msalama Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Because I noticed 2 patches ago that it really started to run well on this old rig of mine. And just today, I noticed there was a two weeks old Vulkan installer log in my temp directory ;) Now, I've seen some folks on this board whine about the OB and its forced DS - and some apparently do so without having even tried the thing themselves. Phleeze. Just give the bugger a go even if some cockpits are still not up to par, because the performance at least on my end is just great again even with 2xMSAA and NVI SSAA on!

Fri13 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If a such change would be made, I think it should really be first thing in the patch notes as it is affecting debugging and testing big time. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

msalama Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Well, I'm pretty sure it uses at least a part of the Vulkan API already, because I really saw a massive performance boost about two patches ago + the tell-tale log there I mentioned. No official confirmation however... The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_e10 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Performance boost can have sooooo many reasons :) I would not expect to see vulkan any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) DCS still uses DirectX 11_) Libraries in full. You cannot split and Engine to use Half Direct3D and Half Vulkan. There is no Vulkan Coding/Files in DCS OB or RELEASE.

msalama Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Really? Really what? OK, no Vulkan if Zilla says so, but better performance all around regardless. So there's apparently some optimization going on at least. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
