Snappy Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Hi ED, are there still scheduled performance improvements coming for the marianas map? Compared to the other maps, it still runs very badly in regards to FPS ,even when lowering shadows or switching them off. However it seems, there havent been a lot of significant updates to the map after release and it has been been quiet about this map for quite a while now. The scenery is very beautiful, but the performance really reduces the immersion, unless you have an extremely powerful machine, but even high end users seem to report significantly less frames. Do you still have any performance improvement updates planned for this map? Anyway, thanks a lot for making the map available for free.

Proteuswave Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'm also interested if there are any performance improvements planned? I can put all my setting on the lowest and its a slideshow but I can play Syria for example which is a demanding map in its own right without much issue on medium to high settings. 1 Intel i7 6700 3.4Ghz , 32gig ripjaw ram , Asus Strix RX480 OC 8gb , Samsung 850 Pro SSD, Asus ROG VIII Ranger Z170 Motherboard.

twistking Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 i also hope, it can be optimized further. i want to like the map, as it is really beautiful and a nice change of scenery, but the performance impact really takes away from the experience. i only fly around the northern islands, because they are less taxing, but even there i get less frames than on every other map i have... 5 My personal wishlist after half a decade with DCS: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/184968-my-personal-wishlist-after-half-a-decade-with-dcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 bump ! Still wondering if ED has figured out what's wrong with this map. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouky1991 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Flying Ka-50, I stay barely above 40 fps on Guam, (Flat screen, RTX3080, 10600K and 32gb ram) visibility High, shadows high and default, the rest of the settings highish. That's pretty unaccaptable performance with this rig. And I definitely won't be buying Black Shark 3 update, when it will most definitely lock me out of this map with it's millions of polygons.

Reading these forums, I remember the time when people were writing about buying 3070, 3080, and at extreme 3090. Now it seams the way to go is to go straight to 4090. I will try replicate your experience with more modest hardware... Laptop Dell G7 7700, I7 10750H, 64 GB RAM, 39 FPS, with 99% above 32.

SilentSierra Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 This map looks so beautiful but it's too low FPS. I wonder why some small islands are so heavy. I have a GTX 1070, I know, I should have a GTX 1080 to run better. Next year I will upgrade to a RTX 3070 Ti, I expect to run well with high settings.

aceviper Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Turn down scenery lod...im on a 3090 but play marianas at 0.8 lod for smoother fps. You will not notice the difference in scenery. The multiple buildings at very high detail are a significant fps hit.

Gierasimov Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Try in MT and see how it works for you. I had 0 issues with this map on 1440p screen with 3 MFDs (800x600) since it was released. I guess we would need to compare settings: (C:\Users\giera\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Options.lua) ["graphics"] = { ["BlurFlatShadows"] = 1, ["DOF"] = 0, ["LensEffects"] = 3, ["MSAA"] = 2, ["SSAA"] = 0, ["SSAO"] = 1, ["SSLR"] = 1, ["ScreenshotExt"] = "jpg", ["anisotropy"] = 4, ["aspect"] = 3.4444444444444, ["box_mouse_cursor"] = false, ["chimneySmokeDensity"] = 5, ["civTraffic"] = "high", ["clouds"] = 3, ["clutterMaxDistance"] = 1500, ["cockpitGI"] = 1, ["defaultFOV"] = 78, ["effects"] = 3, ["flatTerrainShadows"] = 0, ["forestDetailsFactor"] = 1, ["forestDistanceFactor"] = 1, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["heatBlr"] = 2, ["height"] = 1440, ["lights"] = 2, ["messagesFontScale"] = 1.5, ["motionBlur"] = 0, ["motionBlurAmount"] = 1, ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "fa18chornet3", ["outputGamma"] = 2.2, ["preloadRadius"] = 150000, ["rainDroplets"] = true, ["scaleGui"] = 1, ["sceneryDetailsFactor"] = 1, ["secondaryShadows"] = 1, ["shadowTree"] = false, ["shadows"] = 4, ["sync"] = true, ["terrainTextures"] = "max", ["textures"] = 2, ["useDeferredShading"] = 1, ["visibRange"] = "Extreme", ["water"] = 2, ["width"] = 4960, Intel i7-13700KF :: ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI D4 :: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB :: MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio :: VKB Gunfighter MK.III MCG Ultimate :: VPC MongoosT-50 CM3 :: non-VR :: single player :: open beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOOL Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 The amount of VRAM this map requires is insane. Unplayable in VR unless you reduce textures. For a 3080, Syria runs beautifully in VR high/high textures with Taz and Barthek mods, but this tiny map this requires +25% more VRAM. ED, I know this is free, but definitely this needs serious improvement.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
