Hi all, I came across a Post by 'Tab', and the credit for the following goes entirely to him. Just thought I would post the following to perhaps help others. Firstly, you might like to do a search in the FSX Forum for a title ' Nvidia Configuration Guide (inspector + 2xx.xx drivers) Version 2.0+ explanation of all settings. This is a long and very informative article all about Nvidia Inspector, first Posted on 22/1/11.Firstly, many of you will be using Nvidia Inspector, coupled with an external frame limiter. If you download N.In. version 1.9.5.9 plus Nvidia Driver 290.53 release date 21/12/11, you no longer need to use an external frame limiter. In Nvidia Inspector, you will see a main heading 'Common', and a couple of lines down is 'Frame Rate Limiter' Tab suggests setting this to 30 fps. I am using a Triple HeadtoGo Matrox unit, and was once told to set my frame limiter to 90 fps because of this.I have yet to test the Frame Limiter set to more than 30 fps (unlimited in FSX itself), but got a very smooth flight at 30fps, better picture quality, and shimmers much reduced. I should mention that the Nvidia Drivers are still Beta, but worked fine for me.Hope this might help someone?

I tested this method, but found FSX to be very stuttery using the external limiter. Reverted back to the FSX limiter and all was well. Not sure why this was but this is how my system reacted.

Are you describing the results of your methodology prior to the 1.9.5.9/290.53 versions, or after you installed them?

My results were indeed with NvidiaInspector 1.9.5.9 and Nvidia 290.53 drivers.

Works well for me on older drivers as well.

It's not in the common section in mine.Although I have the update and the driver version.

Yup, internal limiter working great after manually entering the driver version in NVInspector. Using the older 275.33 drivers as they continue to perform well and produce the best visuals. For me.

Works here with TripleHead2Go, Inspecter set to 30fps, with unlimited in the sim. She holds around the 30 frames flying in and around the OrbX PNW Diamond Point and Jefferson, and Harvey. Didn't try Renton yet.

I am using the nvidia Inspector frame rate limiter set to 30 fps and FSX is to unlimited and using the latest official drivers. Still sometimes the frame rate spikes above 30 fps. I understand the if you set FSX to unlimited then the FFTF is disabled but if you limit the frame rate using the FSX limiter then it's 0.33 by default. The problem is that FFTF causes slower performance below the FSX frame rate limit when I limit my frame rate through FSX as a percentage of the CPU cycles are being used to load the fibers. It just looks smoother in motion when using the FSX frame rate limiter instead of an external one as it never spikes above 30 doing it this way if I set it to 30 in FSX even if I get slower performance at the default FFTF setting. Is it better to add the FFTF and set the FFTF low enough in the FSX.cfg so that I can match the frame rate that I was getting using an external frame rate limter set to 30 when FSX was set to unlimited?

Hi Daveo, you are quite right, I probably should not have posted this one here, but as it is so 'FSX' related, I think many would have missed it if posted under Hardware/Drivers etc. Sorry to Admin. if they want to move it.

For some reason the new limiter doesn't play well with my system, I went back to the external d3d9 antilag limiter. It's nice and convenient to have it in nVidia Inspector though so I hope future releases wil solve the problem.

Thanks Dave! :good:Guys I'm moving this thread for this time but pleeeeeeease don't post here anymore hardware/drivers stuff.Thanks.
