1.2.7 open beta poor performance

[Pman]

Hi,

 

Performance has taken another hit with 1.2.7 with AMD cards.

 

I know its been said before but it obviously needs saying again that these issues need to be addressed.

 

Running the following kit:

 

Intel I7 3770k @ 5ghz

12gb Corsair Ram

AMD 7990 GFX

Installed on SSD Raid

 

and even on medium settings it spikes all over the place.

 

Needs investigating as its getting to the point where its unplayable

Interesting with those specs .. is this overall ( MP,SP, Different missions)?

MP and SP

 

Something in the region of 25fps in an unstarted Mustang on my own and drops to about 15-18 at points

 

Its gutting but if this is how 1.2.7 is going to be then thats the end of DCS for me :(

 

That said I have just spotted a new AMD driver released today am going to try that now and report back

[BIGNEWY]

We all know ATI has issues with DCS its a long standing issue,

 

but keep the faith lots of changes are happening with DCS and when we move to DX11 things should improve for us ATI users.

 

I had noticed a drop of a couple of frames in the HUEY but nothing I can not put up with.

I asked on different missions because I get terrible FPS and load time on the the Virtual Aerobatics Server.

 

~12 fps hit and when I cycle through F2 load time for planes can be multiple seconds.

 

But if it is on different missions Than that's not right. ( for amd users)

[Pman]

well the new drivers didnt improve anything.

 

Sadly I think thats the nail in the coffin for me

[karambiatos]

im on nvidia, my performance is also worse than 1.2.6, esspecially when it comes i start shooting the 30mm cannon on the russian planes.

[lmp]

Yup, I'm using a GTX 460 and I'm seeing a slight FPS drop and very noticeable stutter increase :(.

[71st_Mastiff]

very smooth and stable with my set up.

[javelina1]

bummer on the ATI/AMD... :( and, you're using a 7990....

 

(yep, I know ATI is a long standing issue when using DCS).

 

I've been holding out that EDGE will help out....

Im hoping with that as well

 

In 1.2.6 it wasnt so bad, 40-50 fps while in Horsemen training, now even stripped bare im lucky to get 30 on my own

best thing u can do is turn of visuals and start from bottom up.

big frame hits in the config file is

cockpit shadows

Hey Pete, new AMD drivers.....

tried those and not alot of change, have tinkered with Radeon Pro and forced a few issues to low and it bumped the frames abit but still way under par

 

The dual GPU's are only running with one (known SLI and Xfire issue so np) but the one core it is using is only clocking up to 50% ish

 

Hoping for some optimisation along the path :)

I don't get it sometimes...People say it is bad for them when I see no such problems. I have run this all day online in servers and in single player... FPS in the 40s and 50s. The same I get in 1.2.6

 

For me 1.2.7 runs well with no FPS issues at all...Haven't noticed a drop. no stutters. I have everything on high...so when you say AMD users take a hit and it is unplayable...that should not be a blanket statement.

[Cyb0rg]

I have almost same performace i had with 1.2.6 (25-35) offline (15-30) online.

Now i can easly see that with mirrors on i have a 6/7 FPS loss.

 

 

 

Edit : have no stutters ^^

[aaron886]

Same problem... frame rate counter appears to be in the normal range for my setup, but the hitching and stuttering is atrocious. Completely unplayable. I wouldn't expect many bug reports if people can't even play it smoothly, ED... :(

[FubarBundy]

micro-stutter

 

same as above, fps counter stays good, micro-stutters all over the show :no_sad:

 

Win7:

CPU: AMD FX-6100 @ 3.31 GHz

1.2.7 FPS drop

 

Disturbing news. I have ran a simple mission of a Su-25T flying low, straight and level over Tbilisi without any player interference and got a sizable FPS drop using the same game settings (no AI traffic, all settings maxed out, zero bushes visibility, cockpit shadows and mirrors off and no other units on the map).

 

DCSW 1.2.7 beta

Average 54.983

Minimum 51

Maximum 60

 

DCSW 1.2.6

Average 64.750

Minimum 60

Maximum 69

 

I haven't got a chance to see whether video quality settings have anything to do with it, I do recall however, that changing antialiasing in 1.2.6 didn't really influence the FPS rate - maybe something changed in this aspect.

 

P.S. I do understand, that 1.2.7 is still in beta stage and things might change... hopefully.

P.P.S. FPS measured by FRAPS.

Very interested to know exactly what driver your using and what settings. As it may be a "sweet spot" thing

 

Sith, I will do a track tonight, I have to leave for work in about 3 minutes so cant do it now :p

I'm running all at low, except textures (medium), AA (4x), HDR (Cold) and I have the same FPS as 1.2.6, 40-60.

I also noticed, already in 1.2.6, that when I see nav lights, i lose 1-2 FPS.

That's interesting, what card are you using?

[59th_Reaper]

Hi!

 

Micro-stuttering here too. Completely unplayable beside 45-50 fps...

 

Specs:

 

Win7 64 bit

HD5870 1GB

AMD Phenom II X4 BE (3,8Ghz)

4GB ram

[BitMaster]

I have to push on the stuttering issue described, unplayable, with any FPS.

 

I flew with Pman last night on VA Server and it was the worst night of them all.

 

Despite my Fraps showed 30-45 fps when flying around, the actual flow was a BIG MICRO STUTTER disaster.

 

I then fired up my own server, loaded a mission and SAME THING...

 

 

I need to spend more time nailing it down, but obviously the stutter is not related to the actual speed of 3D rendering & processing, since it happens with 48 fps looking at the clear sky were usually it is smooth like a baby @ßß.

 

NV 650-GT-M-1GB, Core i7 2.6GHz, 16GB DDR3, Win7-64-SP1, 256GB-SSD ( MBP Retina )

 

 

Admitted, the VA Server is known to be among the more stuttering ones ( maybe cause it hosts more players usually than all others together ? ) but last night was a big No Go to have fun !

I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to try out 1.2.7 yet, but I will be interested to see if my game stutters. Currently, It never does. I only fly in the VA server which regularly has 30+ players in and there's no issues at all for me. We'll have to see how it goes when I get home :)
