This may just be a DCS thing and no way around it. When capped with riva fps fluctuate from 55-60 fps unless I'm flying around an empty map. If I uncap my fps I never dip below 60 even with heavy missions. I realize I have to lock at 60 fps to get smooth trackir, but I'm wondering if there's any way to maintain a constant 60 fps without dips into the 50's. Yes, I've read all of the threads on subject. To be more clear : the game operates in D3D, trackir in Opengl :) I have a 165hz asus rog pg278qr monitor gsync, 1080ti and a 5.0ghz oc 8700k + 32 gb ram is no solution to this problem, natural point from trackir never akcnowledged the problem, and I am quite sure it is a hardware limitation of the trackir itself.

We need a new head tracking solution that's compatible with modern variable refresh rate monitors.Įmh emh there are severala threads about this issue, I along with other have tried to figure it out, but in 2 years of several attempts the only solution we've found out is to cap fps via msi riva turner which has the lowest input lag detected. I'm curious what other people are using and what the results are. I've tried limiting fps with a, NVInspector, MSI Afterburner and V-sync and pretty much get the same results with all of them. If I could maintain a solid 60 fps somehow in heavy missions I'd be very happy with performance. So, that makes me wonder why I can't maintain a solid 60 fps under load? Is it due to the fps limiting method? Or is it because my gpu isn't running at full performance when capping fps at 60? I normally see 50-70% GPU utilization when capped at 60. My system is easily capable to maintain above 85 fps in the same mission if I uncap the fps. Frequent dips to 55-59 fps cause annoying micro-stuttering. As soon as I load up my AI-heavy test mission I start running into trouble. This all works great flying around on an empty map. I can get buttery smooth trackir tracking when I set my 144hz monitor to 60hz and then lock the fps at 60 as well. To get smooth TrackIR performance I have to limit my FPS to 60 in DCS.

I'm seemingly on a never ending mission to get the smoothest possible experience out of DCS with TrackIR.
