captflyby Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Updated: To hopefully answer a few more questions I didn't think about when first making this post. Hope it will help. __________________________ Recently my two tech guys each got the new EVGA designed 2080Ti video cards with the liquid cooling option. I had them hook up my HTC vive and install DCS 2.5 to test. __________________________ My machine right now: Intel Core I7 4790K 4.36 GHz 32 GB DDR3 1866 MHz Gigabyte Aorus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 2x Samsung 860 EVO 1TB in Raid 0 Running DCS 2.5.29167 latest beta version. Using Caucus map. Tested with Su-25T Frogfoot aircraft module. Single player, instant action - do not remember which one. No shader mods. DCS settings are IP 1.0, Steam 100% All DCS settings are higher that "VR" but lower than "MED" With this I get a steady 45 fps in each eye (shows up in Frame counter as 45 fps), smooth video, but you get to watch the trees "grow" as you fly over. My tech's machine as tested today: Intel Core I7 8700K 5.00 GHz 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz Evga Geforce RTX 2080 TI FTW3 Ultra Hybird Gaming 2x Samsung 850 EVO 500GB in Raid 0 Running DCS 2.5.29167 latest beta version. Using Caucus map. Tested with Su-25T Frogfoot aircraft module. Single player, instant action - do not remember which one. No shader mods. Other than that all is the same, DCS, matched all DCS settings. Running DCS 2.5.29167 latest beta version. DCS settings are IP 1.0, Steam 100% With this he got a steady 90 fps using all the setting I used. With "HIGH" setting everything was very smooth and clear at 45 fps. I have a PIMAX 5k+ coming (some day). I'll compare the results of it when it arrives. I am also looking forward to the ED VR patch with the terrain engine. Might make the 1080Ti I have now something to hang on to. Maybe...time will tell. Edited April 7, 2019 by captflyby

dawgie79 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) I have a PD of 1.5, all settings High except shadows, MSAAx2 and get smooth frames. All on a i7 8700 non-K, GTX1080 non Ti, 32GB 2666, and SSD. Nothing OC'ed. No MP, only SP. Missions, Campaigns, different terrains, all smooth. Rift VR. Hardware is 1, managing those resources is 2, software config is 3. I see a lot of people only focussing on 1. Edited April 7, 2019 by dawgie79

Indeed! I've been running with a PD of 1.5 and MSAA at 2x. With a GTX1080 to push it, (non Ti as well). I do invoke OTT prior, as well as using the shader mod. DCS is working quite well for me.

But still, eagerly awaiting the announced optimisation in the terrain engine, which is said to increase fps by a lot. ;)
