JughedJones Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hey guys, After a little bit away, a brand new rig and the release of 2.5 has me coming back. Can anyone point me towards good settings for the in game menu and the Nvidia Control panel? I have a pretty good rig with the i7 7770k, 1080ti, 16g of ddr4. Thanks a lot! I forgot all the tricks and thought this might be a decent thread to make with the advent of 2.5 and, probably, a number of new DCS owners as well as people like me that are coming back. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JughedJones Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) I just play the sim in 4k maxed out with no issues, no need to tweak anything really Yup, I'm not getting any fps issues at 1440, but I am getting some pretty serious AA issues. When I Jack up the AA settings to max, my FPS drops to around 15, one notch back, I'm at 80-90, but some nasty jaggies are back. Thought there might be a trick I'm not aware of.

kiss4luna Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) This is my settings https://imgur.com/a/KLRls And this is my free flight video, glitches every now and then but this happens on 2.2 too so I think maybe something else is not properly done on my rig.

Robert31178 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 What about Nvidia settings for DCS in general? I have yet to set mine up properly. Had an offer for help a few months ago but no real help after contact. My rig: i7 4790k 4.0 ghz, Zoltac GTX 980 4G, 16gb RAM with a solid state hard drive. So far all I can tell is that any MSAA kills my frames and creates a stutter. I have been using the same area of the map for testing whilst flying Viggen for all of my test hops so that I can gauge my results effectively. I would really like some help on this please!! ~Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_sukebe Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 There's a number of threads on optimisation, but if you're struggling on frame rates, the optimum seems to include: Disable: MSAA Shadows: Flat Do enable: Deferred shading (cos it looks ace) Visibility: Long Water: High (as it appears to have little impact and also looks ace) System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse. Server: i5 2500@3.9Ghz, 1080, 24GB DDR3, SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert31178 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I do have those settings set in game. I have a nice set up that I think is balanced and runs pretty smooth, even in an area clogged with trees; turning off MSAA and setting my shadows to flat were exactly what did it for me. I'm looking for a fine tuning set up for the Nvidia control panel at this point! I'd like to be able to hold the in game settings I have at a steady 60fps. Currently I seems to drop into the 40's around heavy trees and towns but it still runs smooth as silk, so my settings aren't crazy nice, but they look good enough to me. The other thing is I have my preload turned up for this teting, but I really keep it turned way down on ops as I flew Huey for my unit, and down low and slow there is no need for crazy view distance or preload.

wedge_one Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 as said before, disable MSAA and enable FXAA on nvidia control panel or using reshade. ¬ wedge Wishlist: DCS: F-16C wedgeDCS - Modern Custom CSS themes for the Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert31178 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) +1 for the screen shot - I see the above one but I don't see the same settings in my Nvidia control panel under either tab, this is only like my 3rd time getting into the Nvidia control panel lol......kinda handicapped! I will turn on the FXAA for now and see what happens - what specifically should the setting be? A list for global and the DCS program settings would be super helpful actually! ~Rob Edited February 10, 2018 by Robert31178 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alieneye Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hey, guys Do you have any idea why AA settings in Nvidia CP or Nvidia Inspector are not affecting DCS at all?

Nealius Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I've been wondering the same. I can only get Nvidia FXAA to work. I tried SUPERVCAA 64x4v12 and had no antialiasing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I don't see the same settings in my Nvidia control panel under either tab Try installing NVidia Inspector (https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvidia-profile-inspector-download.html) and see if the extra AA presets become available that way.

msalama Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I tried SUPERVCAA 64x4v12 and had no antialiasing at all. Did you select the enhance option? Because forcing the AA doesn't work anymore. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) With SUPERCVAA set to enhance and DCS MSAA set to 2x I get the exact same antialising and framerates as with NCP set to application controlled. Even turning antialiasing completely off I only get 45fps on the ramp. Edited February 11, 2018 by Nealius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIMJAM Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I was under the impression from numerous post that Nividia inspector settings have no effect. Can someone confirm or deny this? I really hate chasing these Holy Grail placebo settings only to find out I could have been flying instead. And if they DO, which ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The enhance option certainly works at my end at least. But the in-game AA should be on as well, because if it isn't there's nothing to enhance. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Nealius Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Even though it does work with "enhance" selected, DCS MSAA is such a performance killer it almost makes the NCP tweaks pointless for mid-range setups like mine. It seems like you can only take advantage of them if you have a GTX1080 or higher. Edited February 11, 2018 by Nealius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petsild Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3390738&postcount=64 I know :) where can I find the parameter.
