EGG Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I have the below specs: i7-930 (2.8Ghz), 24Gb RAM, GTX 980Ti, SSD Yep this is a first gen i7 and I do need to upgrade at some point, but I'm trying to hold out until the spectre/meltdown fallout has settled a bit more and CPU's which negate most of these issues come out. Which might be without hyperthreading.. who knows. Anyway, I presently get 40 FPS on the ground in single player and about 80+ in the air. On MP maps this drops to 20 FPS on the ground and maybe 20-30 FPS in the air. I'm not certain MP was always this bad, but DCS is an evolving beast. Graphics settings are primarily medium at the moment. Are there any particular settings around view-distance which can affect MP FPS? I've tried playing with a few, but without much difference.

EGG Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 No takers on this query? I have found multiplayer FPS will drop on say GAW even if only 4 players are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel will release his next gen CPUs (Cascade Lake) somewhere in April, which will be Spectre/Meltdown bug free ;) Regarding your problem with the old CPU, you must overclock it to squeeze every Hz out of it as it WILL matter for DCS performance. You should have the shadows turned OFF and the view distance medium/high. Nothing much you can do about it though..

EGG Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Thanks, I think I have shadows turned down, but not off. I'll try those settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVgamer72 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Civilian Traffic, mirrors, and Shadows are the biggest hits. Turn them down or off to reclaim FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
