-> For GPU testing I recommend looking at Beyrouth on the Syria map to get a worse-case scenario. GPU wise (with lots of clouds/rain to test cloud settings, at sunset or sunrise to test shadows).

PS: Intel PresentMon (recently released in beta) is a great tool for all GPUs and CPUs to find out what is limiting you (the DCS performance overlay is often wrong in that regard)

BCL series bar lights connect to Basler ace U and ace L camera models by plug and play. Control lighting mode, lighting time, and dimming of lighting through the camera software. Available in 3 sizes: 100 x 15 mm, 150 x 15 mm, 200 x 15 mm and 3 LED emission colors: red, blue, and white. Diffuser and polarizing plate are available as options.

2-I'll only cover some settings which I have found be good performance levers with little visual fidelity lost, first video linked below covers the rest in detail.

Are you still registered with CCS members? If you register as a CCS member, you will be able to log in and register with the CCS members, download various materials (drawings, instruction manuals etc), select "lighting selection", "apply for lending machine", " It becomes possible to browse and download all contents of our site including request of "quotation" and "catalog", and it will be possible to use many convenient functions. Come and register.

1 - Testing settings one by one is recommended since every machine is different. Find a worst-case scenario for the GPU or CPU to test.

4 - Most if not all settings are GPU performance hits only. So if you are CPU limited (use PresentMon), turning up settings will not change your FPS.

-> For CPU testing, a heavy MP server (Blueflag, Enigma Cold War, etc.) or a heavy single-player mission (dozens of AI moving offroad, SAMs searching/firing, etc.)

3 - The NVCP has only one setting that affects DCS in VR, that is V-sync set to "fast" which can improve performance in some specific scenarios. The rest is not working (see 2nd video).

5 - Most of these settings have performance hits in different contexts, which is why again, a "reasonable" worst-case scenario should be made up and used for testing

Going back and forth to find the perfect settings in DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) can be a bit frustrating and time-consuming! Here we cover our findings (and those from the Pimax community). You may need to do a bit of tweaking depending on your system, but hopefully, we save you some time with these recommended VR graphic settings for DCS.
