#Nvidia control panel best settings 3080 1080p#

I see no disadvantage so far in using the 'normal' setting (my 3080 is pushing only a 1080P screen and is usually vsync hobbled in any case) but this has only really been on a few free flights. I only noticed I hadnt altered the power setting when Normandy bombed.Īt present I cant fly but I can be a apssenger to the inevitable keyboard controlled impact with the ground/ or use F2 view. Great battles, clod and even flights in the Causcauses all ran fine. Curiously only the Normandy map showed this. I dony know what the default power setting was for the older cards or if other settings such as optimal would have has a similar effect but that was my experience at the time. With the option set to prefer max performance 72 fps. In the Normandy free flight with an A10 running up towads Pegasus Bridge ( this is back in mid 2018) with the power whatever the default would be 45 fps. I was yanking your chain of course but I did find some old notes frap logs from when I got my 1080 (comparing it to my previous 1060).

Must be someone from the future with an RTX7090 then. The others - ive always set them as per the OP but have never observed any positive or detremental effect.

Of the other settings I do find AA Gamma Coorection -off helps reducing shimmering. Jury is out for me but on my old 1080 setting this and anything other than max chopped the fps in Normandy (for instance) almost in half. This is a really, really old guide but one that users here may find worth reading, as most explanations there still apply today (if biased towards personal opinion of the author), even though the GPUs are way(!!) more potent today than at the time it was written: It was the case before DCS adopted EDGE graphics engine (prior to 2015, when that setting made sense for it) but it's not the case for DCS anymore. Something that is only welcome for games that are very old and/or really CPU limited (with the GPU very underutilized), when a few stutters and drops happen for that reason, because they aren't demanding enough for the graphics card to be in the highest power state (just on the threshold of 60 fps in the lower states). What the 'Maximum Performance' does is making your GPU force/increase a higher power state (as to not downclock as often). Power Management Mode: I'd actually recommend against 'Maximum Performance' if you have a very hot power hungry Nvidia GPU model (1080Ti, 2080Ti, 3080/Ti/3090, etc).

This is a really, really old guide but one that users here may find worth reading, as most explanations there still apply today (if biased towards personal opinion of the author), even though the GPUs are way(!!) more potent today if compared to those at the time it was written: I'd say better leave those at default settings, though of course that is open to personal preference. It was the case before DCS adopted EDGE graphics engine (prior to 2015, when that setting made sense for it) but not anymore or since.ĪA Gamma Correction at 'OFF', Texture Filtering Quality at 'Performance' and Negative Lod Bias at 'Clamp', are of negligible effect (if any, at all) in performance for DCS, likely at detrimental cost of image quality. Something that is only welcome for games that are very old and/or really CPU limited (with the GPU very underutilized), when a few stutters and drops happen for that reason, not being demanding enough for the graphics card to be in the highest power state (just on the threshold of 60 fps in the lower states).

'Optimal Performance' is the prefered/recommended option (and why is set by default) for graphics intensive games, which as of today includes DCS World. Power Management Mode: I'd recommend against 'Maximum Performance', especially if with a very hot power hungry Nvidia GPU model (1080Ti, 2080Ti, 3080/Ti/3090, etc). Just a heads up regarding some of those settings. here are screen shots in case it helps anyone. i went through my specific DCS settings and made the changes to match what i could. i went through settings video, and even some shown were different.

I noticed that when i updated my drivers to 511.23, there were some settings differences.
