I experienced a really interesting phenomenon in MWO.

When the HUD is on i have instable 25-70 FPS in the game (massive slowdowns).
When i shut off the HUD i have stable 60-70 FPS .
My System

AMD A10-7870K at 4,5 GHz
8GB Dual channel 1600 MHz ram
GT 1030 GDDR5 2 Gb video card
and HDD

Anybody experienced these things?

Possible to fix this problem somehow?

HUD is done in flash, and is a real hog in the game.

You can reduce it's impact by making it refresh less often, every X frames, by adding this into your user.cfg

gp_hud_ams_update = 6
gp_hud_compass_update = 4
gp_hud_ecm_update = 6
gp_hud_engine_update = 6
gp_hud_heading_update = 4
gp_hud_heat_update = 2
gp_hud_targetinfo_update = 6
gp_hud_textwarning_update = 6
gp_hud_throttle_update = 6
gp_hud_weapon_update = 6

More about this and other tweaks you can find in this topic: https://mwomercs.com...current-usercfg

Use the describe steps to create a user.cfg (it's only a text file)
But i would not recommend to use the provided user.cfg (unless you understand what's involved).

A lot of those variables are invalid or locked by the game so they do nothing.
Some values are invalid, they will break some effects or degrade performance (for example, it disables the test to ignore hidden water).

If your problem is the hud, you can try :
gp_hud_ams_update = X
gp_hud_compass_update = X
gp_hud_ecm_update = X
gp_hud_engine_update = X
gp_hud_heading_update = X
gp_hud_heat_update = X
gp_hud_targetinfo_update = X
gp_hud_textwarning_update = X
gp_hud_throttle_update = X
gp_hud_weapon_update = X (X=1 updates the component every frame, X=2 every 2 frames, etc)
sys_flash_newstencilclear=1 to speed up the way MWO redraw some hud parts.
r_PostProcessHUD3D=0 to disable posprocessing on the HUD

Do you remove only the HUD or also the cockpit ?
