Help regarding optimisation

[Irishlad200000]

Hi

 

I am having a dilemma! I can get steady 60fps on current settings until I fire up any campaign! Then nose dives to 40!

 

I have the following specs

 

PC

Intel 6700k @ 4.5

EVGA GTX 1080ftw

32 ram

SSD

4K ASUS screen

 

Does anyone have an up to date guide for 2018? I know there are lots about, but the are quite dated now!

 

Have tried downscaling and the results look bad! I know 4K is asking a lot! I will wait until the RTX 2080ti comes down!

 

Any advice much appreciated! Especially if you have similar hardware and have a workaround!

 

Cheers!

At the moment I'm forcing DCS to 60 fps and can hold that fairly well in most situations.

 

autoexec.cfg (options.graphics.maxfps = 60) It is better for my system with Track IR

 

I run SSAA x1.5

MSAA (OFF)

 

NVIDIA control (2x supersample)

 

The big thing here as you have mentioned (4K) is very hard on any system.....That's why I'm at 1440P G-Sync still, eye candy ---- FPS balance.

 

Your going to have to lower "things" down or try dropping to 1440P (How does it look at 1440P ?) I guess not real good if not at native res...

 

EDIT: Civ traffic I set to low or off normally....

Hi David OC...how do you get FPS to lock at 60 using this method? Everytime that I have tried to set FPS at 60 with the autoexec file, the FPS displayed in DCS will show some number in the 50's.

That setting simply caps the maximum framerate, which some have reported helps with smooth gameplay while using trackIR. Maintaining 60 fps is still a matter of tweaking settings for performance.

 

2080Ti will still drop into the 50's @ 4k with max settings and flying close to the ground.

 

Which a 1440p monitor with 1.5ssaa = 4k res pretty much.

I understand that part but this happens even in situations where I am getting FPS in the 120's+ unlocked....still shows 50 something FPS when I use the maxfps=60 autoexec.

Not sure why brianjmac..? Something must be affecting it possibly....

 

Do you use this full line below in the file?

 

options.graphics.maxfps = 60

 

This is what my pc looks like CPU - GPU - FPS when locked.

 

No Overclock on GPU and only @ 4.8Ghz CPU (Not even pushing near max CPU/GPU to hold 60) That's the point tho right, so she has headroom and makes Track IR smoother.

After last OB update, seems like I have lower FPS also. I was OK before with my settings, but now its almost impossible to play.

 

I didnt changed anything. Why is that?

[Irishlad200000]

Death Angel you might have a point! That’s when major issues started for me!

I dont know what is happening, I was playing without any problems before that patch.

 

Maybe ED has changed some system requirements to high?

 

If thats true, its so sad...:(

[Nero.ger]

have to a agree, more stutters in since the last OB patch :(

It would be nice if some of the devs would com into this part of the forum and explain why performance is getting worse.

Seems that game optimations are of low priority - strange considering the amount of users struggling to get smooth game play.

What is that software you are using to show cpu / gpu stuff?

I create the autoexec.cfg with that exact line and my in-game FPS shows it locked at 50.

That lools like the OSD from MSI Afterburner, its a great tool.

You can decide what data you want to get displayed.
