Hoirtel Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Seems there is a new Nvidia driver that is supposed to fix several VR issues (465.89), I can say my experience seems to be very positive in DCS VR and I notice its seems much smoother now. I also saw that with this new release, for another sim, people are recommending to now have hardware accelerated GPU scheduling on and also windows game mode on. I haven't yet fully tested this but at the weekend I did mess around with the other sim, switch these on, didn't get that much better performance. However when I ran DCS I seemed to get very good frame rates. Getting full unprojected fps while looking into (down) the F18 cockpit, about 20K over Syria. I haven't ever had that. I thought it was all the driver then I realised that I had not switched these off... I need to do some proper testing when I get time, but thought I see if anyone else has experienced anything similar with any of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryzor Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Really? could be possible to post some fps comparison with HAGS ON vs OFF with 465.89? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robi Hobby Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I also installed the driver and was pleasantly surprised. Before I installed it, I started DCS. A-10CII on Syria quick start, cold start. 23-30 fps on the ground. Better in flight up to 40 fps. With the new drivers I have almost 40 fps on the ground and in the air it was briefly more than 40 fps i7 7700k RTX2070 32GB RAM VR RiftS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxTwo Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 HAGS still causes significant frame rate inconsistency for me, wouldn't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to do some testing, I won't be able to spend much time on it and its unlikely to be fully conclusive so good to get others feedback.

It sounds like the driver could be a great improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryzor Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I will be very interesting to see some fps comparison with HAGS ON/OFF, and with the previous drivers. Please somebody could post some driver comparison between? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not meant to be a fps comparison thread. If people have done testing with before and after then fps or frametimes are helpful (% uplift would be even better). I'm really just after shared experiences to see if people are seeing change rather than anything else. As covered on many other performance threads so many people use the game differently is too difficult to compare fps accurately across systems.

Lange_666 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I'm not looking at FPS numbers either (i cap mine so i don't bother at anything higher then that, as long i can keep the capnumber up). I just wonder what the effect is on different GPU cards. Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

Eldur Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Where can I actually get those? Their drivers seem to be about as available as their cards are...

Hoirtel Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I've not done any proper fps comparison but I think this driver is good. HAGs doesn't seem to make a difference so I've left it off for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Tested HAGS with my system and this new driver and got alot of stutters so I disabled it again. Does not work for me.
