Frame Rate Crawls only when I fire Rockets at City buildings

[izt_is]

Hey guys, I've just installed black shark 2.

 

I run all the highest settings at 1920x1080, with Tree Shadows off and 4XAA

 

Specs:

i7 860

12Gb DDR3 Ram

GTX 560 Ti Factory OC'ed

Windows 7 64bit

Latest Nvidia drivers

 

The game is generally smooth all the way, I didn't check the fps.

 

But whenever I shoot rockets at city buildings, the frame rate slows to a crawl (I reckon below 8fps) and stutters like a slide show.

 

Do you guys know what settings I should reduce to avoid this? (although I guess I usually don't shoot rockets at buildings, this was just something I found out at random while trying the Instant Mission....)

How fast is your CPU? That's a 2.8 from the factory, and that is a bit slow for DCS. Overclock? It looks like people can get 3.6 or more from that, and DCS should run pretty smooth with that.

 

If you cannot get any more speed out of your CPU, you might consider setting distance at medium (presuming you have it at high)

Yeap it's a 2.8 when all 4 cores are running and 3.2 when a single core is running.

 

Is it really the CPU? Never thought a quad core i7 would have issues even if the clock isn't > 3.0 Ghz....

i7 and i5s are more than enough. it's the game engine that's outdated not the cpu.

 

there's no need whatsoever to overclock an i7.

algorithms written in the game require to be setup in multi-threading(forcing more than one core.) environment...which isn't possible with the code therefore you face that problem.By the way my friends i was wondering if you set the priority of the game to Above High from the process list in the task manager doesn't that help to avoid that problem?

 

I'll have to try this. Thanks for the suggestion!

Even though they are regarding A-10 it's the same engine so...give it a try
