Your video led me to purchase the 4080s. An upgrade from my 3070ti and definitely worth it as I fly helicopters only what eats out a lot of performance
Hey, I'm glad it helped you, that was the point of making the video in the first place. I remember when I upgraded from my old PC (i7 9600f, 32GB DDR4, 2060) to the current one (R7 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5, 4080). I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning lol. Enjoy the feeling, it does fade unfortunately.
Really nice video! Production quality way too high for a channel with just 700 subs!! Learnt a lot from this video since I’m looking to upgrade my GPU from a 3060 to a 3090. Great job, and thanks!
Glad i could help you bud. You'll love the upgrade. I try and keep my production as high quality as possible, whether I have 1 subscriber or 10 million.
Next time I suggest sticking with one aircraft (constant variable) - using multipla AC introduces more changing variables, which can have an impact on your results. Through my own testing I discovered that different AC have more or less impact on fps. For example, the older F-5 sucks up more fps than the newer F-16 (somewhere around 5-10 depending on map). This was surprising to me because the avionics in the F-5 are simplified compared to the F-16. I suspect the differences could be due to texture optimization or something I'm not considering. I kept everything constant except for the aircraft. That said, very nice video. Thanks for taking the time out to create and share it with us. You definitely touched on a topic that was on my mind. Cheers!
@@MeanStreakGaming I responded before viewing the entire but figured you were on to something when you did the taxi test with the Strike Eagle and mentioned that the cockpit is resource heavy. Still, a nice video... I took a few notes. 😁
Good video that should show Ed that they need their mapmakers to optimize a little better as well I see you did not use the Apache helicopter which is the biggest FPS killer of all
I've maxed it out. All settings. The micro stutters you're seeing is because I record at 60fps and the fps of the game changes. That was the point for the purposes.kf this video. Normally I lit my fps to 60, and record at 60 so it's all smooth.
Are you satisfied with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor in DCS? Do you have problems with MT version, related to heavy or micro stuttering, freezes, CPU bound and other relevant problems that DCS users reported since the 2.9 was introduced?
I have a HUGE FPS drop when I taxi onto the Runway and get ready for take off on the Normandy 2.0 map with Static planes on the field and moving trucks and soldiers walking security around planes. I will go from 90 to 30 FPS the second I get onto the runway for takeoff.
@@MeanStreakGaming The confusing thing is whether or not you still need to load it as a separate .exe. I would have thought it would have been the default by now.
the difference between 110 fps and 52 fps is extremely noticeable on a 144hz or higher monitor, anything below 60 feels choppy after being used to 100 hz+ this video isn't really a good example though because the most youtube allows you to see is 60 fps
Yeah that's true. Can't really visually see it, just trust the fps counter. This video is basically just a starting point so people can continue tweaking their own settings starting off my benchmarks.
I don't use VR, I can't help you there, sorry. But a good rule of thumb is, provided you use the same graphics settings, to take the FPS I got and cut it in half. Because VR likes to eat frames. So if you're planning a PC upgrade and want to play in VR at 4k and max graphics, a 4080 isn't gonna cut it. You might want the 4090, and think about a step up from my CPU as well. Maybe 7900, maybe even 7950X3D. It's pricey but it'll get you performance. Just bear in mind, I'm not an expert, so take what I tell you with a grain of salt and consult an actual expert before making your decisions.

@@MeanStreakGaming ha ha I know that the hunger for more resolution, smoother, larger screen, or even VR does never stop
@thomas_ger4098 Yeah, it never stops lol
Thanks for that video that help me in my pc choice !!!!
You're welcome bud, glad I could help

You're right, I should have done that, it did occur to me afterwards.

@@Talon-RAppreciate it =)
Thank you.
You're welcome, bud.

Yeah I'm not a helicopter guy, so I don't own the Apache.
Nice video - but wouldn´t it have been better to use the same aircraft for all tests ?
Doesn't really matter on the less demanding maps, the important plane was the strike eagle on Sinai.
Don’t forget that you’re also recording and that’s very demanding!
yeah that's true
These microstutters are immersion killers. Set up the building and forest quality to 0.8. Now it is butter smooth.

I got to say I haven't noticed any issues since my PC upgrade. I'm very happy with the CPU.
What cpu do you have?
Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Yeah, usually taxiing is an fps drop. And when there's a lot of things happening around you, it affects performance.
Give it the beans!
Beans given
Crazy fos count. Not sure what my card will do😊
Just have to try and see 😎
Usually first response from friends is DCS is better than Microsoft flight Sim in VR. So much faster and more stable.
I wouldn't know about VR, but DCS is pretty stable and smooth
🤘
I enjoy using DLSS in VR after going back and forth with the other settings. Almost doubled my fps in many circumstances.
I've found that I prefer the way MSAA looks. But yes, DLSS increases performance for sure
I had some issues with reflections in the cockpit glass looking blocky with DLSS. But that was 2-3 patches aog. Will give it another try.
DLSS is basically to improve performance on lower end machines, if you want quality, turn it off
@@MeanStreakGaming I need a 4090 card. But I'm waiting for employment with a defense contractor.
I have a 4080 and I'm happy with it
How it performs with dlss
It performs better, you get higher fps but it looks like crap.
do you have a gen 5 ssd?
I believe so
Are you using the multithreaded branch? If you mentioned that, I missed it.
You're right, I didn't mention it, but yes, I'm using multithreading. I'd think almost everyone would be using it by now.
@@MeanStreakGaming The confusing thing is whether or not you still need to load it as a separate .exe. I would have thought it would have been the default by now.
Yeah, it's still a separate .exe. I guess ED will make it standard when they're ready.
I don't see the difference between 110 fps and 52 fps. VR will cut FPS in half, even with an RTX 4090.

what FOV settings do u use for ALL the modules?
I use the default, I never changed it, I just use the zoom option mapped to a dial on my hotas.
Mmmh, thanks :D@@MeanStreakGaming
Hi, are you happy with the 34" monitor? Would you say ultrawide is better for DCS?
It sure gives you a wider field of view. But I'm really happy with the OLED screen
Meanstreak I see j have vsync on could u tell me what settings u have on your 4080 . Am running the 4090 and my games don't look as good as that
I didn't change any settings on the card itself, just dcs. I'm using reshade, that might be why.
When I look at the lines on runway and other stuff like fence I get a lot of flickering it looks terrible
Are you using DLSS? That might be an explanation. DLSS is basically to improve performance on low end machines. I use MSAA, looks way better.
@MeanStreakGaming I am using DLSS I tried your settings and the flickering was even worse
What's your monitor max hz?
Do you use reshade or why does your Game Look that realistic?
I do use reshade.
@@MeanStreakGaming can you make a video showing your reshade settings?
I can just send you the preset if you want.
@@MeanStreakGaming that would be great
