Sparc Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 im looking to purchase my first map. my pc specs arent the greatest and im running vr. i7 9700k oc 5.0ghz rtx 2070 super ram 16 gb all ssd rift s i run the default caucasus map pretty well on high terrain textures at 80 fps. i just dont wanna end up with a map thats unplayable since refunding probably isnt an option here. i read that NTTR is pretty easy on low\mid tier rigs. thanks either way.

O7 You know you can try them for free? Also, how's the Marianas doing? That one is totally free, and the most heavy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparc Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 yesss it really is a bastard of a map and surprises me too because they are just islands. but i just now activated the hind as i hear that its a hog to run on vr. im planning to buy the apache so if i can manage the hind on a "forgiving" map i think my apache "should" be ok. im going to activate the NTTR since thats what i read that people say its the lightest. or at least one of the lightest maps to run. fingers crossed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I would recommend Persian Gulf if that fits your taste better because it's quite well performing too.

Dangerzone Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Between PG and NTTR - I'd go with the Persian Gulf. More options there with the sea, islands, etc - and I think PG and NTTR are pretty close tied with each other in 2nd place behind Caucasus when it comes to FPS from what I've observed.

lobo Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Smoothest two for me are NTTR and PG. Worst is Marianas.

ECTAE Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) fps (only map, no ground units, single player) and not free, NTTR > PG > SA. Then Syria,Channel and Normandy perform pretty much the same. In MP, best map still NTTR and worst is Syria. But, for me, best map is Syria by far. Not huge fps loss but the map is just awesome. Good for both helis and fixed wings. Edited January 20, 2023 by ECTAE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKULA_OPTIMUS Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Definetly, not Marianas xD Syria is one of the best for me, (on medium visual range distance settings), it´s pretty well optimized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Sorry, even Syria is very good for what it is, NTTR is still the top when it comes to best fps. And The Marianas is not the worst, either. VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

Aquorys Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Nevada is sparsely populated, it's mostly desert and mountains. The only area where it's a bit on the heavy side performance-wise would be around downtown Las Vegas and the Harry Reid International Airport there. PS: By the way, my hardware specs are very similar, but with an NVMe card instead of SSD disks and 80 GiB RAM. Runs quite smoothly most of the time. More RAM helps a lot, with DCS multiplayer sessions, the system sometimes runs with some ~45 GiB RAM in use.

Raviar Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I think Nevada is giving the best performance, it is beautiful in High Alt and it is the worst in low Alt (it didnt receive any update in last 6, 7 years though !) Syria is the most beautiful ME region and worst performance currently Channel is amazing, the performance is really nice and its extremely beautiful Persian Gulf has acceptable performance and graphically is way better than Nevada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
