Performance issues after the latest update

[30mikemike]

Hi guys...

 

Is anyone experiencing significant drops in performance since the latest update? I certainly am.

I've had DCS running butter smooth and locked at 60 FPS to make TrackIR smooth but now after the latest update I'm getting stutters. I've noticed that the FPS is dropping down to 58 sometimes too which it never did before.

 

Getting annoyed with this now....

Lalt+enter didn't fixed it ?

I have noticed a significant increase in stutters as well after the latest update. It’s difficult to pinpoint the cause because they happen randomly in all phases of flight and combat.

I think it has fixed it actually...Although before I did the alt/enter I rolled back the Nvidia driver to 416.34, the previous one. I'll install the latest again and see what happens.

 

Bit embarrassing if it was the alt/enter that was needed! oops...:(

Have you tried lalt/enter?

Have you tried lalt/enter?

 

The whole LALT/ENTER thing and checking/unchecking the full screen box in settings has always confused me and over complicated things. I currently have full screen unchecked and do not do the LALT/ENTER thing but I could try to see if it does anything.

Exactly the same with me mate, I’ve never done it. Mainly because for the last few weeks it’s been running absolutely perfectly. Anyway, it seems to have stopped the stutters and it appears to be running how it was. Frames locked at 60 and TrackIR is smooth again. I’ll keep my eye on it though!

You welcome guys :)

I just turn vsync off in DCS options and use Fast Sync and a 59 fps cap in nvidia inspector, far far better than vsync with non of this FPS halving nonsense.

Where do you setup a 59 fps cap? Frame Rate Limiter?

[petsild]

Easily in Nvidia Profile Inspector or RivaTuner Statistics Server.

I turned off v-sync in game then I turned on the fast sync through the nvinspector/nvcp + lock frames at 59,7. It doesnt work for me. It does not lock fps...

Very strange, one factor might be because I have fullscreen optimizations switched off for DCS.exe maybe you could try this too, otherwise I don't know what could be causing that.

It works like a charm now. I was applying new settings to DCS_Updater.exe profile in NV Inspector somehow. I created the new DCS_World profile and attached DCS.exe to it. Setting limiter to 59,7 gives me full synchronization?

Yes but I now actually use the Frame Limiter V2 at 59 (according to blur busters forum this method uses 59 + 1 framebuffer so is more precise and less prone to stutter) also Max pre-rendered frames set to 1 helps a great deal.

Thanks for great advise Mustang! I will also give it a try :)

thank you so much,

 

so just to summarize : you lock fps to 59 with N.I. + gpu to MSI mode isint it? :thumbup:

Yes frame limiter v2 at 59 and MSI mode set and vsync off in DCS options.

Looks like Frame Limiter V2 is only available in version 2.1.3.6 of NV inspector which is quite hard to find online otherwise there is no option to set frames to exact 50. What's MSI mode then ?

I have the same thing. Got the fps maxed at 60. Ignoring explosions I used to reach 60 fps without any problems. Since the latest update it dropped below 50 ... I tuned down mssa a bit to restore performance.

 

What is the deal with lalt+enter? I always run fullscreen ...

Without Pressing LAlt+Ent in the sim, You will run in borderless window mode and to true Fullscreen.

This has been so for ages now - wonde when they will fix it.

It's further down within the frame rate limiter list, see the image in this post

Mustang, your method works great. Significantly improves performance on my equipment (GTX 1070Ti). I can now set MSAAx2 and SSAAx2 together.
