scampaboy Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) I’ve made a new topic because I didn’t want to seem that I was belittling peoples problems with performance. I am one of the people who have been perturbed about loss of performance over the past few updates. I have suffered a few problems since my return to the hobby with visuals, a lot of shimmering stutters and the problems we all know about. My system specs are i5 9600k not overclocked 32gb matched Klevv ram 3600 Pallit RTX 3060 storm x (single fan) with afterburner auto overclock MSI gaming pro 390 mother board NVME and ssd for OS and DCS etc. I was getting annoyed with shimmering and the last link in the chain for me was to change my monitor, I found a good cheap 4k benq monitor in CEX and grabbed it with a display port cable with the intention of running it at 1080. Obviously I got it home and tried to see if I could run DCS in 4k on my existing settings and I was pleasantly surprised that it ran at 25-30 fps but it was stuttering due to overwork after a few minutes flying. The visuals were stunning though even on those lower settings. So I set everything to 1080 and obviously now I wasn’t happy because I had just seen 4k I decided to try at 1440 not expecting much luck either but was pleasantly surprised again to be able to run stable 60fps. When I make a hardware change I usually start on medium settings and add eye candy from there on, I found at 1440 I could get away with 2x MSAA and the better visuals made me ignore the shimmering that remained, I could use 2x MSAA and it would be same as though I was using 4x at 1080 if that makes sense. Pictures speak better than words so I’ve attached some here so you can see my settings in DCS, NVidia. I will attach a track file for the mission I used to test (please excuse my bad distracted flying) I’ll try and get some images later and probably add to this post at a later time. I could probably supply a log file if it’s of any interest to anyone. I dropped on these settings by pure luck and there is no scientific/logical process to how I arrived at them, I just think they may help someone who has a similar or the same hardware. And I’ll ask again please ignore my shocking flying (I don’t need advice just understanding) And I forgot the photos …. this is my specs I’ll insert Miz file and track when I’m on my computer DCS settings Nvidia Second page nvidia Edited October 30, 2021 by scampaboy
