G2 Advice for tuning for the F14 and F16

[Burt]

I have no problems with the F18 Hornet but when I switch to the Tomcat and F16 my fpsvr graph goes to red and drops to like 20-30 fps and very stuttery and unstable. And if I go back in the Hornet it remains that way until I restart everything. What do I need do to fly these 2 jets without losing my smooth play/clarity, I mostly play Multiplayer/BFM.  Will my new rig i9-10900K -RTX3090 and 64gb ram be the fix for this issue. 

 

Res. 48% - closest to Native Res. 2160x2160 

SteamVR @ 50 - 54%  --- Sometimes Lower

Motion Smoothing : Enable

Legacy Reprojection Mode : ON

I dont have this problem with either the 14 or the 16; have you checked your page file size? i recently had to increase it to cope with some map/plane combos (I'm also on 32gb, of RAM).

 

Its difficult to say if moving hardware will fix the problem because we havent really found the cause...

Can you please explain how to do this, is this info. in your 3090 settings for 

g2 post? If possible thank you.

no its not, its more a basic windows skill but Control Panel -> Panel -> System -> Advanced Systems Settings  -> Advanced -> Performance -> Advanced 

 

I have mine set between 32 and 64Gb on my operating system drive.

Oh wow I don't remember doing any of that and will definitely check it this evening. Thank you !

by default it can be set "too low for DCS" ... at least it was for me for Syria and the F-14 .. but the 18 was fine

[Burt]

Yes the Hornet was fine for me too. The Tomcat and Syria ... forget about it ! runs terrible fps drops to 18-23, terrible stutters too. Okay will do thanks again.

I just watched a few videos about this and its interesting. So you have your initial size @32000MB and Maximum @ 64000MB ? 

[speed-of-heat]

yes

Hey Burt

Try steamvr at 20%

Per app dcs at 244% or whatever close to native 2160.

You get more jaggies but its definitely less of a strain on the system.

 divide by 5 multiply by 2.4 is basically just under 50% native resolution, with just an extraordinarily prosaic way of achieving it ....

Well do aceviper as soon as I can get a chance thx!! Thanks again speed, my new rig comes tommorrow so I'll be starting from scratch again. I'm debating if I should run DCS on main drive M.2 NVMe or put DCS on its own SSD drive EVO860 1 TB. I'm not sure how all that works yet with a game being on a separate drive and running steamVR, Discord, MSI Afterburner ect. I will end up copying dcs on this rig and putting on the new one as I was recommended to do. I know it's probably simple but I have never done that before, I have been running DCS on main single NVMe 2.5 drive for a year. So, I'm doing research on the how to for dummies thing beforw I attempt it. 

 

Thanks !

I have mine on an SSD, and the OS on NVME

Yes thats what I'm thinking of doing also. I would think that there is less background services stuff running on a separate ssd drive. But l'm not sure how it all ties into one ...haha ! I never went this route and have only been at this for almost a year now. But I will def do some research first. I'm also wondering if I can put this new ssd Evo860 in this machine and copy dcs on it and then put it in the new machine. I have the cable to do this with SSD side to USB, is this possible?

[speed-of-heat]

not quite sure what you mean, but yes iwould think you can copy it to a USB, but it will take a while usb is slow
