j9murphy Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) Most of you probably already do this, but I'll put it here to help others out... Before I start DCS (or any of my flight sims) I bring up windows task manager and check the overall cpu and memory. For my system, I should see an average processor utilization across all cores (first column) of about 1-2%. If it's higher than that, I know something is running that i need to kill. I sort the list by cpu to see what needs to terminated or closed. Memory on my system should be about 15%. The thresholds you use will vary by a variety of factors, but I probably find things running that are either consuming more cpu than normal, or shouldn't be running at all about a third of the time. Sometimes its a windows process and you just need to wait it out for it to do its thing and quit. This helps reduce variation of performance between sessions and keeps me from chasing my tail because I think the sim has changed in some way, but really it's my system. Because VR is so sensitive to CPU interruption, this helps ensure that the game is getting all it can. Edited January 12 by j9murphy 1
