DCS A10 Beta Performance Question

[Migo]

I finally got A10 today and immediately started benchmarking. The GPU has no impact on the FPS at all. My HD5850 is used 30-50%. I remember someone saying his GTX480 is used 100% by DCS A10, that can't be true if my HD5850 doesn't has 50% load with 16xQ TSAA/16xAF at 1920*1080. The settings with an impact on performance are water, visib range and civ traffic. The other settings didn't have any impact on performance for me.

 

I wonder why the fps dropped so much in comparison to Black Shark. With nothing going on in front of me I always got 80-200fps, in A10 the fps are around 40-50fps maximum. At accelerated startup procedure training the fps were really going down for me when looking to the right direction and because I know my CPU is bad ass, I wonder how your performance is in that situation. I get around 9fps with Visib Range set to "high" 13fps on "medium" and 28fps on "low".

 

Do you think the performance will improve when this module will be officially released ?

What I am about to say has been said MANY times before. This is a beta. It is unoptimized. In the final product, you will see FPS improvements.

You think so ? They would have to redo the whole engine to make it utilize more than 2 cores.

from what Ive read Nvidia is best for this sim (I think it even utilizes sli)as the catalyst drivers arent up to snuff for this sim yet, I would love to see quad core support as well

Not only will it be more optimized, but more operational.

 

Currently a look toward downtown "Lav Vegas," (As the map now shows it) will

yield a slide show, no matter how smokin' a CPU/vid combo you have.

 

Yeas, it is a beta, and yes, the internal testers have already seen improvements.
