AS2012 Performance

[iainsmith 9]

I wonder if those already using AS2012 could coment on the performance. I do not yet have the recommended Intel i series CPU I'm still running a Core2 Quad Q9650 at 3.0GHz, with 4GB DDR2 RAM and a Geforce GTX550Ti 1.0GB video card.Has anyone with a similar setup got AS2012 and if so does it run ok? Thanks.Iain Smith

What, nobody? Surely an early user of AS2012 can comment on whether they noticed a performance hit? Please.Iain Smith

Well, i didn't notice any hit on performance and im useing the HD 32 bit 3d clouds

Hi Iain,I cant comment on your specs as such but, i do know that for me i see a perf gain over ASE (if u had this?) smoother updates and like Matias running all the resolutions at default hd settings, thats with fsx sliders to the right and using the ngx. I maintain 22-30 fps locked with the limiter and very smooth.

Hi Iain,For me, this is by far the best performing weather engine I've ever used! Way smoother than ASE and other programs I tried over the past 10 or so years. I'm not a programmer but have been on HiFi's beta team since the very beginning, so I can only speak from a testers perspective. The code changes and/or improvements Damian made make this the smoothest weather engine ever. Make sure you get the latest fsuipc update and you'll be in heaven :-) Again, as a beta tester I may be biased, but this is hands down the perfect weather add on. Cheers,Pete

No performance hit at all, actually runs better on my windows xp 32 bit, using the gtx 460 video card, and xp recognizes 3.3 gig of the 4 gig ocz ram, cpu intel core 2 E8400 3.0 ghz.. I still manage to get between 25 and 45 fps.

Don't have the link handy but a user did several test flights and commented that there was a 15% increase in FPS over REX - using 32bit/4096. It's in the main AVsim FSX forum.Vic

For me i have noticed better performance with ASA12. The graphics appear to be alot smoother even under heavy weather

Thank you all for your replies - all very encouraging. I'm off to d/load it now (thankfully I have a fast broadband connection).Iain Smith

I have the q9650 with a 460gtx 1gb card and have no problems at all. keith
