My dear AVSimmers, I need your help with this poll.This poll strictly applies to SB users, especially those at 4Ghz+.Clarifications:BP=0 - Usepools=0, Bufferpools=0 in FSX.CFGExternal Limiter - FPS Limiter or the alternativeRT=xxx - RejectThreshold=xxx, whatever the value (you are welcome to post any details).The reason for this thread is that since I got a new computer, there is NO WAY to get BP=0 to work. It crashes the sim, no matter what.I would like to know if there are some and how many that run BP=0 with new SB processors. If any out there...Thank you in advance.

The only "tweak" I use in FSX.cfg is in the Graphics section - HIGHMEMFIX=1Best regards,Jim

I don't use an external limiter because it messes with FSX's thread scheduler and can cause instability - so I choose option 1 with one caveat: you will more than likely get a CTD with BP=0 in PNW or NRM.jja

My SB is at 5.0 Ghz and I've not had have any problems. I'm currently using RejectThreshold (don't remember the value) but I've also tried UsePools=0.I have the FPS set to unlimited within FSX and I use Antilag as external limiter (haven't tried the old "FPS limiter"). Using 2 x GTX580 in Surround mode.Does it crash even when not overclocked?Vote added.

Jim, are you running internally limited or externally?

Yes. Tested at stock too. While it took a while to crash, it did crash eventually. And please mark that I loaded the sim pretty much - meaning panning around, switching views etc... to stress the system.

Only tweak I use is highmemfix = 1I then use external limiter set to 30 fps.That's all!

and here I'm BP=0, frames set to unlimited. I haven't tried the FPS Limiter_v2 since the upgrade.

Internally.Jim

My vote was for None of the above:Use BP=0 with no external limiter. Use Vsync ON in 3D to control FPS behaviour (up-downs)Video driver=266.77

Paul, now that I've found one, we gotta discuss this a bit :( My FSX is deciseively crashing when I want BP=0. No matter what I set.Can you tell me, did you have any crashes, even the ones you can't explain?What settings are you using in the Nvidia Inspector?What FSX settings in general (make couple of shots of you settings in FSX)?LOD?TML?Using ENB?All these things play a role in BP=0, since it seems like my wish-settings were crashing all the time. Then I run all default, but high settings in FSX and was still crashing.....And also, my tests consist of multiple switching between windowed and full screen, and then going external view in FSXMark11, 0.30 zoom, paning around like crazy, going back to VC, paning, going again ext, then windowed, then back, etc...until it crashes... usually takes less than 2minutes... if it's over, then it's probably stable. Then I jus test it for some while in normal usage - just simple load a flight, aircraft, VC, taxi around, use heavy clouds etc.I found when I had BP=0, I would always had a crash - earlier or later...

My vote was for None of the above:Use BP=0 with no external limiter.

FSX settings?Nvidia Inspector (using it?) settings?

fsx settings are max except:AI comm : between 10 and 60 scen. complexity: maxautogen: maxwater details: low 2xCan't remember them all. Rez is 19x12LOD: 4.5TML: 30Not using ENB (I use macros to adjust my Dell U2410 to ambient light: brightness & gamma)Nvidia Inspector is used: AA 8SQ, AF16x, vSync ON in 3d, the rest is standard.Let me know if you want more details, this is quick answer off the top of my head...Pierre

just one for now: TML is texture max load: 1024 or higher?

oups...Mistook TML for BWYes TML is 1024

'Word Not Allowed' timestamp='1304012437' post='1970393' :( Can you tell me, did you have any crashes, even the ones you can't explain? No - none What FSX settings in general (make couple of shots of you settings in FSX)? I have eleven cfg files, selectable from a batch file, Kos. Each one tweaked dependent upon the type of flight; i.e. commercial tube, vfr, slow 'n' low, lots of GA, or lots of AI, etc.. LOD? Might be 3.5, 4.5, 6.5.TML? all 1024.Using ENB?
