Bad FPS? Give these a try, pt. II

[JG14_Smil]

FPS are definitely worse in 1.2.4 but I am getting framerates similar to yours with my 6400x1920 setup.

[djwave]

Solved, were the mirrors that I was down the performance. I have not needed to change hard drives or psu LOL.

Now i have all details high + sliders to max with three monitors with 38 frames all the time, included all cockpit lights turned on, without OC in titan. Fiuuuuuu....

[Wolf Rider]

Tested with one monitor only. ~

 

 

what was the fps on that test (DCS, not Crysis 3)

[SkateZilla]

Here's a question for Everyone with High End GPU/Intel CPUs havign FPS Issues.

 

What's your MMIO Align Setting in your BIOS?

 

(pretty sure it's called something else on AMD Boards, will verify tonight when I get home)

Edit: AMD it's Called IOMMU, but im not sure if it has the same options as Intel Chipsets.

When i test on one monitor with mirrors off i put the results here. I need to move one monitor for this, i have it in portrait mode with other two with a 3936x1920 Res.

Crysis 3 is an Arcade shooter, not an Accurate Flight and Phsyics Simulation w/ anywhere from 1-500+ units each with their own AI, Physics and weapons,

I'm sorry, but I say the mission just me with my plane, do not make me laugh,the load on the gpu are higher in crisys 3 than in dcs A10C. The cpu is more important than the graphics in that software.

[Wolf Rider]

I dont think DCS is more demanding game than crisys 3 my friend.

 

 

I was curious as to what the fps result was for the single monitor test, with DCS, you did with regard to your listed system specs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are all those reporting choppiness installed the Huey addon?

[SkateZilla]

well, Now I get a HUGE drop (from my Locked 30) to below 10. whenever there is smoke from Missiles, chimneys, explosions... anything.

[Slazi]

..,the load on the gpu are higher in crisys 3 than in dcs A10C. The cpu is more important than the graphics in that software.

 

You mean the gpu not the cpu in the second sentence right?

 

 

The smoke does seem to be causing incredible frame rate hits in DCS right now, there's obviously something very wrong somewhere. I went from 80fps down to three after firing a salvo of rockets from my shark this morning.

What's your MMIO Align Setting in your BIOS

 

is this important? What should it be and can you provide a link of suggested settings?

[SkateZilla]

Depends on your Windows, I was just curious to see what people actually have it set at.

 

The wrong setting makes a difference, as it controls how many I/O Memory Lanes the PCI-E Slots actually get.

 

I think for 64-Bit it's supposed to be on 1024

[Wayc00lio]

I can't find the setting for it. I'm using Asus UEFI.

[SkateZilla]

Should be under Chipset.

 

Which mainboard?

[Wayc00lio]

In my sig. P8z77

[Paganus]

In the options.lua file lights=2 is required for the Huey minigun tracers for 1.2.4.11855.

 

A setting of 0 or 1 will result in a client crash as soon as the trigger is pulled.

[SkateZilla]

yeah i dont see it in the manual.

[msalama]

anything.

 

Some midair explosions cause my frames to drop now as well, plus the cluster munitions slideshow is still there. So its the good ol' 2 steps forwards, 1 back with the patches still it seems ;)

[9.JG27 DavidRed]

Just want to remind, that in order to keep your mods to graphics.lua intact after updates and even after graphic options changes via the GUI, make your changes in the Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg file.

 

Example autoexec.cfg lines:

options.graphics.treesVisibility = 1500
options.graphics.sync = false

Tech details:

graphics.lua file is loaded into options.graphics Lua table.

And after that, autoexec.cfg file is loaded.

Thus, you can override graphics options with the autoexec.cfg file.

 

 

well....is there some more information about this????i would really like to keep my current settins, cause right now the game runs smooth as silk for me...but i dont know how exactly this should work...first i dont even have this autoexec.cfg file...so i would need to create one(how?)

second, what does this file have to contain so that all my settings keep safed?

 

third, is it responsible only for the parameters in the graphics.lua, or will i be able to keep changes to the high.lua this way as well???mor info about this would be much appreciated!

I have a Gigabyte ga-z68x-ud7 and i dont see that option in bios... don´t exist in gigabyte?:huh:

[Wolf Rider]

Or Intel (reference) BIOS

[Megagoth1702]

msalama, thanks for your work on these.

 

Can you provide some information on WHAT parameters you actually changed?

 

I am that geeky, heh. But comparing file to file seems a bit overkill since I can just ask here?

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

[msalama]

Well basically I just rolled all tweaks I've ever seen into one package, including some old Lockon-era stuff which is outdated by now. But the tweaks mostly affect visibility ranges, with some particle FX density changes thrown in as well. HTH :thumbup:

[Leonski]

Hiya -

 

Please find attached my most recent FPS tweaks (see http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=95469 for a previous discussion on this).

 

Fly safe,

 

M.

 

EDIT: Also see the following as regards how I've configured my graphics chain for DCS, helps in reducing stuttering among other things: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=101079

 

EDIT 2: For v1.2.4 compatibility, use the attached graphics.lua instead of the original graphics.cfg and you should be good. Change the maxfps parameter to your liking however (I use 30 myself).

 

EDIT 3: For best performance use Rider1's smoke files instead of the ones in my package: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1715708&postcount=138

 

 

Right, I did all this but nothing! All thought If in high settings and in low settings I got almost the same fps! In cockpit I have a 9-17 fps and out sight I got 20-34 fps. With 1280x1024res.

 

my rig: AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40GHz, MSI DKA790GX Platinum AM2+,8 GB RAM, 2x AMD Sapphire Radeon HD6870, 1x 1Tb(games) 1x 320gb(w7-64), Samsung SyncMaster T260HD

[Nealius]

I've got the same processor and it doesn't look like ANYTHING will increase framerates.
