flavnet Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 Before the 2.9 update I was playing DCS at 3840x2160, MSAA 4x, SSAO on, SSLR on, and all settings at maximum (except chimney smoke density set to zero), everything was smooth as silk. Great! Then.... came 2.9. With the same settings as above I now see my past actions in slow motion! I'm really angry. My system is based on the i7 13700KF, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3080, DCS is installed on a 2TB NVMe pciexp4. P.S. DLSS sucks.

flavnet Posted October 22, 2023 Author Posted October 22, 2023 Flappie thank you for the reply. I followed the instructions listed. With the 4x MSAA configuration (my previous great configuration with 2.8), the 2.9 remains unplayable. If I adopt the configuration with DLSS, the situation is significantly improved. I can play decently at 3840x2160 with DLSS balanced and 0.6 sharpening but... the DLSS is horrible: it mixes up all the details and the images have horrendous definition, furthermore there is an annoying ghost effect on all the indicators, especially the digital ones, which make them illegible. I remain sad.

I remain sad. If you were happy with your performance beforehand, you don’t need DLSS upscaling. Just use DLAA instead of MSAA for slightly better performance and much better picture. You shouldn’t have any ghosting with this. "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

Solution flavnet Posted November 1, 2023 Author Solution Posted November 1, 2023 Hi everyone! In order to help those who, with a hardware configuration like mine, have had graphics performance problems with version 2.9, I attach the image of the graphics options page with my current settings, the result of many tests. Now the simulation is really fluid - even with many subjects in action - and, from a graphic point of view, I think that the SSS option (after the latest update) brings great realism to the scenario. The defects of the DLSS have been largely resolved (ghosting is greatly reduced, although to a small extent it remains for FC3 aircraft). Ultimately, ED performed to its usual very high standard and DCS remains the king of aerial simulations! 1
