SkateZilla Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Vega's much like Polaris, are having heat and bios inflicted throttling issues.

Jooga Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I did some more testing and got mostly nice 90 FPS by setting the visibility distance low. I didn't notice any impact on how far I could spot other aircrafts, but FPS did increase noticeably. I will try to do more tinkering on what pixel density is best for Vega-VR, 1.5 seemed to have some impact on FPS but it was still playable. I mostly used 1.0 PD and with it radar display was a little tough to read.Flying low and doing some M2000 BFM in missile instant action FPS was bouncing around 45 (Rifts ATW). ^ on SkateZilla's post I don't think the GPU is heat-throttling in my case, as temps are ~30-35 degrees and both core&memory clocks are mostly only 50% of maxed values. In full GPU load (other games) max temperature is ~45c on my watercooled loop. I'm quite happy with this as now I can at least play the game and enjoy it. But I still wouldn't suggest getting a Vega for DCS unless you have other uses like Freesync-monitor. Also, I don't know anything about normal monitor-performance with the Vega since I'm only using VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't know anything about normal monitor-performance with the Vega since I'm only using VR. the BiOS can cause throttling for various reasons (temps, voltages, predicted load etc). However, for VR, Visibility Distance should pretty much always be on low, as anything rendered in distances for High and Med you wont be able to clearly see due to Pixel Density of the displays. The Higher the View Distance setting, the more objects are drawn within a view circle.
