DCS 2.7.9 performance report

[MattCri]

Im referring to this 

and the others few 2.7.6 to 2.7.7 performance degradation discussions, i was one of the affected guys reporting.

 

After today's update the issue is solved for me, i will do some more detailed testing in the next days but i have at least 90% the fps i had back in 2.7.6.

Im curious of other people reports and i would love some tech explaination of the solution from the developers (if possible)

Anyway, big thanks for listening to us!

That is great to hear. Thanks for feedback.

 

[LordLobs]

Same here! Got my pre-2.7.7 FPS back! Yeaaahh!

[Lange_666]

Not quite, i still have around 2-4% performance loss compared to 2.7.6 (which i still have installed so i can compare directly).

This update is excellent for me - all my fps back and perhaps even a bit more on first impressions. You don't really appreciate what you have until it's gone - many thanks ED!

Got my pre-2.7.7 FPS back!

[Boosterdog]

Back to 2.7.6 levels. 

All good ( in that respect).

[davidrbarnette]

Way, way better. Like a different game. Great work!

WELL  DONE Eagle dynamics  !!!!!!!!!! FAST  AND  FURIOUS.!!!!!!!!

Merry christmas.!!!!!

[Lurker]

Thanks for this feedback. I will install the patch when as soon as I get the chance and try it out. Unfortunately the patch feedback thread is closed.

All good for me so far. Not sure how they have done it but its great. Well done ED. Merry Christmas.

[Dzsekeb]

Can confirm as well. FPS seems much better since last patch.

[Miksuu]

My FPS is up 10-20% according to the benchmark comparing to the 2.7.8. Also it's not only the benchmark, on multiplayer it seems that on the ground at least I can get like 30% more fps. Awesome work ED!

[PLUTON]

here also 2.7.9 fps better than 2.7.8
but with the M2000c and the mirrors open
very big drop in fps to the point that the game becomes unplayable
and as soon as I remove them the fps resumes its normal speed

[Mad_Shell]

I haven't properly benchmarked my fps, but in VR it is way smoother and it allowed me to increase my clouds settings, so good job ED!

[ACME_WIdgets]

I increased fps about 25% with 2.7.9 update in haavy MP - GrowlSide (went from 8fps to 10-11fps - yes, my system is that slow)

Thank you ED, good job!

[obious]

Same for me, sitting on the deck of the supercarrier in VR with SS @ 1.5 is a lot smoother for me! Thanks ED!

Good to hear & happy flying !

The main 2.7.9  patch made the issue of the flat shadow render (even when default terrain shadows are selected) maginally worse but returned the fps to 2.7.6 levels. The hotfix took away some of the regained fps in certain scenaros for me but not in huge amounts. 2.7.6 is still a little faster in basic fps but I dont think thats the whole story as the VR players seem to be testifying. If it were a stick or twist between 2.7.6 and 2.7.9 the latter wins hands down for me.

On a lower-end PC, which version is preferable, 2.7.9 or 2.5.6 ?  I tried to roll back to 2.5.5 because my GPU is old, but ED won’t let me log in in that version.  So I may have to revert to 2.5.6 if 2.7.9 is too demanding.

2.5 will give you better performance but it wont give you anything released (modules or core features) in the past 12 months.

That’s OK, I put all settings except Textures on ‘Low’ or ´off’ anyway. And I’ve already bought more modules (and zero during the last 12 months) than I can play with.

 Now downloading 2.5.6...

For me the issue is partially solved. When trying to optimize my FPS I noticed that I get lower FPS with terrain object shadows OFF than with terrain object shadows set to FLAT. Which is weird. Even more bizarrely, the FPS drops when disabling terrain object shadows even with shadows otherwise completely OFF. I wanted to have only the cockpit shadows and flat vehicle shadows enabled, but this issue prevents me from doing so. This is in current stable.

At this moment, which one gives the best FPS  between low and flat shadows on terrain ?

I think there was an issue recently with flat rendering. Was it resolved with the latest patch ?
