Performance on Iraq map or DCS World 2.9.14.8394. Performance Testing!

[ThorBrasil]

I did some performance tests on each option. With everything on low, as shown in the screenshot. My machine hits a constant 150 FPS in the mission available with Apache on the Iraq map. Of course, inside the cockpit, which is my objective.

When testing an option, I only modify it and the rest remains as in the screenshot.

Example: When I set the water to high, the DCS hits 140 FPS and the rest of the options are the same as in the screenshot (Low or off).

I activated Shadows from top to bottom because the options in yellow depend on the shadows to work, the same for Motion Blur, which is in Blue.

Terrain Objects Shadows was tested with all shadow options activated at maximum.

The options that are not described in the spreadsheet were not tested because they do not affect performance.

I made it to help me see which settings consume the most resources.

I hope this helps in some way. Thanks!

Some settings also produces higher impact on low altitudes. Major example being shadows from 'default' to 'flat' can improve more than significantly the performance above large urban areas and dense forests. One place in particular was: 35.800941, 45.231598 North West of Sulaymaniyah between the mountains. Somehow the 'default' shadows were causing major dips in performance there.

Is there any chance you can update the post to point out where in the map the samples where taken from? I don't own the Apache, but would need to open DCS ME to see where the mission starts.

Good post.

Good post.

It was in the city of Baghdad with the aircraft on the ground. Generally, a large city is the place that consumes the most performance in low flights.
