One Unit in Editor:
Time in the Editor: 11:00 am / 11:00 -> 74 FPS
Time in the Editor: 11:00 pm / 23:00 -> 50 FPS
Back to 11:00 am / 11:00 -> 64 FPS
-10 FPS.
What I found out:
Switch in Graphics Settings HDR to low and back to standard -> Full FPS again at 11:00 am / 11:00 (74 FPS). {F24933} {F24934} {F24935} {F24936}
2D Editor -> Place a unit -> Set the time to 11:00 am -> Go ingame -> Go back to the 2D Editor -> Set the time to 11:00 pm -> Go ingame -> Go back to the 2D Editor -> Set the time to 11:00 am -> Go ingame.
Switch in Graphics Settings HDR -> low -> standard. Full FPS again.
I can confirm that my GPU usage rised bit over 10% and resetting HDR solved the problem.
I tested this with RC so it's not just one branch problem.
I confirmed this on DEV also. Seems to be that every setting that does blnk the screen black pefore it sets resets the fps loss.
I tried that I go in the main menu between every step but there was still some loss happening.
My specs:
i7 2600K @ 4,4GHz
GTX 680 2GB
Samsung SSD 840 250GB
WD Caviar Blue 500GB
G.Skill RipjawsX 2x4GB
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
I have GTX 760 as well but do not see any drops at all. Could you please upload your DXDiag and screenshots of your graphical settings?
Oh yeah, sry Iceman. Information added.
+ Arma 3 Startup Parameters: -nosplash -world=empty
I think I judged this too soon. There's fps loss but it gets back after playing 5 seconds or so. But with adaptive vsync there's more GPU usage when you do this but that didn't really meant any fps loss when I tested more.
