Massive improvement

[doveman]

I updated to 7570 recently and just tested it for the first time and saw much better FPS, like 80fps at the start on Cold Start in Mozdok, dropping to maybe 60fps looking left and right and staying above 50fps flying around.

 

I was getting around 25-35fps looking left or right at the start and 30fps when flying towards/near the airfield before.

 

I don't think I've changed/updated/installed anything else that might have given me this massive performance boost, so I think I have to give credit to ED :thumbup:

 

This test was with SoftTH running two monitors, with the Abris and Shkval exported to the second one. Options were High, High, Off, Low, High, Off, High, 3840x1200, 3.2, Custom, 1024, 4x, Off, Vsync, Fullscreen

Strange. IMHO 6950 is much faster than 7570... :noexpression:

 

I've got quite similar rig, same CPU@3.6GHz and 7870 and I have 52fps at Mozdok mission start.

he is speaking of verion 1.2.2.7570 of DCS World (the current version) not of the video card Hd7570.

Ooops :doh:

 

...but still, I didn't get that FPS improvement as doveman said :(

[doveman]

lol, sorry my post could have been clearer, it gets confusing I admit with all these things using the same number :smilewink:

 

Yeah, I was very surprised as well as I would have expected others to be raving about it if they'd seen such an improvement. All I can do is try a few more tests to see if anything's responsible other than update 7570 (i.e. running single-screen without SoftTH, running without RadeonPro).

[doveman]

I've had a quick chance to test in single-screen without SoftTH and it was back down to 35fps with that.

 

I tried with SoftTH again in dual-screen and got 55fps like that.

 

So it seems something about SoftTH is giving me a nice boost. It didn't used to though, so I can only guess that something in DCS has changed to contribute to this as well.

So what does SoftTH do to increase your fps? Im only playing with a single 1980*1080 monitor, but if it gives me a performance boost this seems to be the way to go!

[doveman]

I'm not sure what it's doing but I guess it can't hurt to try it with a single monitor.

[JG14_Smil]

that's the beauty of SoftTH.. just do it. :)

 

and yes, I believe it works with one monitor also.

[doveman]

Ah dammit, turns out it was just a bug in Radeon Pro which was causing it's FPS counter to show incorrect figures with dual-screen/SoftTH.

 

Using DCS' own FPS counter shows it's still only managing 29fps or worse :(

 

Sorry for getting anyone's hopes up.
