Do I have a fps problem?

[Brausepaul]

Hi,

 

I setup DCS and flew several missions in my SU-25T in Caucasus region. After fiddling around with graphics setting and reading here and over at Discord to optimize my settings I somehow have the feeling that my performance is too low. I find it difficult to provide numbers as there is no official or community wide accepted benchmark to run (or at least I could not find any). As the SU-25T mostly flies down low it just does not feel very smooth. So, I am not asking for solutions but to give me a helping hand to check if there is a problem at all or if the performance I experience is within expectable limits. I am no computer illiterate but the absence of a standard to rely on bugs  me out I cannot give reliable numbers now, but I am pretty sure I am way below 60 fps according to the ingame fps counter. I do not play VR but on a standard monitor at 2560 x 1440. I use OpenTrack and AITrack for head tracking. The NVidia panel delegates settings to the application, DCS' graphics settings are attached.

 

So, my specs are:

i9-9900

64 GB RAM

Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2080 Super with 8 GB

Samsung 860 EVO with DCS

Samsung 750 EVO with WIndows 10 Pro

 

Any hint is appreciated.

You use both ["MSAA"] = 1  and ["SSAA"] = 2 - especially the latter is quite heavy on the card but using both is pushing it. Also this ["SSLR"] = 1 eats some performance but you'll have to check if it makes a difference.

Su-25T being low fidelity systems older module is very light on PC resources so the performance relies mostly on the map, place and mission.

Thanks, I will look into that.

Some feedback: I disabled SSLR and lowered SSAA to 1.5 and I usually have not less than 60 fps in my SU-25 at Caucasus.
