The neverending FPS quest ;)

Hi there,
i got a Private Message from Turan about my setup, and how I achieve 60+ Frames in BMS with my Dual Monitor Setup, which is quite similar to his rig, but which gives him 50 at most (without any CDE/MFDE enabled)
I decided to post my settings here for Turan to review, and also for anybody, who might find something in my setup, which I could improve.I have
i5 6600 Skylake - ASUS Z170 Pro - Sapphire R9 270 - 16GB RAM - 128GB SSD - 1024 GB HDD
TrackIR 4 - Saitek X45 - Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs -
Dual Monitor (1920*1080 for 3D + SXGA for MFD-Extractor plus built-in Cockpit Display Extraction)Turan states, that his rig is consists of:
i5 6600k,8GB DDR4 RAM,R9 270X GPU and single 1080x1920 Monitor(no any extractions)
which leaves open the question, which motherboard he has (and how much influence this has)My settings are:
In game:
Multisampling off
Verticsal Sync off
Canopy cues: reflexion
Obejct Density: 6/default
Object Detail: 7/ default
Tree Density: about half of default
Grass: offAdvanced:
Anisotropic Filtering: on
Mipmapping:on
Linear Mipmap filtering: on
Texel Bias Fix: on

You seem to have every thing turned off, except for “canopy reflections”
your 60 fps are a bit on the boring side. To me its a wast of a semi decent rig.
-
Also object detail level.

Thank you bro it is easy to increase FPS with your suggestions
-
You WILL get an fps drop due to display extraction, no way around that. Less drop using MFDE than using CDE though, and might want to try out YAME64.

Maybe a tip to double your FPS … it works on DCS … if someone can try this on F4BMS:

AMAZING ! just try to show FPS with Shadow play and RECORD ! your FPS Will Explode ! the game became very smooth. the DEVS must take that in consideration for next patchs

I think you can say it was.

Personally, I’d rather crank the detail up and have more immersion with a lower FPS. I’m pretty much at 60FPS all the time with everything almost maxed out. FPS dips a lot with lots of smoke stacks in view, but otherwise I’m happy.
I’m very keen to try the shadowplay trick. It’s a great video capture tool. You can set it so that on a single button press, it will save the previous 5 mins gameplay as a video.
-
Will give it a go later, not convinced, my rig is pretty low at the moment so should be a good test.
just tried it no difference in fps or smoothness v sync off.

Do you have default - stock settings on vga and gfx settings only controled by bms gfx settings? What is your mipmaping setting? Above 2 is not actually needed. Nice but too much.

Hello.
I want to upgrade the cpu or gpu.
Which do you think is better?Part candidate gtx980 or 4790k.
My pc spec
corei5 4670
Z87 Extreme4
DDR3 PC3-17000 4Gx2
zotac gtx580 1.5gb
windows7 64bitkind Regards

If the CPU is overclockable then go for the gpu.
-
thankyou reply Arth.
It doesn’t overclock.
my cpu is not “K” -
monitors?
-
monitors?
1920x1080 27inch x1
1920x1080 24inch touchmonitor x1
helios & MFDEFPS decreases in FLIR training.

Your CPU is good enough, go for V-card and I think you better take Nvidia 980 or maybe in ~same price you better already go for the newer GTX-1070 no?
