I want max settings!

[Taproot]

And I need your help...

 

I suspect and hope many of you have simular hardware.

 

This is the short list:

i7 2700 (no k)

Nvidia 560ti

16gb ram

Win 7 64

DCS 1.2.3

Now. If you have simular setup. What settings do you have?

 

I am now at around 40 fps with rare lagspikes. But I am willing to tweak as much as possible to get a better result..

See my signature.

I run maxed, except water medium most of the time.

 

"Lagspikes" would most likely be HDD access. If you don't have an SSD, I would say should consider getting one. :)

RAM Drive :)

[Taproot]

Forgot to mention I have a Vertex 4 SSD. :)

 

What is the fastest? Ram Drive or SSD?

 

@Eth. As I understand DCS world is somewhat CPU dependent I dont think I can match your settings since I run stock.

 

When you say maxed, do you meen 1024 CP and all the tree things on max distance aswell? What AA do you use?

[EtherealN]

I haven't really updated my config correctly, sorry - it actually runs on 3.8 nowadays. (Standard turboboost, but applied on all cores.)

 

Dependencs is really dependent, so to speak. With your configuration it is a bit hard to say for sure where you might be suffering.

 

And no, I use mirrors on, screens 512, distances maxed. AA is 4x to give my 560Ti some mercy (though I do ask it to run two screens, one with game and one with windows). Reason I use screens 512 is that this is actually more "realistic" as far as the "real" cockpit displays go on the A-10.

What's your FPS?

[EtherealN]

What's your FPS?

 

This is from an old version of the simulator, but mentioned parameters, windowed mode, aero on, video playing on the other screen:

Would have to re-do tests to know for sure now.

 

 

Make me a track of a situation where you feel you are "worse off" and I can run a comparison with framedata on my computer. Then we might be able to see where exactly your problem might be.

^ that's easy to do,

 

GPU is only rendering 1 Window in D3D Pipes, the desktop is easily rendered very little of the GPU.

 

The video playing is most likely using software decoding since Direct3d Overlay is in use by DCS.exe.

 

4+ Core PCs can do this all the time. :)

 

I was running DCS.exe on my middle screen, while having 2 chrome windows open on the left and right screens, each with 4 hockey games from NHL Game Center Running :).

 

ANd still flying smoothly at VSYNC Lock.

Thank you for all replies.

 

@eth I spent all day tweaking and trying to OC the GPU. Now I am in SP with few units at very stable 30 FPS. To me it looks like it is somehow locked on those 30 tho.. I monitered the CPU on the g510 and the load was at 13%. Altho this is not accurate, 13% to me seems very low. I will trie with a different app.

 

I will post a track if I experience those spikes again.

 

but I started the day with 17 fps spikes in a city, now it is stable 30.

I like your taste in movies :D

(not sarcastic, anime watcher here)

Nothing like poppin' tanks while watching my little pony. :D

True there :D
