FPS impact of 4.35

wILL 435 RUN IN 3D AT 2560X1440?

I72600K 3.40GHz-3.70 , 16Go RAM GTX 770
Never been so fluid , sharpened graphics , I’m in heaven
… What else ?
-
Try. And tell us.
I see not reasons why it wouldn’t.Im a little rusty and do not see that resolution option in the UI settings.
-
Wasn’t there something to do with hex editing for specific resolutions?

No magigal hex editing. If not all resolutions are shown ion BMS Graphics setup just add
set g_bAllowAllRefreshRates 1
in your Falcon Bms.cfg fileBMS Technical Manual p.13-164
g_bAllowAllRefreshRates
When set to 1 this option disables the 60 Hz limit of BMS,
allowing BMS to display resolutions with lower refresh rates
(when using HDMI on larger monitors for instance). Default
value is 0; Range 0/1. -
Very dissapointed this is removed and merged with shadow mapping
set g_bFocusShadows 0
Thats a huge amount of performance on the table that allowed you to keep cockpit shadows. Now have to remove them both.

DX11 …

Are shadows calculated/rendered for everything in the 3d environment even when they’re not visible?
-
Does the new engine support SMT? Is it working correctly on AMD? Not a single core on my CPU is maxed out like it did on 4.34. I’ve done some comparisons amongst friends and Intel seems to have a significant advantage with the new engine.

No…
Of course the engine has frustum culling on EVERYTHING (live render and shadow maps) so objects you don’t see are removed already before submitting for rendering.
Also shadow maps range for objects is pretty low so anything above that range will not be rendered at all.Does the new engine support SMT? Is it working correctly on AMD?

Falcon is (ever was) overthreaded. The reason why it’s not as efficient as taking advantage of modern CPUs multi-core design is simply because the code at many points is inefficient.
However, the new engine (Not only it’s DX11 but it’s a new engine built using state of the art methods) is taking more advantage of multi threading because unlike previous versions, the renderer runs (almost) independently from other parts of the code. That’s why you can see the 3rd FPS row at pretty high numbers, because that’s the rendering engine thread speed.Regarding Intel vs AMD, no comment… Maybe Intel’s is better after all, even though all the AMD hype?

Thanks for the explanations. I bring it up because there was a bug in a recently released title, Cyberpunk 2077, that handicapped AMD processors and not Intel. Wishful thinking that y’all would be like “hmmm, wow, it is a bug”. 15 FPS on the ground in a campaign is just weird now when I was at 50 FPS on the ground and always a solid 60 vsync’d in the air in .34. Turning off shadows helps almost 100% but, man, I love me some eye candy! I managed to snag a 5600x to drop in to replace my 2600 so that should help a bit. Appreciate your work and look forward to the optimizations and improvements of the new engine in the future.

5600x and 3080 down to 29fps along the FLOT Rolling fire day 1 with shadows on. With shadows off i haven’t seen it below 100 but without cockpit shadows looking very dated.
-
what resolution are you guys on?
-
4k but resolution doesn’t matter when your GPU is only 15% utilized due to waiting on CPU to send frames I see the same framerate whether I’m running 720p or 4k.

What’s your cpu?
-
Ryzen 2600 at 3.8ghz

Well guys 4k is super demanding.
2600 ryzen is almost my cpu 2600k, I’m always above 4ghz and I have way more horizontal res but lower vertical (1200).
And though my vga is pcie 3 my mobo is pcie2.
I’m ok, haven’t tested campaign but with the fps I see I believe I’m ok.
For me 4k needs deep pockets and if not latest gen hw maybe previous gen could be ok.
Consider lowering your resolution in case you r not for a hw upgrade.Στάλθηκε από το MI 5 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

With i7-9700k and rtx2080 super with 2k resolution, at ramp in TE mission (lots going on at airport it seems):
FPS overall 40ish, sim 40ish, render 100ish; monitor FPS counter 40ish too
CPU utilization about 30%, clock speed 4.6 (Intel turbo boost enabled), 1 core
It seems those numbers are low given utilization of the CPU.
It all seems smooth enough and improves drastically once in the air. Using shadows, but without all these double. Really looks better with shadows.
Is this indeed where the FPS should be? Thought it would be higher. Any thoughts?
