January 1, 201115 yr [Main]ProcSpeed=3802PerfBucket=7 Anyone have any idea about these, they're both in the .cfg by default."ProcSpeed" looks like it might have to do with the CPU clock.

"PerfBucket" I'm clueless. Those are calculated by FSX when you first run the program. It's a "best guess" made by the sim based on your hardware... :( Fr.

January 2, 201115 yr Author Well I dropped the "ProcSpeed" down to "2000" (assuming the number refers to MHz) and I got about a 20~50% increase in FPS (avg. before tweak: 10~15 FPS) with the default Cessna at Friday Harbor. I'll be doing more tests on this one. Paul Gluck.

January 2, 201115 yr Author Doesn't FSX just recalculate it after you change?That would be negative. Paul Gluck.

January 2, 201115 yr Mine's set to:PerfBucket=7ProcSpeed=7009CPU speed ~ 3.2GHz (Q6600)Do you reckon I should 'drop' the ProcSpeed value and test?Thanks
January 2, 201115 yr Author What speed is your cpu at?Look at my sig (look in the CPU-Z validator image.) It's 2GHz. Paul Gluck.

January 2, 201115 yr Moderator You guys need to read this post from Phil Taylor where he explains that changing those values does nothing. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ptaylor/archive/2007/06/01/sp1-tweak-of-the-week-or-not.aspxChanging the procspeed values or any increase you think you get is only placebo effect. Otherwise we would all have been over this long time ago. Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
