In game and nvidia graphic settings help thanks


Recommended Posts

Only Nvidea setting i'm aware of that affects DCS is "performance vs temperature-or power"

 

Further suggestions regarding DCS settings are dependent upon your monitor resolution .

 

Generally , MXAA , SSAA and terrain shadows settings are the most villainous regarding fps .

Trying to find out what setting I should set in nvidia options vs ingame.

And also what settings hit the fps the hardest?

 

 

I want to stay above 60 fps if a I can.

 

 

 

My specs are.

Gigabyte rtx 2070 gaming oc

 

i5-6600k @4.2

 

Team Group Elite 16GB DDR4

 

 

 

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

Display type and resolution matter. I don't list my specs in my sig to be a showoff ;)

It aint easy oi help you with a magic glass bowl alone.

 

The reason Pilots list their specs is not to show off or something, it's the technical base we work from.

Correct I'm ot showing off or anything as my computer not that good compared to most peaple on here. only my gpu new after waiting for 4 years to upgrade from a R290 :)

 

Specs are just to see what setting I should try or not even have on.

 

 

 

 

 

I loaded up the Khashuri mission and my fps is about 110 but my cpu and gpu usage seems on the low slide?

 

 

I play on 1080 TV thank you.

Nobody was accusing you of showing off. :) Just asking for more information. Sorry if I was a bit of a smart ***.

 

Is it safe to assume you're using helios to export MFD's to another screen or screens?

 

In NV Control panel, the major thing you want is in your dcs.exe profile under "Power management" to be set to "Prefer maximum performance".

 

The only other settings that might effect anything in NV Control panel:

 

you can use FXAA in place of in-game anti-aliasing options. if MSAA or SSAA causes too much of a performance loss.

 

You can also play around with the texture filtering options, and setting "Texture filtering - Quality" to High Quality disables all texture filtering options. There are descriptions for each of these settings at the bottom of nvcontrol panel.

 

Also when looking at CPU performance, look at individual core performance. One core running at 99% is 25% total usage on a quadcore. Your screen shows 43% total CPU usage. Given the single threaded nature of DX11 that could indicate a CPU bottleneck, which would explain why your gpu isn't maxed, given that you have the correct power management setting for dcs.exe in nv control panel.

 

If CPU bottlenecked, resolution increases could put more load on the GPU and offer better quality to performance ratio, although using helios I'm unsure how well that would work. But you can use the in-game SSAA setting to test higher resolutions.

 

If your ingame res was 1920x1080, I'd say you could probably get away with at least 1.5 SSAA. With helios causing 3840x1080, SSAA might be way too many pixels.

 

You can try using DSR in NV Control Panel instead of SSAA for resolution increases, but be prepared for a bit of a pita as you have to configure DCS run at whatever resolution DSR would be. Native res - 3840x1080 + DSR 1.25 = (3840*1.25)x(1080*1.25), and you might have to guess where to actually click with the mouse in DCS until you get it set to the correct resolution.

Thank you so much for that information :)

 

 

I'm not using helios yet as I had trouble getting it to work before.

So I just have custom file I got from a tutorial to export to me smaller 1080 screen.
