Nice!

I’m excited to try this also…See if it helps my ridiculously low hit percentage :sweat_smile:

You’ll be flying around S.A. and you witness this:

Anyone seeing decreased performance with this patch? Seems like my frame rates tanked today.

No, I actually gained a few FPS with this patch.

I also get better FPS post patch, in both the Mirage F1 and Mirage 2000 on the caucasus map.

It’s almost at the stage of not needing image reprojection/motion smoothing/whatever at high alt with few units, I was actually getting the full 90 fps when looking out to sea!

Same here….I’m wondering if “Multi-Threading “ has slowly been phased in?? :face_with_monocle:

Same. I was flying on a the 4YA WWII Server with ~30 people on last night and got a solid 90fps while I was out over the Channel at 6000m, almost stable 90 over land and around 80 down low and on the ground.

Flying the latest update vs reading the notes about latest update:

Think I only have time today to do one…

Those of you seeing improvement, VR or flatscreen?

VR only for me, I don’t fly flatscreen any more.

Also using the VR graphics preset with view distance increased to “medium” and FSAA mask size at 0.2

VR here also…Pima 8kx ,12900K @5GHz 3800ti…I haven’t even looked at frames it just seems super smooth.

What’s your secret to stable 5Ghz? I had my 9600k around there and DCS ran fine, but Davinci Resolve kept giving me BSODs so I had to reduce my overclock to 4.6Ghz. I’m tempted to push back up to 4.8, but afraid of going 5.0 again.

Won’t the 12900k turbo to 5.2 GHz on its own? DCS doesn’t utilise more than 2 cores so that should work just fine.

Just the stock Turbo boost of the 12900k really…runs a bit hot but stable.

Ah, I think my stock turbo is only to 4.6. Anything above that I have to mess with voltage and other quantum physics.

Yeah modern high end CPUs are pretty much at the stable limit for the lowest common denominator already. It’s not like an i7 920 where you can easily push it to 1GHz over stock settings on a simple air cooler (I had mine at 4GHz on a Noctua cooler :smiley: ).

If you’re lucky and have the patience you can squeeze out a few more MHz with good cooling but it won’t make a huge difference.

My 5900X is advertised to boost to 4.8GHz but it always goes to 4.95GHz single core and I have seen it almost crack 5GHz during the winter. I bet if I would get a better cooler it would just go to 5GHz without me doing anything lol.

At the moment I’m running one of those three-fan water coolers. Temps were still cool at 5Ghz but I think something wasn’t stable with my voltage…or maybe some weird interaction with my graphics card since the crashes were always with video editing. No idea.

On the subject of VR performance, it might have actually improved a bit. I accidentally ran a training mission with all high settings and had stable 25fps. Sluggish, but stable haha. When I reverted to my usual VR settings I was getting around 50fps, buttery smooth on the deck in the Viggen. I need to try the Supercarrier+Tomcat, since that’s the ultimate framerate killer for me.

And onto the Viggen, did she get an FM update? She feels waaaaaaaay different than when I flew her in January.
