Need some help troubleshooting performance issues

[Duce_de_Zoop]

I recently dropped 2k on a new PC. It's the most modern PC I've ever owned, and I really thought it'd run Il-2 like a dream. Or at least without the terrible stuttering on low quality that I experienced on my old machine.

 

But even with most graphic settings set to low or turned off, I am getting at most 20 fps. I'm pretty disappointed because I can barely even run PWCG-generated missions. I don't get what else I can do to help with performance. If anyone has any advice or tricks I'd appreciate it.

 

Here's my settings:

 

 

and Here's my specs:

You say it "barely even runs PWCG missions"  - those can be pretty hard for any PC on earth, depends on your PWCG settings.

How is it doing in a simple quick mission?

Try with very little planes and ground stuff, you should then have it running smoothly with graphics maxed out.

Then add AI stuff, planes and such, and increase their numbers.Before you have checked the GPU, this will then tell you how your CPU is doing.

Make sure, thruogh the bios settings, that you are using the nVidia graphics card and not the cpus graphics!

Even in quick missions it tends to have pretty poor FPS.

This improved frames by 10 or so FPS but I was still having problems, as well as a black bar glitch. So I dug deeper and... turns out I need to plug my monitor directly into a "display port" slot instead of HDMI. I've never owned a gaming PC till now, only laptops, so I had no idea it was all so finicky haha.

 

This entire time I've been a cable away from stable gameplay.... hopefully someone else having this problem can find this thread. The two solutions are Bios and the Display Port.

 

Thank you guys!
