Okay, these are my final settings...for now. They seem to allow a constant 60fps even when flying low and slow through the middle of Dubai and looking around like the hounds of hell are chasing me :)

 

Based on another thread in this section I've downloaded MSI Afterburner and will be watching to see what I should upgrade next. My first thought is the GPU and I've got my eye on a 1080TI though it won't be soon. For now I think the current settings are okay and will certainly allow me to train, learn the aircraft and her systems/weapons in single player. It will likely be months before I'm multiplayer combat ready (a lot of months) so I'm not rushing into a new GPU.

Looks like you've nailed it ! Enjoy :)

Try disabling Vsync in DCS but engage it therefor in RivaTuner, it's said to have the least impact if set there. Can't harm to try. I lock my 60fps in RT as well.

I finally just OC'ed my pc.

 

The constant low fps, stutters. You have to take in account this game is constantly evolving, so each year it will put your "new hardware" in its place.

 

Using a i7 4770k stock @3.5mhz w/ 1080ti, and 2400mhz ram(left ram at default speed 1333mhz) i would get 20-30fps at a airport.

 

OC'ed cpu from 3.5 to 5ghz and set memory to only 2000 also enabled XMP in bios, now i was able to sit 50+ fps on the ground, while in the air 100+

 

unfortunately i cannot afford a $2k monitor for gsync 4k, etc so OCing was my only hope if wanted to keep my settings high in dcs.

 

This would be some of the things to relive the stuttering but just OC'ing to anything over 4ghz will net you imo a improvement worth doing. You may find also by searching around w/ people w/ your same setup enabling/disabling to stop stutters. I have a HOTAS warthog and by just turning off the LED on the throttle it will stop the stutters when using the slider for zoom in/out, pain in the ass b/c i have to use "target software" to disable them every time i play DCS.

Very very interesting. Mine are usually off anyways but I will give that a testflight, LED on/off.

 

 

I knew the days when LED are backfiring would come :megalol:

 

 

*Nice OC btw !

I'm very wary of overclocking my hardware. I have it on good authority that this risks wearing it out much faster. You have a much more powerful setup than I do and consequently higher settings, I suspect. Look above to see my current settings. I'm able to get a consistent 60fps with those settings even in graphically demanding scenarios. That will do for now until I buy a 1080TI :)

 

Bitmaster, I have no idea how to activate Vsync in RivaTuner.
