oboe Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) I have eVGA GTX 1080 Black Edition. INSTANT ACTION-Su-25T-Free Flight at MineraInye Voby, Preset=HIGH, MSAA=4x, 1920x1080, Vsync OFF: GPU usage is 99-100% and FPS is 61. I tried using RyzenMaster to do an all-core overclock to 3.9GHz, and saw no change in the numbers. Normally my 2700 sits at all-core clock of 3.35 MHz. I thought DCS was highly dependent on CPU speed so was surprised the overclock made no difference. I guess the 1080 is my bottleneck, no matter the clock setting of the 2700 CPU? My result is a little lower than I expected/hoped, with my 1080's performance between the 5700 and 5700XT, lower than a 1070Ti, and the 1080Ti being around 35% faster then the 1080. Baffled how Sniper34's 1080 can perform so well; better than the two 1080Ti's listed. Thanks for this thread!

oboe Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 What about your Nvidia driver setting? Thanks for that suggestion, Cy-27. I checked nVidia Control Panel and found I had made some changes to some settings for DCS. I took a snapshot of the settings for future reference and restored to default settings. My FPS improved to 62 FPS, still at 99-100% GPU usage.

oboe Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Amazing. Maybe you should try another version of the Nvidia driver. That's a fair suggestion. I went to nVidia's download section and did a driver search for my card - found I had been using driver 4141 version dated 11/20/2019. I updated to the latest WHQL version, 4587- dated 4/3/2020. FPS still at 61-62, but GPU usage is now at solid 100%, no longer fluctuating between 99-100%. I have also tried MSI Afterburner and increased both Core and Mem clocks by +200, but it makes no difference in my FPS.

Cy-27 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) I use the latest 2.5.6 ob version. Today I test a borrowed RTX2060 6GB which default boosts at 1860Mhz. F-18 River run: 51fps GPU usage 98% Su-25 free flight: 62fps GPU usage 97% My RX5700 result: F-18 River run: 50fps GPU usage 98% Su-25 free flight: 61~62fps GPU usage 98% The RTX2060 test result is almost the same as a AMD RX5700 at defalt 1750Mhz.

derneuemann Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 We need a mission, a map, a certain location at a certain height etc. and then a lot of different GPUs that are being tested.

virulosity Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I think a track file is needed then you can replay on everyone's machine. I have a Core I3-8350K and Rx Vega 64 overclocked to 1.6GHz, getting around 65fps on river run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derneuemann Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 This is why I suggested this But unfortunately that is only your wish, which I share with you. But nothing more. But you could also create a thread in the forum, to which a file is attached in the first post, for example a mission (river run for example). Plus a how to, Example: Map of the Caucasus Low-flying mission. Three flight models (F18, Su25T and F15 for example) Approx. Flight altitude 100 feet, speed 350 knots Settings preselection high The benchmark (with Fraps or similar) is started at Waypoint 1 and then goes for 60s In addition, a short video of how the flight should be (tracking the terrain for example) Then the benchmarking user must provide the values for Resolution once 720p for CPU test, then 1080p and 2160p, or VR with resolution. Then the fps values for average, min fps and max. That would help a lot. So that you could set good values. Only I currently lack the options for mission creation. I am fit for benchmarks and tests, but the mission editor is still hard new territory for me;). Then record the whole thing as an instruction video ... Maybe someone volunteers? Then you could talk about mission design. Of course, there should be many AI units on the way, so that the CPUs are also required. It might also make sense to create two different missions for this. One with high CPU load and another for high GPU load. Best regards I5 13400F, 32GB DDR5 6200 CL30, RTX4070ti Super 2x 1tb m.2 (PCIe4.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wali763 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 At what clockspeed is your i7 running? Maybe new faster RAM will do the trick? I do not understand this. I thought, if both your alike GPUs are maxed, CPU/RAM dont matter. Putting a faster CPU into a system, where the GPU is already maxed will not give higher fps. Or is my understanding wrong?
