[REPORTED]DCS Vsync option seriously affects VR performance


some1

Recommended Posts

In theory Vsync should not matter in VR because it's disabled there. But in case of DCS, if the option is left enabled in the game settings, then it severely affects frametimes on my system and cause a lot of stutters.

 

This is with Vsync OFF:

You can see a pattern of raising "spikes" in GPU frametimes, that repeats every few seconds. If there's not enough headroom left, it will cause drops below 45 FPS and massive stutter. 

 

This only happens for me if Vsync in DCS options is enabled and Vsync in nVidia control panel is left at its default "use the 3D application" setting. If the Vsync is globally forced in nVidia drivers for all games, then the checkbox in DCS does nothing and the performance is fine.

 

So for me all worked nicely until I upgraded graphics card to 3080 and wiped clean GPU drivers, which reset nVidia profile to default setting. Since then I've been wondering why the performance in DCS is so bad despite better hardware. Turns out it wasn't the case of bad drivers or some recent DCS update, but a silly checkbox that shouldn't even affect anything.

We will be disabling Vsync while VR is enabled. This will be in a future patch. 

 

thanks

About this I also found that setting vsync to fast in nvidia control panel helps with VR regardless of the dcs setting

I can confirm the vsync problem. Even when vsync in DCS is set to off and in Nvidia control panel is forced off,  FPS are still limited to 62-63 (2D, lowest settings). When vsync is forced to fast (from the control panel), FPS are 150 constantly. The difference in VR is also huge.

Can someone please clarify, since it's not that clear from what is written here. For best performance in VR what is the workaround:

 

1. Uncheck Vsync in Game settings

2. What should the setting in Nvidia Control Panel be set to? Fast, or Use 3d Application Setting? Off?

You can try different combos and see how it performa with your rig I guess? Should be a couple of combos anyway
