Strange CPU Usage

[Shibbyland]

Hi All,

Haven't put this as a bug because I don't know if it is one. I've just trialed the NTTR map considering buying it. 

I'm just noticing CPU usage I don't get on other maps. I'm getting as high as 100% CPU and 100% GPU usage simultaneously then CPU usage will drop back to circa 40% then back up to 100% again. Just seems odd, I can't recall seeing 100% CPU usage at any other time.

My specs:

i7 9700k, RTX 2060 super, 32GB GSkill RAM ,DCS installed on it's own nvme SSD with 500gb space remaining (50%).

Hi, please record a track and attach it here (button "Save Track" in the debriefing menu).

Hi Flappie,

I had trouble replicating the issue but this track should show some of what I'm talking about. It appears to be spikes in CPU use. Generally it's staying at around 36% but it'll climb, peak at 90-100% stay there for a few moments then drop back to 36%.

Am I right in thinking 100% GPU usage is normal?

Each update, it gets harder and harder to run DCS where with no change to settings I'm now down to 25FPS at times whereas I used to be stable at much higher rates. This could be part of that technological creep that's leaving me behind.

Actually this second example is probably better, few spikes to 100% in this one.

 

Thanks

Thanks. No such issue for me in the first minutes of the track (the Tomcat crashes to the ground after some time - caused by bad track replay).

I'd check the logs for compiling textures. If you just got this map then ran it this could be attributed. NTTR is normally one of the most performant maps in DCS. Read the dcs.log.
