May 10, 201115 yr I just flew from KGRR to KMKG with the open clouds weather addon, it gave me the exact weather we are having, broken clouds, thunderstorms in the distance, and some rain and wind, but once I view towards the sky FSX just becomes a stuttering mess. My specs are good, and so far weather is the only thing that has slowed FSX down so far. Anyone have any possible solutions, I'd certainly appreciate any help. Thanks.

May 10, 201115 yr Author Well, I figured it out, it was my AA setting in nvidia inspector, I was using the SUPERVCAA 64x12 thing. I just changed it to 8xQ, and I'm all set. Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
May 10, 201115 yr Try 8xS + 2x SGSS (Transparency). I would like to know if you run it fluently, even in high weather.EDIT: SGSS = Sparse Grid Super Sampling
May 10, 201115 yr Try 8xS + 2x SGSS (Transparency). I would like to know if you run it fluently, even in high weather.8xS and 2XSGSS works very well for me on a 480 moderately overclocked to 800/2000.

May 10, 201115 yr Author I'll give it a try and let you know, thanks. Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
May 10, 201115 yr Try 8xS + 2x SGSS (Transparency). I would like to know if you run it fluently, even in high weather.EDIT: SGSS = Sparse Grid Super SamplingIs this setting better in terms of IQ as my currently used SUPERVCAA 64x_4v12?

May 10, 201115 yr Is this setting better in terms of IQ as my currently used SUPERVCAA 64x_4v12?Better in terms of IQ, no, but it's close, and it is far less taxing on performance, especially in areas of heavy high-def clouds as the OP discovered. 8xS with 2X sparse grid supersampling (transparency AA) is the minimum AA level that for me kills off shimmering of oblique lines such as beveled edges in VCs, runway edges, taxi lines etc. Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
May 11, 201115 yr Better in terms of IQ, no, but it's close, and it is far less taxing on performance, especially in areas of heavy high-def clouds as the OP discovered. 8xS with 2X sparse grid supersampling (transparency AA) is the minimum AA level that for me kills off shimmering of oblique lines such as beveled edges in VCs, runway edges, taxi lines etc.Same here. I tested so many modes, and in different situations, I find it best compromise performance vs quality. Without SGSS, I was recently landing at LFML, and it was a damn shimmering mess of taxi lines...
May 12, 201115 yr Author Yeah that setting works great, thanks guys. Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
May 12, 201115 yr So, what setting should I be using? I'm currently running 8xSQ. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
May 12, 201115 yr Antialiasing Setting - 8xSAntialiasing Transparency Supersampling - 2x Sparse Grid Supersampling
May 12, 201115 yr Thanks! And this is about the same IQ as 8xSQ but better performance? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
May 12, 201115 yr Heh,Yes My PC does! But in a way that I think the original question wasnt aimed at I suspect When the temps get up here in summer and I'm running FSX the fans in my box go crazy - only because its probably 40+ deg C (fry eggs on car time) outside.Yes I do need a new PC with a better cooling system.. I'm never going AMD processor again for FSX - too damn noisy.Cheers,David David Stewart, Dianella, Western Australia.

May 12, 201115 yr Thanks! And this is about the same IQ as 8xSQ but better performance?I would argue that it's better IQ than 8xSQ, and with better performance.

May 12, 201115 yr It is better picture quality and it's lower performing than 8xSQ.As PT once said: there is no free lunch in FSX.There are only compromises. And I think this one is a good one.
