August 22, 201114 yr I have just tried using the nVidia 3d settings manager for fsx and took everything off 'application controlled' and wound everything up to max on both global settings and application settings. The result - instant approx 15 fps improvement from about 17 on takeoff with hills a bit blurry to 30fps (externally limited) plus best scenery quality I've ever had (NZ/Wellington). Very, very happy... Andrew VincentE8600 3.5GHzGTS2504MB Corsair
August 22, 201114 yr You mean like this as discussed in the main PMDG sticky?http://forum.avsim.net/topic/324786-nvidia-configuration-guide-inspector-2xxxx-drivers-version-20-explanations-of-all-settings/ Adrian Burley London, UK
August 22, 201114 yr I tried the ones in the sticky but they didn't work well for me... Rónán O Cadhain.
August 22, 201114 yr Ronan,Try the sticky instructions but let the Antialiasing - Transparency to OFF.This is indeed a frame killer. - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.

And what exactly are you calling "the nVidia 3d settings manager for fsx"??? Thanks Joe Joe Porter
August 22, 201114 yr Author You mean like this as discussed in the main PMDG sticky?http://forum.avsim.n...f-all-settings/ As my kids used to say....I hat you... Yes leave the Anti-Aliasing - Transparency OFF Andrew Vincent
August 22, 201114 yr Ronan,Try the sticky instructions but let the Antialiasing - Transparency to OFF.This is indeed a frame killer. Thanks, FPS up by about 3 in average, but nothing compared to the 15 the OP talked about, Ah well, every little helps, Thanks David, appreciate it. Rónán O Cadhain.
August 22, 201114 yr Ronan,Try the sticky instructions but let the Antialiasing - Transparency to OFF.This is indeed a frame killer.Assume you are refering to Antialiasing transparency multisampling and not Antialiasing transparency 'supersampling' ? Rick Hobbs
August 22, 201114 yr Assume you are refering to Antialiasing transparency multisampling and not Antialiasing transparency 'supersampling' ?He's referring to both. They are both transparency settings for the given sampling. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
August 22, 201114 yr He's referring to both. They are both transparency settings for the given sampling.So are we saying that this will improve performance over Ryans original Nvidia Inspector cofig. guide? Rick Hobbs
August 22, 201114 yr So are we saying that this will improve performance over Ryans original Nvidia Inspector cofig. guide?Yes. Any AA transparency setting besides "OFF" can/will have a noticeable impact on frame rates, especially when dense clouds are visible. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

August 22, 201114 yr You're welcome! I'd play around with it, Rick. I found a decent compromise I'm happy with. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
