What maps and/or modules seem to perform best?

Hey everyone,

 

So after fiddling with settings and overclocking I have gotten my CV1 to run DCS decently on some pretty outdated hardware (6700k, 1070ti, 24 GB RAM on an older SSD). The graphics are set almost as low as possible with 1.2 super sampling in OTT. It’s not pretty, but it works well enough to have some fun. 45 or 90 FPS depending on the usual factors. Not much blurring or ghosting, but there is a little bit and especially online.

 

Anyways, I’m sure I’ll upgrade soon enough, but until then: has anyone gone through the different modules and maps and done a general survey as to which ones run best currently? I’d love to buy a new map as I only have NTTR, but I am afraid they won’t run well. Do the Flaming Cliffs planes run the game better because they might be simpler and therefore less resource intensive?

 

Thanks for your time/thoughts on this,

 

Chris

Hi, i used to play o Amd Fx 8350, 16gb ddr3, and R9 390, and Lenovo explorer WMR. The performance was in 30ish FPS without shadows, except with Mig 15 Nevada dogfight quick mission that was always locked at 60. Motion reprojection used to be off. Also some mission with Mig29 from flaming cliffs over sea on default map would give me 60fps. M2000, F4 F18 and F14 would have lock around 30, mig21, helicopters and ww2 planes even below 30. F16 would from time to time jump to 60. I would often fly a night mission in Av8b, so you can turn the shadows off and for me it was smooth.

Thanks Bpremus. I am actually getting it to work OK with my older specs and no frills graphics, but sometimes the planes start ghosting (immersion killer). I think I will play around with the Mig-15 and Mig-29 since I have both. I may have to load NTTR again too. Thanks again.
