Optimization?

[Augusto_Vicco]

Hello there,

 

I recently tried jumping back into IL-2 BOS, and quickly realized why i had stoped in the first place. The problem being that even on low settings with options like HDR, SSAO, and antialiasing turned down or off completely, the game barley reaches 20 FPS. This is odd considering that my system is an MSI GE72VR with a i7-7700HQ, GTX 1060, 16gb ram, and windows 10. So I was wondering if there was something I could do about this, or whether this is just down to poor optimization?

The sim seems to be quite well optimized for most people. I play on Ultra with everything maxed out and I get consistent 60fps on my six year old system.

 

Don't know enough about your hardware to say, what you can do, but no doubt someone can help.

There must be something wrong with your settings. I have gtx1070 + i5 6600k. I run petty much everything in maximum with a QHD monitor and the FPS never goes below 60.

 

Didn't see you are on a laptop. Check whether you used the correct graphics card.

I basically have your computer, OP, aside from that my CPU is an older-model i5 from 2011-2012. I can run the game at the High preset, 4x terrain detail, SSAO and HDR on, shadows set to Ultra, grass to Detailed and mirrors to Complex, and 2x antialiasing, and I get ca 55-100 fps.

 

Something is wrong with your rig. First thing I'd do is to make a clean reinstall of the graphics drives.

I have the same laptop except mine is a 1070 and it's not our optimization. You are using the Intel integrated graphics chip by mistake instead of your 1060. You have to go into your Nvidia settings and tell the computer to use the 1060 and not Intel. Very simple. Takes 2 seconds.

 

I can max out everything and break 100 FPS on this 120Hz screen that this laptop has.

What?? I have similar specs and I play on ultra preset ,ssao on other option mostly maxed out @3440x1440 and my fps are in range of 80 on the ground to 170 in the air.

This is my first thought too. That, or power saving settings.

 

Check Nvidia control panel to make sure you're using the 1060 for IL2 and best performance settings instead of balanced or power saving.

As others said something is wrong with your pc (drivers or something).

I run it on ultra and max settings and lowest fps count i get is 80fps as i noticed.

I7 6700k stock speed, gtx1070, 16gb 2400mhz ram on 2k 144hz monitor.

[ShamrockOneFive]

Something must be wrong there as others say. I get a consistent 40-60fps even in demanding situations on the new Kuban map (which is more demanding itself) on my Core i5 6600, GTX 960, 8GB DDR4 ram. IL-2: BoX series is now very well optimized and has been improved significantly in the last 9 months.

i hated the experience on my homebuilt Rig (I7 7700k, amd Rx580, 32GB, M.2 and ssds all around...)
the results was black screens every few seconds.
unplayable.

disabled the Gfx card, removed the drivers. and put it all together again...
4K, medium settings and cruising at 30 fps locked.

i too,  think that there is a gremlin in your Laptop :-(
Try jason´s tip and please let us knoow

You too most certainly were suffering on the broken HD630 GPU that is integrated in the Kaby Lake CPU. Check your BIOS setting.

I play IL2 with similar PC-hardware under Windows 10 and never ever got that bad fps.

 

As mentioned first check if the NVIDIA is activated and not the on board GPU.

Second check if you have the newest NVIDIA driver installed and get the newest.

 

I'm sure, that will solve your fps problems.

hey thaks for the tip!

[Augusto_Vicco]

Guys,

 

Thank you all for your quick responses, but as Jason first said; I had to mess with some setting in the Nvidia control panel to make sure IL2 was not using integrated graphics. And now im breaking 100 FPS

Good news! Glad you got it working.

Awesome, OP! Welcome to amazingness!
