Silver_ Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Today, is it better to have it activated or not? I've tried both ways and I don't really appreciate the difference in DCS, I've also tried too with variable synchronism and no changes. I ask this because they say that it is better to deactivate it but the posts where I have read it are very old. The tests are with MT and in VR with an RTX 3090 24 Gb.null1.273 × 853 Edited August 3, 2023 by Silver_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been running with it on for a couple of weeks and I see no obvious benefit nor degradation in performance as a result. 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Apparently both HAGS and Game Mode have come a long way since their first inception. I have an AMD system so I don't have HAGS available, but for example Game Mode gives me an extra +/- 15% performance. Quite welcome in VR, I'd say If you don't notice a difference between having HAGS on or off, I'd say leave it on? Other games that you play might benefit from it... 2 Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS "HIGH" preset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmanbird Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Hi Raven, is it not available because your gpu is an AMD? I wasn't aware this made a difference. In VR, turning it on now makes a notable improvement for me which I mentioned here. However, it could be only AMD cpu users and / or WMR headset users, or maybe CPU's with the 3D cache seeing the large benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmanbird Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Oh, well thanks for sharing that. it does seem there is a fairly recent preview driver that supports it (23.5.1?) in May 2023, or has it since been removed again from the very latest drivers?

HoBGoBLiNzx3 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'm thinking it will make a bigger difference once they release Vulkan. If my limited understanding of HAGS and Vulkan are even remotely right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackd, I'm pretty sure the only thing Game Mode does is run everything else in the background at low framerates to minimize the CPU load. If you have a modern PC with, say, 8 or more CPU cores (or 6 really fast ones such as a Ryzen 5 7600X) then it probably makes no difference either in DCS or anything else. You can try turning it on or off as you wish, I've done so but never really noticed any difference.
