mthatdan Posted September 3, 2019 Author Posted September 3, 2019 1. Afterburner is knowen to make problems, remove it and be sure there is no trace of it in Windows. 2. Remove your GPU driver and all traces of old drivers, use DDU for this, as normal uninstal aint enough. 3. You spec in first post, sayes you have OC "overcloked" GPU, dont its also knowen to give you troubles. 4. try and remove one of your RAM sticks, to see if your problem layes in a faulty stick.. 1. Will do 2. Sure, will try. 3. It is a factory overclocked card, should be stable as is, no? 4. Have run extensive memtest64 without errors. aka Badger X570 Aorus Master, Ryzen 3700X @3.8, 32GB DDR4@3200,RTX1070 Super, GTX 1070Ti, Win 10 Home, HOTAS Cougar, and some other DoDads

KTFBGB Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 We have known factory overlocked GPU's to create problems for DCS in the past. Just for reference, do you happen to have a running list? Could prove useful in helping folks trouble shoot in the future.
KTFBGB Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Download and save the latest GPU drivers to a folder on your desktop. Then run the DDU program. Just makes life a little easier. I can attest to MSI Afterburner causing problems also. Use the native OC software. Especially on new cards it seems like they are plenty because the cards just aren’t as over-clockable as they used to be. I would try turning down your GPU core clock by 50-100MHZ and drop your Memory clock by 20 and see what happens. What temps are your seeing on the GPU?
mthatdan Posted September 4, 2019 Author Posted September 4, 2019 GPU temp - highest I've seen is 65C, average is 60 Last night I updated sound driver, uninstalled MSI Afterburner and cleaned out system registry. flew several flights without a freeze up. I remain hopeful but, since the freezes are not reproducible, I'm not certain. Will continue to test. Thanks for the the advice. aka Badger X570 Aorus Master, Ryzen 3700X @3.8, 32GB DDR4@3200,RTX1070 Super, GTX 1070Ti, Win 10 Home, HOTAS Cougar, and some other DoDads

randomTOTEN Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I'm disappointed nobody has mentioned this yet, mthatdan, turn off aniostropic filtering and MSAA within DCS:World.. these features have been known to cause a massive performance hit for a long time, and I don't believe this problem was ever resolved. We have found success forcing these settings onto DCS via your NVIDIA Control Panel.

We have found success forcing these settings onto DCS via your NVIDIA Control Panel. He’s using a 2070 Super. He can run ultra settings with that card with full AF and MSAA and hardly notice a difference. Or should be able to as long everything else is set properly. Unless something has changed in a month or so, you can not force post rendering outside the game. DCS overrides anything you set outside of the game as far AF and MSAA or FXAA are concerned. Several threads covering this topic. Edited September 4, 2019 by KTFBGB

We have found success forcing these settings onto DCS via your NVIDIA Control Panel. Thanks, I had read that and tried it. No difference in performance. IMHO, it looks better with in game settings being used although, I didn’t try all possible combinations. FYI, my frame rates are 170-190. Of course this is just in the instant training mission.

randomTOTEN Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 well shoot sorry that didn't help... I'll have to try the DCS settings see if they fixed that bug
mthatdan Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 so far, so good. I'll get some extensive run time over the week end. aka Badger X570 Aorus Master, Ryzen 3700X @3.8, 32GB DDR4@3200,RTX1070 Super, GTX 1070Ti, Win 10 Home, HOTAS Cougar, and some other DoDads
mthatdan Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 No more freezing. My trouble shooting was not very methodical but, I'm guessing that Afterburner may have been the root cause.... aka Badger X570 Aorus Master, Ryzen 3700X @3.8, 32GB DDR4@3200,RTX1070 Super, GTX 1070Ti, Win 10 Home, HOTAS Cougar, and some other DoDads
