It is limited by single thread. The significant usage across all cores shown by Task Manager or Resource Monitor is misleading, as it is an average for each core over a certain time. In reality, Windows is constantly moving the load around, and it's still limited by the performance of a single thread at any instant despite no cores showing 100%. Similar behaviour can be seen with other software, such as PassMark single thread benchmarks.

 

Admittedly, I'm not an expert in these matters, but that's how I've seen it explained. Nevertheless, it's largely academic since benchmarks show a clear single thread dependence.

Is there a thread explaining that chart? Chili, Samuel.. Does any of those represent the actual performance in game? I'd like to see what kind of gear you need to run smooth VR.

Yes. This is the thread. They represent actual performance in game for a particular track, game version, hardware configuration, HMD, etc. Whether they represent typical gameplay is up for debate.

 

I don't really feel qualified to say exactly what hardware is the minimum for acceptable VR performance. On these forums, there are people running a wide range of systems with different expectations for what constitutes smooth performance. However, I can comfortably say that fast CPU and GPU are required.

Thank you. Browsing that thread I realised you truly are right, you still need very, very expensive gear to run it well in VR. Nothing has changed in couple of years sadly.

 

1080p high settings race still for me then ?

Just bit the bullet and slapped in a RTX 2080Ti. Chews IL-2 like a squirrel nuts. FPS boosted to nearly 200. Anyone got a good profile for nVidia Control Panel as GF Experience does not see IL-2.

8 GB RAM 2400Mhz

SSD HD 120GB

1920X1200p 60Hz monitor

 

In game settings: overall video settings HIGH, vsync ON (resolution set to 1920x1200 as this is a native resolution of my monitor), fullscreen off, clouds high, shadows low (still looks good), 2x distant landscape, 40 km distance, 4AA, HDR, Mirrors off, Landscape filter off, Grass normal, Sharpen and SSAO off, Dynamic resolution factor - full, target fps - off (since Im using vsync).

Nvidia control panel - Power - prefer max performance, texture filtering - perform,ance, everything else "use application settings".

 

I have, both, in single player (with 16p lanes tested) and in multiplayer (full servers with 84 ppl) FPS almost constantly locked at 59 (refresh rate of my IPS Dell monitor), sometimes goes to 57 and that's it.

I can't run IL-2 with all max setting in my PC (I know that my processor is the weak ones even as he is pushing my graphic card at 99% usage in this game).

How many FPS are you getting in your machine?

I used to get 190 FPS in the open sky, around 135 FPS with cloudered weather.

 

But nowadays I lock the FPS in 60, because we are in summer and I don't like to see my machine burning hot...

[SCG_ErwinP]

So, 190 FPS in multiplayer server with all setting max, is it?

[FredCroot]

So I've had no issues running the first three IL-2 modules  in 1920x1080 (single player, occasionally with a track IR VR) on an i5-6600K with 8gb RAM and a single 1050 Ti (50-60fps), but Bodenplatte with lots of objects around stutters terribly on the same settings .  The boot drive is SSD but not the drive with IL2 on it, if it makes a difference. 

 

Any suggestions as to what the limiting factor with Bodenplatte is likely to be and what I am likely to need to change to get back to a consistent 50-60fps?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...?

You should do some monitoring to narrow down the cause. If your GPU is hitting 100% usage while your frame rates are low, you can be sure that the graphics card is limiting. Then, decreased settings or an upgrade may be the solution.

A lot of people are having trouble with Bodenplatte if I'm not mistaken. I'd wait for an update before dropping money on hardware.

Hello to every one

 

Could you tell me  what is the best graphics set up for brand new/strong PC? I'm using HP Reverb VR

 

i attach my acutual  set up

 

sorry for my english

[VA_DontSnk]

Been playing a lot of Bodenplatte career mode lately and seem to get a lot of random stuttering. 

 

Should my specs be able to run this sim at high-ultra 1080p?

 

i7 4790k @4.4 GHZ

EVO SSD

16 Gigs of RAM

GTX 1660ti 6GB 

 

[Calius1945]

One thing I had issue with was stuttering and pause jolts low to ground and trees esp on german maps.

 

I know for a fact SSAO & HDR off stopped all of that for me, no matter what else I tweaked, those 2 were my main culprit low to ground/over buildings/trees.

 

GTX1060 6GB

RYZEN 1800X

 

Soon to be upgraded.

[JG1_Wilcke]

I can run IL-2 latest version maxed out at 1920 by 1080. Frames locked at 144fps.

 

Ryzen 3900X, Evga 2080 Super, run IL-2 on an M.2 drive. No burps, no hiccups, settings optimized for spotting aircraft, along with Reshade, to also assist with spotting aircraft.

Sorry mate, but this will never ever work - you will not even have a slide show on low settings.

 

1. Your CPU is way to low to run this program.

2. Your GPU has very low VRAM, I think you can't even start the game.

3. Your 2 GB RAM is insufficient - some maps need the double of your memory available on your system.

 

Didn't want to discourage you, but this is the hard truth.

