Guide d'optimisation de DCS 2.5 au 05/05/2018

#1

Message par FGhouse »

Messieurs, dames,

Voici un petit guide trouvé sur le forum ED afin de régler ou optimiser DCS en fonction de vos besoins, et surtout de votre config.

Créateur du guide: D.Va, c'est son premier post sur le forum ED, surement un développeur qui nous veut du bien en se cachant derrière un pseudo. :notworthy

En bas de citation, vous trouverez un lien pour DL sous format pdf.

Pour la traduction, Azrayen tu fais ça si bien ! ;)
Hey, DCS 2.5 is here and here’s my DCS 2.5 Optimisation Guide to go with it!
I’m playing in 1080p with a 5-year-old computer and a cheap 1060 graphics card added recently. However, I can amazingly max out almost all options while maintaining 30-60 FPS in DCS 2.5! Keyword “ASAP”, I’ve created a guide, so anyone can play the simulation while at peak performance, without worrying about endlessly experimenting with all options. I have already benchmarked and optimised all options. The aim was to give players a choice of 100%, 50%, 40%, or 30% performance, which on my own machine corresponds to approximately 120 FPS, 60 FPS, 45 FPS, and 35 FPS.
Disclaimer: the guide should apply generally to all systems but was designed in 1920x1080 60 Hz.

Step 1: MINIMUM ALTERNATIVE.
Start by setting all options according to this:
Textures HIGH
Terrain Textures HIGH
Civ. Traffic HIGH
Water HIGH
Visib. Range LOW
Heat Blur HIGH
Shadows OFF
Resolution PERSONAL PREFERENCE
Aspect Ratio PERSONAL PREFERENCE
Monitors PERSONAL PREFERENCE
Res. of Cockpit Displays 1024 EVERY FRAME
MSAA OFF
Depth of Field OFF
Lens Effects DIRT+FLARE
HDR OFF
Deferred Shading ON
Clutter/Grass 1500
Trees Visibility 100%
Preload Radius 100
Chimney Smoke Density 0
Gamma 2
Anisotropic Filtering X16
Terrain Object Shadows OFF
Global Cockpit Illumination ON
Disable Aero Interface OFF
Vsync OFF
Full Screen OFF
Scale GUI OFF

Step 2. THE ALTERNATIVES.
Choose one of the alternatives! Here you get to choose one, two, all three, or none of the three options in DCS 2.5 that strongly affect performance: anti-aliasing, shadows, and visibility range. Choose any one for 50% performance, any two for 40% performance, all three for 30% performance, or none, maintaining the 100% performance Minimum alternative. Hopefully, this abstraction makes your graphics choices easier!

Minimum:
MSAA: OFF
Shadows: OFF
Terrain Object Shadows: OFF
Visib. Range: LOW
Maximum:
MSAA: X8
Shadows: HIGH
Terrain Object Shadows: DEFAULT
Visib. Range: EXTREME
Anti-aliasing:
MSAA: X8
Shadows: HIGH
Terrain Object Shadows: FLAT
Visib. Range: LOW
Anti-aliasing & Shadows:
MSAA: X8
Shadows: HIGH
Terrain Object Shadows: DEFAULT
Visib. Range: LOW
Shadows:
MSAA: X2
Shadows: HIGH
Terrain Object Shadows: DEFAULT
Visib. Range: LOW
Shadows & Visibility Range:
MSAA: X2
Shadows: HIGH
Terrain Object Shadows: DEFAULT
Visib. Range: EXTREME
Visibility Range:
MSAA: X2
Shadows: HIGH
Terrain Object Shadows: FLAT
Visib. Range: EXTREME
Anti-aliasing & Visibility Range:
MSAA: X8
Shadows: HIGH
Terrain Object Shadows: FLAT
Visib. Range: EXTREME

Step 3. CUSTOMISATION GUIDE.
In any of the alternatives above, you can increase or decrease the options according to this. Percentages are cumulative changes in performance, so increasing from MSAA X0 to MSAA X2 decreases performance by 25% and increasing from MSAA X2 to MSAA X4 decreases performance by 25%, for a total change of -50% performance with MSAA X4 compared with MSAA X0.
My personal recommendation is to fly over central Vegas and increase your options until you have a minimum of 30 FPS under any circumstance: flying with lower than 30 FPS is uncomfortable. In any other situation than graphically intensive central Vegas, your FPS will be higher than that. I personally fly with the Anti-aliasing & Shadows alternative, which gives me a min of 30 FPS over Central Vegas.

Il a fait une nouvelle version
Update 09-02-2017: I’ve completely re-written the entire guide!
My guide is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, omitting details. Also check out other guides:

Hey, DCS 2.5 is here and here’s my DCS 2.5 Optimisation Guide to go with it!

My 5-year-old computer with a 1060 graphics card runs DCS 2.5 with almost all options at maximum while maintaining an absolute minimum 30 FPS. The aim with this guide is to give you a choice of 100%, 60%, 40%, or 20% performance, which corresponds to 150 FPS, 90 FPS, 60 FPS, or 30 FPS on my own 1920x1200 machine (a 10% margin in 1920x1080). I fly the Warthog over Vegas in my performance benchmarks as I believe it is one of the most graphically cumbersome scenarios in DCS. I’ve optimised all options and created four presets. Simply set all options to the Minimum preset first and upgrade to the Low, Medium, or High preset, depending on what performance you want.
Download this guide as a PDF here:

A few points:
  • The same ideas should apply to 4K/VR users in general, but 4K users won't want excessive anti-aliasing and VR users will want higher framerates.
  • Players with a 1050, 960, 770, or equivalent cards with only 2GB VRAM may run out of VRAM in 1920x1020, which is something I've had difficulties benchmarking, but Textures, Terrain Textures, MSAA, Shadows, and Visib. Range are the options that you can probably decrease to minimize VRAM usage. I'm playing with 3GB VRAM and it works perfectly fine with 1.8-2.8GB VRAM depending on options.
  • I haven't fully benchmarked Caucasus or Normandy yet.
  • I haven't benchmarked action, with explosions and stuff.
  • I haven't fully benchmarked Res. of Cockpit Displays and Heat Blur yet.
  • I haven't fully benchmarked all minor options for the Low/Medium recommendations yet.
  • I haven't experimented with 3rd party anti-aliasing methods yet.
  • Activating MSAA X8 currently only activates MSAA X4 because of a glitch.
  • Deferred Shading should always be ON, I recommend. If it's OFF, all data in this guide becomes very wildly inaccurate. I also recommend a Gamma of 2.0, but that depends on the brightness of your monitor. How to get the right brightness? If you have an iPhone, turn the volume off, then increase it again with the button four times bringing it to 25% (4/16), then enter the control centre and use the volume bar as a reference to set the brightness to 25% and hold it out in front of your monitor. Match the monitor brightness of white on white. This will be about the same brightness that is commonly recommended for office environments around the world and with that brightness, Gamma 2.0 looks just about right.
  • Vsync is best enforced from outside of DCS.

De rien

Je trouve son deuxième guide plus facile a lire et son approche meilleure, en tous cas pour moi ayant une config moyenne ça marche super bien, avec quelques ajustement perso bien sur
