Performance issues after the latest update

Without Pressing LAlt+Ent in the sim, You will run in borderless window mode and to true Fullscreen.

This has been so for ages now - wonde when they will fix it.

Thanks, I was unaware of this ... I have two monitors, so I wonder what that will do, but I will try anyway.

Where is MSI mode selected please?

I've forgotten, I've done that already :D

Shouldn't we be trying to achieve 60 FPS to match the TrackIR refresh rate? For me to get 60 FPS in DCS, I have to set my EVGA Precision X frame rate target to 61 and have full screen checked in game. If I set it to 60 FPS, DCS shows 59 FPS in game.

My only question is, do I leave my monitor refresh rate at 144Hz or do I set that to 60Hz as well?

leave it a 144;)

and btw i've noticed as well performance has deterioarated since last ob updated expecially when looking at trees, my fps used to be 60 fps costant, now it drops to 45, same game settings in dcs and nvcp .

Same here buddy. I was seeing FPS drop to the low 80's at worst and now I see FPS dropping into the upper 60's at times. I did not change a thing in regards to settings but now I am looking at adjusting settings because I am getting uncomfortably (for me) close to that 60 FPS threshold. I feel that this is really unacceptable performance at any level of settings for a 4.6GHz CPU, 1080 Ti GPU and 16GB of RAM.

I have noticed a drop in performance since the last update. Installed a 1070ti just before the last update and I was satisfied but now I am seeing lower frame rates. I fly in VR.

Flying the Ka-50 earlier and the smoke from firing a Vikhr tanked my fps from locked at 60 to single digits.

That's....new.

**running w7/64 and using a MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Duke OC 11GB, 16GB RAM on MOBO, CPU is i7 4770

about 2 weeks ago I installed the above card and spent considerable time adjusting NV settings and in game DCS settings...to achieve a result of smooth graphics. After the most recent OB update 2.5.3.23954 I now get stutter without any other change.

problem seems worse in F18 particularly when looking fully left or right or rearward at low height in dense areas such as Los Vegas or dense tree areas close to ground. Forward vision or 45degrees off forward axis is not a problem.

hope ED take note of this issue though I know stuttering like shimmering has been a long standing issue with DCS World...Gary

+1

I've noted as well that the problem is very pronnounced when panning in the cockpit to right/left with the f18.....

I must say that I wonder why not more resources are put into optimising performance, considering the amount of posts about stutter and poor performance.

It´s clearly not just a matter of adding more RAM or using SSD's.

Personally I would like to see much more consolidated bug fixes & everything DCS moved out of alpha and beta to stable final release of DCS and all current modules rather than more modules. Sort of quality rather than quantity thing. Once that is all done which would take big effort and time then continue expanding the game.

I have been doing some testing and noticed a great improvement in performance when I locked my FPS to 60.

I have EVGA Precision X and set the Frame Rate Target to 61 to get the 60 FPS in game. I leave my monitor at 144HZ and GSYNC on. I leave Full Screen unchecked in game settings and do not use LALT+ENTER.

By locking the FPS to 60, I noticed everything is a lot more smooth and no stutters. TrackIr is smooth as well. Even the stutters with weapons hits/effects is gone.

Maybe this will help some of you as well!

I'll just stick to using nV Inspector 59fps lock and Fast Sync thanks :)

well well Sir, I've tried vsyncoff in game + vsync fast in nvcp+vsync fast in nvidia inspector + fps lock at 59 v2 limiter with nvinspector...and actually it got worse compared to cap fps to 60 via riva-turner or nvinspector itself....

If I lock fps to 59 I notice some stutter/jittery, at 60 is smooth as butter.

For me best result is using rivaturner to lock fps at 60 + I also delete max_fps line from graphics.lua :thumbup:

Works also for me. S! :thumbup:

whether i run with full screen selected or not within game settings game always runs in full screen...what does it mean? which is what i want.

could someone explain please what is this LALT+ENTER thing? When do you do it and why do you do it? what is it for? thx...Gary

Actually Mustang is not far from the truth with 59 fps.

There is one super smooth method using the RTSS, from my own practice works excellent with V-sync.

apparently for me 59fps is a NO-GO as I am running a gsync monitor and proably that's the reason, I could try disbling gsync and set fps to 59, I will give it a try

I also delete max_fps line from graphics.lua :thumbup:

You can also set MaxFPS = 0 too as this is the same as disabling it all together - interesting about your 59fps stutter problem, goes to show that one setting for one is not the best for another (gotta love the randomness nature of PCs lol)

and actually from the post you've linked :

"If there is no in-game frame rate cap capability, use RTSS which was tested to be lower lag than NVInspector and other capping utilities."

so honestly I dont understnad why you're using nvidia inspector to cap fps ad RTSS is better in terms of latency :)

yeah it's a bit strange, but we have different hardware.

I am capping fps@60 but I keep my monitor refresh rate @144hz (according to suggestions from blurbuster forum as well) , plus I have gsync ON.

I will experiment with gsync off and fps@59 , but I will also set monit refresh rate@60.

Even tough I find that keeping the monitor at 144hz or even 165hz capped@60fps is smoother than caping monitor @60hz
