Best settings between performance X good graphics (at 60fps 1080p) and head tracker smooth for GTX 1060 6gb users. [UPDATED]

[felipesm]

Hello everyone,

After a couple of months trying every possible settings you can imagine to get a good graphics and performance at 60 fps i finally reach it.

OBS: I tested it for caucasus and PG maps, and it should work fine for NTTR and WWII maps although(I don't have these maps). For Syria and marianas forget it.

DCS OB Version 2.7.9.18080

My Specs:

• Core i5 9400F
• GTX 1060 6gb
• 32gb RAM
• Windows 10 PRO

NOTE: You'll need of the reshade to use just one filter very important to enhance the graphic quality.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, you will need to install this mod for improve your perfomance too. ( https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3317762/ ) @Luke Marqs

Make exactly these settings as shown bellow.

1 - Set to ON game mode on the windows

 

2 - Set to ON Hadware-accelerated GPU scheduling at "Graphics Settings" on the windows.

3 - Open the NVIDIA control panel and choose Global settings tab, then set the shader cache size for 5gb or more.

4 - Change to "Program settings" tab and find to the DCS installation path on your PC (DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe). Then set exactly as shown in the prints screen bellow for all options.

 

NOTE: If you are having tearings, consider set vertical sync to FAST.

 

5 - At DCS settings choice these options

 

 

• NOTE: Textures: It depends what jet you are using, the f16C uses a lot Vram in HIGH option, you can test between medium and high
• Shadows - For more performance set it to medium, i prefer High.
• SSLR - To enhance the graphics ilumination set ON, better perfomance OFF. Try to test it.
• Full Screen as desired
• Terrain Shadow: very importan in FLAT

6 - Make America great again download of the reshade version 4.9.1 HERE . Then install it on DCS and chose a unique filter as shown bellow. It's very important to enhance the quality to the combination with the native nvidia FXAA, for decrease the AA blur and increase the sharpness. (Do not use the luma sharpen in reshade in this guide!!!!!)

NOTE: Do not mark the box "Perfomance mode". If you need help for reshade installation or configuration, please watch some video on youtube.

7 - Close DCS and open again.

That's all.

I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if i helped you.

Sorry for my english and thanks.
