Guide to Boost FPS

First of all

Make sure your HW drivers are up to date. Also I recommend to download and install all drivers from HW manufacturer sites. The drivers installed by Windows are not the best ones.

Then, delete folders “fxo” and “metashaders2” located in directory “%userprofile%\saved games\dcs\” The directory might be different if you changed the destination of user files (documents, music, video…).

• Run game. Open graphics options menu.
• Uncheck Vsync.
• Check Full Screen.
• Use only one kind of AA. MSAA or SSAA. Do not use both. They don’t like that. Your screen have quite high resolution. IMO the MSAA 2x will be enough.
• For mirrors do not use “every frame” option.
• I suggest to not use bokeh and depth of field (they mean depth of focus).
