OnlyforDCS Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 What was your old resolution? If it was 1080p start with the same settings as before, but drop the MSAA to 2x or even to OFF. Then adjust and lower the other settings as necessary. Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.

Backy 51 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Go big or go home! Try 4196 x 2160 and if you don't like it, drop to 3860 x 2160. Welcome to 4K DCSW!!!! I don't need no stinkin' GPS! (except for PGMs :D) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then adjust and lower the other settings as necessary. I just bought a new PC. First i tried playing 1440p with the high setting but then i decided to try what if i fully use my 4k monitor My Rig: Asus Z270K, I5 7600K@4,2mhz, G.Skill Ripjaws V Black DDR4 3200 PC4-25600 16GB, MSI GTX-1070 Armor OC, Cooler Master 212 Evo X, Samsung 850 EVO 256 GB SSD, Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD, Corsair VS 650 W Plus, NOX Hummer ZX.

razo+r Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Most of the time, I've flew with 2K for reasons like to make sure I have 60 fps and no black borders in the menue... Now I tried with 4K in SP with a non-populated mission (MiG-15 free flight) with following settings: Textures high Water high Terrain textures high Visibility range high heat blur high shadows high resolution cockpitdisplays 1024 8X MSAA HDR no grass Visibility trees to half preload radius full 8X AA And I got always 60 fps, but in a non-populated mission. Online, where a lot of players crash at one point, that number can go down even at 1080p to a very low number. as you can see in the video that I've made, there are some exceptions but you will mostly get 60 FPS at 4K with a 1070 and a better CPU than mine.

gavagai Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 If you're running 4k you don't need MSAA. For my part, if it's a choice between 4k and other settings, e.g. heat blur on high, I'll pick 4k every time.
