FPS Problems

[GriffonBR]

Good evening guys.

 

I'll take this topic to talk about some things that are happening in DCS World and Lock On FC2

 

Since I upgraded my computer to a i5 2500K @ 4ghz + Intel DZ68ZV + R6850 1GB + Corsair 8GB Vengeance 1333mhz to start to play DCS P-51D Mustang, I can´t get more than 20 FPS at DCS World, Fortunately I have not bought DCS Mustang yet just because of this problems.

I´m running DirectX 11.

 

I'm having many problems with low FPS, the game are unplayable.

 

Does anybody knows what is happening?

 

Thanks you

Most of the time the fps is about 40~50 when graphics option is "high", resolution is 1680x1050.

Hey Griffon,

 

Do you have ATI's latest drivers installed? What about your other games, are their performance normal?

 

It's a weird issue, you have a good machine and should be able to play it with higher framerates. When was the last time you had to format? I've had some performance problems in the past, then I found out it was a virus/malware..

 

Hope you can get your problems sorted out!

 

@OFF: Brasileiro?

what kind of fps are you getting on the ground vs. the air? Are you on a multiplayer server? Are there lots of objects in the mission? Is there a lot of AI flying around? There could be several dozen reasons why your fps are "low." We would need more info from you to help you out.

Check your ccc settings for aa and af and make sure they are set to application controlled. I was getting about 25fps in sim and 10-15fps after my prop hit the ground and I was going down. After I switched to application controlled I was around 50fps and 40-45 when about to crash

Hi guys, thanks for the help.

 

I changed my Catalyst (last version) to the 12.2 and as pacotito said and things are running perfect now, but only for DCS World. Now, my Flaming Cliffs 2 and my Il-2 46 are running so ugly without AA and AF. Theres any way to set some kind of setup for these games that don´t mess up the performance of DCS World at all?

 

 

 

@OFF:To armaholicbr: Sim meu velho, sou do seu lado do rio também:) O computador está novo em todos os aspectos, a instalação do meu Windows 7 Ultimate é zero também. Estava tendo problemas muito grandes para arrumar o Battlefield 3 do meu irmão, well, BF3 é um jogo bugado de natureza, mas com os drivers corretos para a minha MSI R6850 as coisas estão normais agora. O problema agora é que fazendo o que o pacotito falou, o DCS World está show e o meu IL-2 e FC2 estão uma coisa pré histórica agora. Eu tentei criar perfis para estes jogos no Catalyst mas não estou conseguindo fazer eles funcionarem.

 

Abraço e obrigado pela ajuda.

If there is in game af and aa settings use those. If not you can make a ccc profile for those games but you will have too switch profiles in the ccc when switching games. There may be an auto profile switcher that will change the settings when you load a program but Im not sure. I haven't played around with ccc to much. Make sure youre using adaptive multisample and not super sample as well. Super sample has a huge effect on framerate.

Exactly, Catalyst should allow you to set custom profiles for each game. For example, you could set up AA 8X and AF 16X for IL-2 1946 and different settings for FC2/DCS World.

 

@OFF: Saaalve! É só setar um profile para os jogos, cada um com as opções desejadas. Qualquer dúvida aparece em nosso TS ou posta no forum que te ajudo cara. TS: 199.19.94.69 ou http://www.voando.org nosso forum. Bora combinar uns vôos.....Abração!

We figured out that his fps problem was due to the msffb2 joystick: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=103586

 

You can measure your fps with the in-game fps counter: right ctrl-pause on the keyboard.

For you ATI users out there, Im sure you notice that the Catalyst CCC sucks. I started using Radeon Pro a while back and love it. It will override your CCC settings and i like its auto loading of profiles and ability to tweak things to more detail (of course you could really make a mess of things as well).
