taffy2jeffmorgan Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Hi All, I have just notice some lag/stutter during combat which was not there before, i'm thinking that this could be since the latest upgrade, prior to the upgrade i ran my GTX 970 at ultra setting and everything ran good, I have dropped my settings down from ultra to balanced but still experiencing the odd stutter, i may have to drop down to the low setting. My specs at the moment- Gigabyte GTX 970, memory 8 GB [DDR3] So to run the sim at its best effect [ultra] would it be advisable to start thinking about at least a GTX 1050 ? A Gigabyte GTX 1050 4GB would cost $290 [australian] Thanks
bubo942 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Dont buy GTX 1050 Ti 4GB as a replacement for GTX 970 .GTX 1050 Ti is on same performance level as GTX 960 4GB . Edited June 12, 2018 by bubo942
taffy2jeffmorgan Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks for that advice, so which card next that will show me a marked improvement over the 970.

taffy2jeffmorgan Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks Seb, yes your right, the CPU could be a factor, the cost is going up !!!
bubo942 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Also adding another stick of 8GB DDR3 memory will help ,but if you know that you have weak CPU replace it .
Mitthrawnuruodo Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 What CPU are you using? The GTX 970 should do balanced settings @1080p with no trouble. It’s quite likely that the CPU is the problem. 21 minutes ago, bubo942 said: Also adding another stick of 8GB DDR3 memory will help ,but if you know that you have weak CPU replace it . 8 GB is sufficient. A RAM upgrade won’t affect Il-2 performance. if you do end up upgrading the GPU, you’ll need a GTX1070 to get an improvement.
13Nrv Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) GTX970 4 gig msi overclocked edition here , run ultra with a i7 860 ... yes the i7 is overclocked from 2.8 to 3.7 ... and yes its a 2011 cpu .... settings ingame no Hdr but its just a matter of taste , it doesn t kill fps fps killers ? : shadows : set it to high ....ultra is a great fps killer distant landscape with 4 gigs of Vram not more than X3 , set it to X4 and fps are dead .... Grass quality an other great fps killer , set to distant ....ultra kill fps ...normal is ugly ....but a fps booster ... Clouds high Visibility aka "horizon draw distance" set to 100 kms but might work higher , does not appear as an fps killer , try different settings ... AA X 4 No v sync in game , and in nvidia pannel conf, Vsync set to fast ----> no tearing in cockpit at all with these setting ... 1080 p of course And windowed not fullscreen No tearing smooth playing online / offline ... even if fps often under the refresh rate of 60 .... it s always smooth ... Will a 1070 be better for you ?....it s all depending on the other parts of your rig ...especially CPU and RAM not quantity but speed ...and motherboard too depending on PCIe X ...i m running a p7p55D yep : 2011 pcie X2 .... 1050Ti will barely change nothing ... 1060 with 6 gigs will only manage distant landscape set to X4 instead of X3 ....thanks to 6 gigs instead of 4 .... worth the cost ?.... Ahhh and Adding 8GB of ram will help in nothing concerning Bos ... Edited June 12, 2018 by 13Nrv

carosel43 Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 I ran my 970 at 1440p and it was starting to struggle. I upgraded to a 1070 and locked it to my 75hz monitor. I never get drops below 75fps with everything maxed out and 2560x1440 resolution. The gpu is rarely loaded above 70% in flight and only in the 90% area on the ground. I use 8gb system ram and an i5 4690k @ 4.5ghz. To get an idea of how your cpu is doing (it should be fine) fire up msi afterburner and enable the on screen display. You can see your cpu load in real time as you fly. If the cpu is getting towards 90% utilisation then its going to start holding you back. My 4690 averages about 60% so im not worried about it at all
