2019 Benchmark thread 2.5 open beta

My rig stutters right at the beginning when the doors open, so I benched a few seconds after that.

i5 3570k @4.4GHz

8GB DDR3 @2000 8-9-9-20

GTX970 stock

18-05-2019, 18:41:32 DCS.exe benchmark completed, 9597 frames rendered in 213.890 s

Average framerate : 44.8 FPS

Minimum framerate : 25.5 FPS

Maximum framerate : 85.8 FPS

1% low framerate : 10.0 FPS

0.1% low framerate : 8.2 FPS

DCS 2.5 open beta 2.5.4.30386

i7 8700k, stock, water cooled, boost @4.7GHz, actual clock ~4.6 GHz

32 GB DDR4-3200

Radeon VII, 1800MHz (stock) / 1123mV (stock)

2x M2 NVME SSD (Win10 on one, DCS on the other one)

Monitor: LG 34GK950F, set at 1920x1080 in Windows

DCS setting as required (HIGH, Vsync off)

Radeon settings in attachment (no freesync or other AA settings).

Start recording while doors open, stop recording a couple of seconds after crash and the view switches.

- GPU utilization almost always at 100%, but strangely with good temperatures: junction below 80 deg all the time. For comparison, I record about 100 deg in MP.. Need to investigate this further.

- I confirm that DCS needs restarting after modifying the settings, massive difference in average FPSs in certain combinations (up to a delta of 25!)

I will report more on the Radeon VII on a separate thread.
