Bay 12 Games Forum

I'd really like to know if there's a significant jump in fps due to Broadwells eDRAM.

Since DF relies on RAM and CPU caches so much, a 128mb L4 cache should prove to be quite a boost in terms of performance.
Maybe its worth upgrading again :p

Well hello there!
Im running a pretty good rig here, 6core phenom 2@3.5ghz and 8gb ram @1666mhz, power is available. version is up to date (phoebus tileset with game included)
5x5 embarks dont cause any trouble at all, even with 150 dwarfes and more but any embark area larger than that is giving me stutters every few seconds from the start. FPS usually hangs around at 80-100 but after these stutters, which completely lock the game and the window, it temporarily goes down by about 20 fps. i already tried turning weather and temp off with no success.
Playing without a tileset also gives stutters, although they're not as long as in phoebus but have the same occurrence.
Already tried LAA ,legacy and fiddling around in the inits, turning the other 5 cores down and removing 1 memory stick and playing with core affinity and priorities.

I've already taken an eye onto other threads about exactly this but nobody knew the answers.
maybe we can start working stuff out again and hopefully find an answer
