[RESOLVED]FPS drops in external views / visible screen re draw in cockpit

[Andy t]

System:

i7, windows 10, DCS installed on SSD, 32GB RAM, Gtx 1080Ti

3440x1440 resolution, gSync monitor

 

DCS Settings:

Visib Range: ultra

Res of Cockpit Displays: 1024

MSAA: 4

Depth of FIeld: Bokeh

SSAA X1.5

Clutter: 250, Trees: 43%, Preload: max

Antisotrophic: 8X

Vsync: Off

 

Just did a clean windows/DCS reinstall.

I am encountering the following issues:

When I am inside the cockpit, the framerate is OK for the most part. However, when maneuvering, I occasionally experience "visible redraw" for lack of better word.

Also, as soon as I switch to external view, the framerate drops visible and the game feels sluggish.

I experimented with having preload radius at max and at 50%.

Is there anything I can do to make the game run smoother at external views?

Hi

 

Try turning off Depth of FIeld: Bokeh

 

it can be fps intensive

It appears my issue was incorrect refresh rate. My monitor is overclocked to 120. However, in the nVidia control panel, I had 60 selected. Changing refresh rate to 120 in nVidia control panel appears to have fixed the issue.
