Borderline Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Is there anyway, right now, to do a benchmark to find the best setting on DCS 2.5? Also, what kind of settings from the invidia panel would you recommend to have the best in game experience (keep in mind I do play MP)? AMD F-6300, GTX 960, 8GB RAM <- I know those are not the greatest, that`s why I am asking for some help.

Rudel_chw Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 You mean, besides the frame rate counter (RCTL + PAUSE) ?

Yes, other games, like squad or Metro, gives u the possibility of doing a benchmark so you can easily decide the best settings. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHdX0sUUqJgqCASZxKsh2mw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, DCS is more of a simulation than a game, so it doesnt include a benchmark like the games you mention .. ... however, it has the ability to replay a previously recorded game (called a "track" on DCS), so in combination with a tool like Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) you could replay the track with different settings each time, and Fraps would allow you to determine average, max and min fps.

M1Combat Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 "DCS is more of a simulation than a game, so it doesnt include a benchmark like the games you mention" "however, it has the ability to replay a previously recorded game" Soo.... Is it a game or not??? ;) I wouldn't have mentioned it if I didn't feel like you were being so condescending. Anyhow... Yeah record a track and upon playback you can watch the frame-rate with different settings. Also... I think ED should definitely include a standard track that can be used to benchmark by everyone.

M1Combat Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I hear you :). But DCS is still a game :). Have you ever flown the F15/SU27/25T/etc???
