GTX 580 too weak for Usepools set to 0 ?

[trsanchez 2]

So have set my cpu oc to 4,7 ghz now, maybe it will be better. Stay tuned, I gonna try it out now.

You can't completely get rid of flashing except if you lower your CPU speed. So good luck with that. The explanation above is enough to understand what BP=0 is doing.But yet again: the one who found out what BP=0 is doing and why has also said that faster the CPU, less chance you have of successfully using it! What is unclear about it?I would recommend try running CPU radically lower, like no overclocking at all and then see if you have any flashing.The smoothest experience with FSX is going to come only with 60fps locked and achieved.

Hi Word Not Allowed, i think I give it up lower the clocking doesn't bring anything. Flashing cluds and the same issues. Without usepools 0 it is laggy and stuttering. So i have the option stuttering and laggy without flashing textures and clouds or good frames and smoothness but flashing textures and clouds. So after many days of tweaking I am getting angy. Thanks t oall for your help.

As DJJose said, it's finding the right combination and many many weeks and months of tweaking. Not only days.If your FSX is laggy and stuttering without any tweaks, you are doing something wrong, as mine is running very good without any tweaks. I only experiment with other tweaks to possibly push the envelope even further... but I can always go to the stable configuration.

Hi Word Not Allowed, you're right. Would you post your config settings complete or help me for setting up my config and hardware settings for FSX. We can easily do it with teamviewer. Is it ok for you, cause you have most the same hardware as I have. Thank you

Ok, thanks for your config. One question is your fsx drive a WD with 10.000 rpm? Maybe this is a hint, because I only have one drive with 7200 rpm ( windows and fsx on the same harddrive ).

If you read lots of posts, it wonders me that you didn't find a post saying that's a huge downside.In other words, yes, that is a problem. FSX is way more smoother since I have it on the WD. I even considered SSD, but many say it's not that much of an improvement on smoothness, and I tested it myself. I am happy with my WD. Probably gonna get a 600GB variant.

I have an i7 2600K O/C at 4.4Ghz, 2x SATA 6Gb/s SSDs, a GTX470 and UsePools=0 works for me with the external FPS limiter. I don't get any flashing, the key to removing the flashing was to use water=High 2.x.Now I will say that in many instances, while I get 20-30FPS or even more, it stills stutters. I have given up trying to achieve perfect smoothness...not sure it even exists. But hey, if someone with a similar system has achieved it, I'm all ears :)

[Kosta 122]

BP=0 rarely brings smoothness - that is only perceived as so, as when the sim is able to maintain locked frames, then your get smoothness. Or near one. If you are able to achieve 60fps, THEN you'll have perfect smoothness.The problem with BP=0 is that you have to set high 2.x water, which costs performance yet again. So you are trading some performance for some instability and still you get nothing better than when water at Low 2.x. Do you really need cloud shadows in water? I don't perceive them as realistic...

BP=0 on my gtx580 since day one, used 7 or so drivers, and been fine!! Nor problems whatsoever.The 2600k's and 2500k's do stutter more than the 920's for me. The older system was smoother, but this can run all add-ons that I need and still be flybale.