Hey gents, I'm running an i3 6100 which which has been great gaming CPU for a long time with it's fast single thread performance. With a GTX1660 this i3 still gets the job done, however, I am wondering how big of an improvement I'll see with a new CPU, and what cost effective option for CPU would folks recommend these days for IL2? A fast single thread again I suppose.

Hi mate,

 

your CPU is build for the 1151 socket - so I wouldn't invest money on a older socket architecture. Sooner or later this will be your bottleneck. You better wait

and invest your money on next generation socket type.

64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

 

32.0 GB ram

 

Nvidia RTX 2700 8gig GDDR6

 

Can you please point me towards a thread or any help would greatly be appreciated

Hi everyone, I'm new here and sorry for my english - thanks google translator.
I play sturmovik (high settings) at 1920x1080 with a core i5 3330 and a gtx 1660.
I  don't play too bad but sometimes (for example in the more crowded missions of Steel Birds) the game stutter even if the FPS does not drop below 41.
Do you think that if i buying a 10400f (plus MB  and RAM) I would notice some improvements?

 

Cheers

@Makhno25 The i5 3330 is LGA 1155 socket and the 10400f is LGA 1200 socket. The two are not compatible.

Here is a list of LGA 1155 socket CPUs - https://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket 1155 (LGA1155).html

Thanks for the reply, but when I write that I could change cpu of course I also mean the MB and the RAM.

For Il2 10400F is absolutely OK, I have  i3 9350k and it works fine (online > 144 fps for a balanced mode with the VC Radeon RX 6700XT). 

 

P.S: IL2 uses only 2..3 cores and 4 core CPU is enough. I think that you can try i3 10100F and it will be fine also. My suggestion is to buy a better mainboard (ASUS or similar).

 

P.S.2: You should try to find RTX 2060, it is more than 10% faster than 1660s and usually price is not so high. But this step is only if you will not get a stable 100fps with your Geforce 1660(s? ti?). Usual 1660 (without "S" or "TI") is not fast enough for IL2.

You are right , maybe 10105f is a better choice to avoid money waste.

If i chance CPU i will also buy MSI B460M PRO-VDH and 16 gb of crucial ballistix CL15 - no OC for me.

In italy rtx 2060 costs 750 euros (870 usd) and for me this is too high ?  

I repeat, with my vanilla gtx 1660 and i5 3330 i play satisfactorily but with some stutter in crowded situation and i wondering if changing cpu i will notice some improvements.

It cannot be like that. 

 

P.S: You can buy my Geforce 3070TI FE for 750€:)))) 

 

P.S.2: You can buy Geforce 3xxx directly by NVIDIA ITALY. Check the link below

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FRoS-x8yIyzNWbdZ9viB46C4LjoDkK9Dj4YfbcYxlg0/edit#gid=0

 

P.S.3: Try to find i3 10100f on ebay. I bought it for 70€ last month (with delivery). At the moment do not use it. First should sell my current set.

 

 

you can see that at least 3x pro months there are some FE cards are available on the NVIDIA ITALY page.

Didn't want to even fire up IL-2 on my new system before my headtracker and stick arrived, but I gave it a go anyway.

 

Intel i5-12600K @stock speeds

2x8 GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RGB Pro, CL18 @3600 MHz

MSI Aero GTX 1060 3GB, stock with the usual mild factory OC (<- obvious bottleneck, but with GPU-prices in the stratosphere, what are u going to do?)

Win 11 Pro

 

Since my monitor can run 1440p, I gave that a shot. Messed up with FreeSync/VSync settings, but driving around in a Panther on a quick online map I started up, the game ran at around 36 to well over 50 FPS for me at that resolution with all the bells and whistles cranked up to max (all except for VR and  "far away buildings" IIRC). Felt totally playable to me, no stutters or hiccups to speak of. Switched down to 1080p just to see how big the visual and performance differences would be and the game ran at framerates of up to 80 that way. Jumped into a 109 sitting ready for ground-start on the online map and FPS went into the low 100s on occasion.

 

So far, it seems to me that the 1060 can handle IL-2 just fine - but I've yet to experience some "real" missions with loads of other planes sharing my airspace.

Hello i just tested the new amd drivers with RSR and it's a big improvement on fps

 

In IL2 all max out i had already  solids fps in native resolution 3440x1440  with  with a 3700x at 4,2ghz and a 6700 and little gain on the recent patch.

 

70 on the ground 100 mid air and up to 122 fps

 

 Now with an upscale from 2560x1080 to 3440x1440 it's up to the max refresh rate of my screen 165 fps

 

100 on the ground 125 mid air and 165 max

 

I tested too in dcs i had 66 fps now i've got 100 fps and no problem with image quality. Nice!

 

Sad news it's only available for RDNA and RDNA2 cards not polaris.

 

Tip :Don't forget to reduce your resolution in game and enable RSR in the drivers for your game
