Vel0th Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I have an Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 6GiB RAM, GeForce 8800 GTS and had considerably lower FPS than my friend who has an identical hardware setup and game settings. I asked myself why? The answer was that he had OC:ed his CPU to 3 GHz. DCS is very CPU demanding. After overclocking, the FPS increased twofold. Try overclocking your CPU if changing the graphics settings does little!
Madman777 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 just throwing this out there, but how often do you perform maintenance on your pc? a thorough disc defrag, cleaning and defragging the registry, getting rid of junk files etc. can make a huge difference in performance. seriously, I was playing DCS the other day, and I had some FPS/stability issues (crash), and I never had those problems before. So I figured id do some cleaning, and BOOM she's running like she did on the day I put her together. DCS is running nice and smooth again. I would like to add to this. Get compressed air and clean the dust out of your PC as well. I do it at least once a week (i have a dusty house). i7-12700k, 32GB Ram, RTX 3060 12GB, TrackIR 5, Lots of SSD Space, etc etc DCS World - All the cool modules
ericinexile Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I haven't read this whole thread so sorry if this is a repeat. I had (rather my mac had) Realtek codecs for on-board Intel sound. After I installed a SB soundcard I initially forgot to disable Realtek. Unless you really know your system its not a bad idea to check your Device Manager to make sure only you soundcard is dealing with audio. Made a big difference on my Mac. Smokin' Hole Smokin' Hole My DCS wish list: Su25, Su30, Mi24, AH1, F/A-18C, Afghanistan ...and frankly, the flight sim world should stop at 1995.
