Sporadic Stuttering

Ive tried so many things I have lost track of all the changes I have tried. But Process Lasso has set DCS to only use P-Cores and not the E-cores. I have also set DCS to have CPU priority. But I never noticed any change between before and after process lasso.

I have also change something in registry to force never have Parked Cores. Not sure what that does but before that change, lots of cores was parked. But now no cores are parked. 

 

Yup disabling core parking is good, and wasn't flagged in the analyzer so looks all good there. Remove the Process Lasso stuff though, you're reducing what your CPU has available for performing certain tasks. Given that you mentioned you noticed no difference you definitely don't need it.

I noted also you're on version 572.60 of the Nvidia driver. There had been reports of performance issues with these latest versions on 50xx series cards and people have been rolling back to 566.63. You could use DDU to remove the driver prior to installing another version to ensure that all remnants of the previous driver are removed. You mentioned you have tried older driver versions, not sure how far back you went so though could give that a shot as well.

Turn off SSLR as well in DCS settings, this can be a performance hit with little benefit.

Delete your C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\fxo and metashaders2 folders. These will be recreated, may be slightly longer load time etc. first time around as they get recompiled, but will be a clean start.

Check also and try disabling the below in Windows if you haven't already:
* Game Mode
* Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling

After performing the above replicate the issue again and drop another log file.

Hi!

Yeah I tried 3 different drivers, back on the latest again. No diffrence between them in DCS and VR. 
Changed settings to your recommendations, but still getting the stuttering. Havent had time to reinstall Windows or look at stuff in BIOS. Most of it is running in auto and XMP profile activated for my rams.
