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). What the "Maximum Performance" does is making your GPU force/increase a higher power state (as to not downclock as often). "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.


Nvidia power management mode optimal vs adaptive drivers#
I noticed that when i updated my drivers to 511.23, there were some settings differences.
