FPS estimation for my rig

[riflefighter]

Hello guys,

 

This is my laptop specs. I use my laptop since I have no other PC or option to buy a new one in the near future

I5-2410M with 2.3GHZ

4GB RAM

ATI 6630M with 1G memory.

 

do you think that the A10 (using the DCS WORLD) will work well (not on optimal settings of course).

 

BTW I have the KA50 (the first game) and there I get around 20-30 FPS with these settings:

 

 

Thanks,

RF

res of cockpit displays, never have them on every frame, it will kill your system and shadows off for better performance.

 

I would expect 15 - 25 fps on those specs at a guess

[riflefighter]

do you guess 15-25 FPS in DCS world in these settings or with the settings you suggest?

 

do you think I can enjoy the A10C ?

 

Thanks

with the setting I suggested, but whatever you get you will enjoy the DCS A10C its a masterpiece :)

 

they only way you can tell is by trying it, and with the discounted price at the moment its worth the gamble :)

 

Also do not forget DCS World is free to try, you have a SU-25T that can be used before spending any cash, give it a go :)

hm.... not sure, I think there are some new graphical features introduced after BS1 but then again you don't have to use them (since your hardware can't really handle it anyway).

 

Best is download and install DCS World as it is for FREE and see how it runs. Su-25T is available in it and try flying with it and use Shkval etc as that uses bit of CPU cycles, and if you see acceptable FPS on your laptop flying Su-25T you can decide to get A-10C... they will run about the same.

Download DCS World and see for yourself, it should give you a fair guess as to what to expect. The Warthog is a bit heavier than the default Su-25T, but as I said, it will give you some indication :)

Thanks for you answers!

I will try and report for the FPS I'm getting. Do you suggest any particular mission / scenario for testing?

 

Have a nice day

[riflefighter]

ok, I've tried the SU25T with the instant action ground attack mission.

 

with all the shaders on low, texture,scene and visibility on medium , without HDR and display on 512 (without every frame option) I get around 25-35 without Shkval display and around 25 with it, I also get annoying "tears" of the view.

 

what do you say? maybe I missed something? or just I shouldnt run this sim

I also get annoying "tears" of the view.

 

Is VSync set to "on". If no, set it to "on" to prevent tearing.
