PJG Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 My rig runs the F-18 pretty decently right now. Will the F-14 require more horsepower? More RAM possibly?
Cobra847 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Slightly more, but unclear until final optimization done. Works fine in VR currently despite optimization pass not done :) Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Slightly more, but unclear until final optimization done. Works fine in VR currently despite optimization pass not done :) How about in comparison to the Viggen? That runs absolutely butter smooth. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
mpdugas Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Slightly more, but unclear until final optimization done. Works fine in VR currently despite optimization pass not done :) What are your VR frame-rates that make for a "fine" experience (i.e. what settings give what performance)?
Cthulhus Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I'll use it only on VR and hope that the perf will be good too.

Pikey Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Hopefully Nick or team can answer this, but specifically a VR question on readability of the RIO's displays. Most displays in DCS are clearly readable, less so than without, but still not an issue. But there are some examples of certain modules (not through fault of their own) have readability issues on some of the smaller details. The F-14 RIO displays, especially the raw radar data, appear to be vulnerable to this. However, I would have thought the same about Viggen, as a comparison, it's radar return is somewhat small but by friends and I are OK with the visuals on it in VR. How does the F-14 handle VR for these details? ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
NeilWillis Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I'd say Cobra's comment regarding optimization covers all these questions - too early to know perhaps?
Pikey Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 No it's a sizing constraint with real dimensions, not a performance question. Since he said he's tried in VR then it shouldn't be too early to know how the lines look on the TID, Neil, because those dimensions wont change, it's a fixed cockpit dimension and the graphics have been available since last year. I'd say Cobra's comment regarding optimization covers all these questions - too early to know perhaps? ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING *
NeilWillis Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Perhaps, but until everything is finalized, display resolution in the cockpit may not have been determined. Who knows? The devil is always in the detail.

Cobra847 Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 We target 45fps on a 1080 as "acceptable" VR performance. EDIT: It's not as smooth as the Viggen currently. That is the target. I think we'll get there. Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

I think we'll get there. Sounds very good. A cat that runs as smooth as the viggen might get some (still not very smooth) hornets grounded...

I think we'll get there. I am not planning to use VR the next time but have to go with a monitor at 1080p resolution. Will i be good in the future with a 1070Ti ? cheers

Reflected Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 45 FPS, as in, with full settings? I have a 1070 only, then again, I lowered my gfx settings considerably, so I get 45 in all cockpits using the Rift. I really hope the F-14 won't bring it down to 30 or less, because 30 is just not enough in VR. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Moafuleum Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Processor, RAM, and use of an SSD are all important factors in addition to the graphics card. SSD is obligatory. I'm goint to use a AMD 2600X and 16GB Ram for now but if necessary, i stock up. I'm just not willing to spend 800€ for a graphics card
WarHawk72 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Looking forward to my 10 fps on the ground and 30 fps in the air. my poor 15+ year old PC struggles a lot these days...runs the F-18 fine i hope the F-14 is around the same, i all ready play with everything on low as it is.
GVO Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 SSD is obligatory. I'm goint to use a AMD 2600X and 16GB Ram for now but if necessary, i stock up. I'm just not willing to spend 800€ for a graphics card Is SSD that important? I went to buy one in a shop and they told me it wasn't needed except for faster loading of a game?
cercata Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Is SSD that important? I went to buy one in a shop and they told me it wasn't needed except for faster loading of a game? You can't have the whole maps on memory, so there are items loading after the initial one, while you are flying ...
jskibo Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Can't wait to try this on my PIMAX 8k VR which should arrive shortly before the Cat. Might have to take a month off work!
Banzaiib Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Can't wait to try this on my PIMAX 8k VR which should arrive shortly before the Cat. Might have to take a month off work! You'll need to work to pay off the credit card bill... because you'll need a 2080ti to run it :D
jskibo Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 You'll need to work to pay off the credit card bill... because you'll need a 2080ti to run it :D Will let you know in a few weeks, I'm 317 and they seem to have got the first 100 out the door
BuzzU Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 The F/A-18 has a problem with shadows and doesn't run that good. If the F-14 draws more that's not good. As an example with the same settings, I get 30 fps more in the A-10c that the F/A-18. Buzz
CheckGear Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 DCS has always run good on my computer. My problem is the load times. They're to be expected, but I feel like I spend a lot of time on DCS just waiting for screens to load up or a mission to begin.
