CPU GPU CPU  Changes
2.7.9.17830 124   61.33 14.72 6.90     Baseline Standard Settings no MODS, 100%SVR

There is very little overall difference in performance between, running at 90% and implementing any of the currently  available shader mods, Taz's has just over 0.6ms improvement,  that has to be offset against the one time "cost" of compiling the shaders, which is not present in Simplex (for similar performance) , but overall I doubt you would see the difference in terms of raw performance especially if you are locking at 45hz, between either of the options (Simplex or Taz/Kegety) but Taz/Simplex is faster than 90% by about 0.5-ms and about 5fps more than running at 90%.

As to which is better visually thats a matter for the observer, and I'm not sticking my sensitive parts in that bed of razors, as its hard to get really objective data about that sort of subjective information.

Personally, I'm leaving towards Simplex, as it doesnt have the "up front" cost and delivers very similar perf.  HTH

Thanks for that test.  Always wondered the performance difference but don't have the benchmarking tools.

Obvious difference between Simplex and Kegety's is IC.  So if IC is important, then there's really no choice.

Another reason for using original Kegety's over Simplex is for its features.  I first modified the haze and realized it required recompile anyway.  And to me, Haze is worth the up front cost.  So I decided to use the original.

And there are other features Simplex removes like Albedo texture sharpening, NVG scope adjustment, etc.  Below is difference between Simplex and Kegety's only.  No other mods.

I'm not biased over one or the other.  Both are great options.  Just providing information for people to make right choice.

What about your CW+IC variant ? It doesn't have any upfront cost either and works in Multiplayer

hey @ShaunX I honestly havent used it in a while, given the very narrow difference between simplex and Taz's variant i doubt there would be very much in it in a practical sense... given the images that @Taz1004 shows, i went with his version in the end as i dont do much MP, and i can always go simplex if i need to

so a lot depends on your perspective ... this is more a return to 2.7.6 levels of performance, than it is an absolute improvement...

Is this mod still relevant/beneficial to VR?

I get a DX11Renderer Error when starting up DCS after applying this mod.

It's both, most likely you need to repair the game and/or clean fxo and metashaders folders. Personally I use Taz1004 version of the shaders and 3dmigoto 11.4, works pretty good for me flying fighters, getting 72 fps for Quest 2 most of the time. There are some issues with CBUs though, it looks like it's fixed in 3dmigoto v12.

It's a couple pages up this thread:

Apparently 3dmigoto 11.4 is not available for download any more, only v12 is:

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-lefuneste01/apply/

 

For v12 you should go with Speed-of-heat shaders (here on forum) or Simplex (in DCS user files), you can find them pretty easy here. I'm on the phone, so try to searching yourself please. 😉
