resolved Stuttering with Supercarrier/F18/Caucuses

[4romeodelta]

I have smooth, 72 fps framerates in all maps (Normandy, Kola, Caucuses) and all modules (F18/P47/Huey) but when I do carrier ops (F18/Caucuses/Supercarrier) the FPS will occasionally jump around (below 72 down to 40 or so) and the VR image stutters. Most of the time I experience steady 72 FPS  with 30-40% headroom remaining on my 4080 super GPU.  The FPS drop and stuttering seem to be unrelated to where I am relative to the supercarrier. I find it odd that the performance oscillates between smoot 72 FPS and much headroom remaining and a random stutterfest.  

Anyone experiencing the same?  Any ideas?

Hi, 

can you attach your dcs log, it will give us something to check, maybe we can suggest some tweaks to your settings. 

thank you

Log  is attached. Experienced three episodes of severe stuttering amid otherwise smooth 72 fps. Thanks for your help!

Hi, some things to try.

Disable Core Parking.

Verify that this is configured correctly in Windows:
Game Mode disabled
Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling disabled
Core Isolation disabled

DCS controls: hotplug disabled

I looked at the log before sending it and noticed the warning about core parking. Downloaded Lasso and checked....sure enough some cores were parked. Unparked them and the stutter is gone !   Thank you so much for the help.
