G2 performance in larger missions vs smaller

[Mavedick]

Hi

 

After endless hours of tweaking my setup, I was quite happy after following several tips from you guys. I flew with steady 45 FPS in F16, F18 and A10C 2 in Caucasus, Syria and Persian Gulf. In my test missions I had a few ground targets that I attacked. The FPS had a small dip in gun runs, but mostly at 45 FPS. The stat in SteamVR stat was mostly green with some orange lines here and there. 

 

I decided to test one of the instant missions (A10C 2 Medium West Georgia Winter) and my heart dropped. The FPS became horrible. Around 30 and the stat in SteamVR was orange and red. I have some trouble understanding this. Even if there are a few more things happening on the ground, I don't understand why this should have such a hard impact on the GPU. In SteamVR the stat will have blue lines of there is a CPU bound issue. I have none of those. I used MSI Afterburner while playing and neither CPU or GPU were at 100% load. 

 

Is it my 16GB RAM that causes this nonsense?

I would bet the CPU is limiting. 

Get fpsVR and get a better idea of what's going on. 

Your CPU and the slow ram are pretty limited for DCS in VR.

I had wrong speed set on my CPU. Update in OP.

 

I will get fpsVR to see. I think it is safe to say that DCS has a great potential for VR optimization. Hopefully it will happen something in the not to distant future. I guess the Vulkan API will help a lot.

 

Not sure if it can be compared, but I can play Half Life Alyx on ultra high settings with no issues. The G2 performance indicator is all green in that game.
