Can confirm that newest update 2.5.6.49314 performs better!

Woohoo! Stuttering, FPS tanking, and general performance-related BS seems to be a thing of the past. I just tried it out in Normandy and Caucasus, haven't tried NTTR or PG yet... But, everything seems to run smoothly now!

Especially when you pan around in F2 view, there's no more stuttering and no more ground object pop-in. Awesome!

Nice work ED!

Same for me. Performance is far better now. I tried the aggressor campaign with the F/A-18 and did not see any performance problems. Even at ramp start everythings runs very smooth. Thank you, guys.

Yes me too, initial testing on the Caucuses in the F-16 and the Gulf in the F/A-18 show much better performance compared to previous beta. not sure its back to how it was before but it is much improved for me so far. really looking forward to trying all the other areas of the sim now.

Well done ED.

Slightly better but far from what we used to have in 2.5.5...

Anyway, good work ED and please continue to make FPS even better :)

great to hear you are seeing performance increase, thank you for letting us know.

It's not so much the FPS increase, which is nice, there is some. It's the lack of stuttering, especially when looking around. It's about time! Nice work guys :)

I'm happy to hear some users are seeing increased FPS. I unfortunately am not seeing an improvement in non VR. Exact same issue as before the patch. Sitting on the tarmac, 100 fps, truck drives by, 50 fps. Load up bomber escort in the P51 and again, 100 fps and drops all the way to single digits with bombers in the area. Hop into a quick mission, free flight and I'm back up to 100+ fps.

There is definitely some improvement. I can definitely tell taking off from Gudauta with the through the inferno mission loaded and several planes taxiing and taking off. Average fps did seem to go up but I wasn't measuring. Moving to 32GB really helped me out. I use the HTC vive as well.

Speaking of VR, can anyone elaborate on what the VR mask setting does? Is this a performance enhancing setting? I fiddled with it but I wasn't sure what was happening or if it was working. Apologizes if this is off topic.

I think we are slowly getting there. ED is fully aware of that.

I also report an improved experience, both in single player and online.

Really a better framerate, the measurement results of the personal benchmark.

The same detail settings, plus the active mirror without SSLR.

Mission F/A-18, Caucasus 2K resolution, Non-VR.

Beta 2.5.6.47404

05-04-2020, 09:03:42 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 10103 frames rendered in 162.506 s

Average framerate : 62.1 FPS

Minimum framerate : 43.7 FPS

Maximum framerate : 107.7 FPS

1% low framerate : 39.3 FPS

0.1% low framerate : 35.5 FPS

The last beta 2.5.6.49314

21-05-2020, 13:59:34 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 10955 frames rendered in 162.709 s

Average framerate : 67.3 FPS

Minimum framerate : 49.2 FPS

Maximum framerate : 120.6 FPS

1% low framerate : 42.5 FPS

0.1% low framerate : 38.8 FPS

Definitely much better performance overall. The SA page on F-18C also doesn't have a single fps hit.

Are you guys who are seeing an improvement here using monitor or VR?

I forgot to add the Non-VR.

I can also report seeing a noticeable performance improvement in VR. I haven't scientifically logged performance counters, but I can feel how it is smoother.

Anyone with VR tried the new MSAA MASK SIZE slider which has appeared on the VR options page? I've tried it from Minimum to Max with MSAA set to 2x but it doesn't seem to do anything. No image quality change, no framrate change. In theory it should improve frame rates by only processing what is in the headset FOV. That said hugely happy with the VR performance improvement in the latest update, Well done ED.

can confirm overall better performance with the lasted OB.

However after the game has been running for a couple of hours and/or after 3 or 4 missions the FPS drops significantly. Restarting DCS fixes the problem

Appart of very small increase in performance, I noticed the same. I have to restart after one mission, the performance seems degrades over time (memory hole???)

Only no one here writes about the SuperCarrier. Here performance is tragic.

No loss of performane for me on an crowded SC carrier.

And how many frames do you have looking straight ahead and on what equipment?

Because I have about 35-52 fps depending on where I look. I don't really like it.

I capped my FPS to 60 and this is what I have IG (F-14 or F-18).

2080ti. And all clear. Only at 1070ti I have 60 fps almost everywhere.

Not the same resolution, a 2080 Ti is overkill for your screen.
