85 fps with 1.1.1.1 and 40 with DCS World?

[Ranger79]

Guys,

 

Anyone getting lower FPS using DCS World A-10 vs the standalone 1.1.1.1 version? I am getting 85 FPS using standalone and around 40 FPS on the same instant action mission imn DCS World?

 

Very strange, did not know if anyone else was experiencing anything similar? Does DCS World use the same .exe for DCS A10 as the standalone?

Does DCS World use the same .exe for DCS A10 as the standalone?

 

No. DCS World uses DCS World with modular system for the specific titles.

 

Performance results for users does seem to be varied, with some gaining higher performance in world. What are the exact configuration in World and 1.1.1.1 that you are using?

[Ranger79]

I tried to mirror both config and view settings.

 

Two monitors using 3840x1080 resolution (dual screen one for A/C one for MFCD's/HELIOS).

 

4x AA

TSAA on

Everything else high

Visibility maxed

Bushes/clutter: 500m

Make sure DCS World isn't disabling aero's...helios does not like aero's being disabled if I remember correctly...

Roger that, I do not have it disabled. Its just weird, maybe because I am using a GTX 690 in Multi-gpu mode is the reason for the different FPS on different versions?

[Snoopy]

not sure...I haven't used helios in a while so no way for me to know if that's an issue with World

[Ranger79]

Also I tested both w/o HELIOS, still same FPS...

Please try this:

 

Select "High" on both installs, then do manual configuration to your preference. This is because there are some parameters "under the hood" that change depending on which preset was selected.

[Ranger79]

Roger that, tried the "high" setting, same result, not a huge deal, but just strange why there is such a difference. I will post a video in a few mins.

[EtherealN]

Aye, I agree, it's strange.

 

Could you upload to the forum your graphics.cfg, high.lua, and options.lua?

 

I could try to look and see if there's something anomalous going on as far as configuration goes.

[Ranger79]

Here you go. Thanks for checking this man, I really appreciate the support!

A variation of this fixed a terrible jittering problem with my mirrors in the 1.2.0 A-10C. I selected "medium" to start with, then manually configured individual settings back up to where they were in 1.1.1.1. Mirror problem solved, and FPS is still acceptable! Thanks!

TSSAA and AAA in the graphics control panel is not a good idea to have on with the new grass.

AAA? What do you mean AAA?

[aaron886]

He means AA, just a typo.

[Nate--IRL--]

No I mean Catalyst AAA or the Nvidia equivalent. The setting that Anti aliases textures will hate the new grass. Use one or the other.

Only 40 fps!!? I'd love to have that problem!:D

Just a joke, i understand your concern, hope you can solve it.

 

Cheers

I'm also getting a lower framerate since I switched over to DCS World 1.2. But the biggest problem are a lot of micro studders close to the ground and on takeoff, where it used to be smooth as butter. I am sure in time ED hopefully will work it out. There really isn't much faster hardware I can upgrade, so I'm going to have to put the whole DCS sim on hold for while. Is it possible that DCS and SLI don't play well and maybe it's time to get rid of my two GTX 590s?

DCS World "optimization" is a disaster. After days and days of trying to figure out how to stop the ever declining performance, I just stopped bothering..It looks exactly the same as DCS Warthog, yet it runs like crap. In my humble opinion.

[ralfidude]

CBUs going off in DCS world lag me to hell, while CBUs in A10C are perfectly fine...

 

Plus CBUs in DCS world are broken right now anyway...

Ranger79 - I saw similar when I went across to 1.2 (there's a thread under a10 bugs / game performance). Since then I've reinstalled windows 7 and things have returned to *nearly* where they were, so if you've the patience for a clear out and reinstall I'd recommend it.

[SkateZilla]

for me it's the other way around,

 

DCS A-10C 1.1..1.1.1.1. how low FrPS in the Pit and certain scenerios, while DCSW is butter smooth.

Can one of the devs let us know how much VRAM dcs will use?
