I can't get my FPS above 25!

[wmar67]

I've got a proper weird situation here.

 

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x

32GB DDR4

Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+ with 8GB GDDR6 RAM

2TB 970 EVO Plus V-Nand M2 Drive

 

 

When I run DCS - same mission everytime - I get 23-25fps. When I run the same mission with a load of settings turned down, I get 23-25FPS.

 

That's being reported by both DCS and D3DGear.

 

Anyone got any ideas why that might happen.

 

I'm dropping things like textures from High to low, heat blur from high to low - all the standard things. Run everything almost maxed out - 25FPS. Run most things turned down or off - 25FPS.

 

The game looks fantastic and if I wasn't being told different, I'd say it was running much higher FPS - there's just no drop and it's silky smooth and looks amazing with everything turned up.

 

To say I'm confused is a bit of an understatement.

 

Thanks for any help

Check if Gsnyc is turned on.

Thanks Eaglewings - where will I find that?

 

I don't have an nVidia card. I have a Radeon

Check graphic settings section in dcs.

Not sure what it is called now, I believe it Vsync or Gsync. If it is ticked, can lock your fps to a certain number.

Should be this one, switch if off:

Do you get the same low fps on the menu screen? Try to hit alt+enter and see if it improves.

You may want to post a pic of your dcs setting screen.

 

Use flat shadows.

Here you go - and some news. I turned off SSAA - over 100 FPS!! WTF is SSAA and why such a hit?

 

 

This makes me wonder - first off, were MSAA and SSAA fighting each other? Second, is there any need for both? From what I gather, SSAA is better than MSAA which is better than FXAA...surely setting one should disable the other - yoiu know - for idiots like me?

Super Sample Anti Aliasing - essentially you are doubling your resolution with 2x so you were playing at nearly 4K resolution.

On a non 4K monitor - that makes sense!

 

Thank you

Why fix what works? ;)

Sounds like 25fps was real but I'd never called it smooth.
