Performance - Repeat of previous maps....

[SimonR944]

Question - 

the release of Syria and SA both saw massive issues with game performance due to the fidelity of the maps. 

Has any development time gone in to ensuring this isn't a repeat of these releases? 

How will it differ to the other maps in terms of engine/coding etc? 

I'm excited for the map! but, very concerned if it's just going to can the map within the first release....

ED just released a patch that improved performance on all maps(Except SA).

Some see moderate improvements, some have seen huge improvements including on Syria or over giant cities like Cairo.

Agreed! The performance improvements have been great… but these maps

have been out for some time  just hoping Afghanistan isn’t going to be same… performance sucks for 4/6 months

Will be interesting to see, especially since Afghanistan is Apache country and the Apache is still the most demanding cockpit to fly in performance wise.

We won't know until it releases, but the tech they used to improve the other maps should be baked in to Afghanistan from the start.

Change your GPU. I went from 8Gb 1080 and 50 FPS at 4K, to 16 Gb 4070 Ti Super and 200 FPS at 4K, all with a lowly i7 9700K and 32 Gb 3466 MHz RAM.

The 30xx cards are rubbish - so bad that at times they get worse performance than my 1080 did (which is why I skipped the 20xx and 30xx cards).

1080 really is a card that really punches above it's weight.

Not really valid for me, since I fly VR and so flat FPS tells me little. 

I can fly with every single option on max in flat and crush the FPS. 

My 3090 has 24gig vram. 

And still doesn't change the fact Apache is the most demanding cockpit.

Just wondering if this map not having the water/sea/ocean layer in the background, will improve its performance compare to others.

Wouldn't Nevada be the same? Or does it have the ocean layer in it's background?

99% positive nevada for the water layer, so it must be for rivers and lakes too

The water being uderground has the same hit on performance as the lake on the other side of the map. No calculations and rendering is done if it's not visible surface.
