Force FSX make better use of your graphics card

Featured Replies

Hi,Today I downloaded the latest version of GPU-Z and noticed when running FSX only approx 450 MB of my 1 GB memory I have on my GTX285 card was used. Is there a way (maybe with some tweak or similar in FSX.CFG) you can force FSX to make better use of the graphics card and it's memory?

Run at a higher resolution or apply more AA samples if you desire to stress your card more.

I'm already running FSX @ 1920x1200x32, the native resolution for my monitor and with the AA mode recommended in Nick Needham's tuning guide using NHancer and with this setup the AA and the overall graphics quality in FSX is truely great! So...I don't want to stress my graphics card (why would I want to do that?) but what I would like to do if possible is to tune FSX to just as I wrote in my original post make even better use of my hardware and as an effect get even better performance since it appears to be headroom for it looking at the figures I mentioned.

Then there's nothing more to do. Run more complex add-ons or higher-resolution scenery textures. If you want FSX to use your hardware more efficiently, you'd have to re-write the game.

I thought Nick N said only use "Bufferpools" in the config file if the video card has more than 512MBrhha
