I have decided to OC the 560Ti that I have from stock 830Ghz to 950Ghz which appears to be the most stable overclock before pushing it into the extreme ranges. I did a furmark test and things were OK, ran FSX and look fine although I did not notice any major change in framerates, maybe 2 to 4 fmp, not that I was expecting much. My main goal in doing this was to try and eliminate some stutters that I get once in a while, not micro stutters but more like 1 second pauses that are a bit annoying. Not sure if there is even a way to get rid of them completely in dense scenery with airport and aircraft addons. Any thoughts on this?btw, I did the overclock using MSI Afterburner. Max temp in furmark was 77 C.

Doesn't bring a squat. I do it too. :LMAO:

I noticed around 10% fps increase after overclocking my GTX 580 to 900 MHz.

Wow, I'd like to see these 10%! But I don't... best I see is 1fps over 30.

Well from 30 FPS I now got to around 32-33, at 50 FPS I got to around 55, and so so on.

I think my high IQ is keeping the FPS rather down. I don't believe you are using 2x SGSS, now are you?

Thanks for the feedback, Word Not Allowed what is your thought on the stutters ?

Those longer stutters are generally not related to your GPU. Only microstuttering and hitching (which everyone on SB is seeing a little bit) is related to GPU and (slow) RAM.When you're getting such a stutter, take a look at your HDD access LED on your case. Try running a defrag.Run an external monitor, open Taskmanager, and see if there are any spikes in CPU load while this stutter happens.What virusscanner do you have? MSE is known to have very few problems with FSX, I'd get that one.

If you have big ones, start looking for processes cutting in. If you have a small ones, make yourself (I can send it over too) a test situation in which you always test them. And then simply compare what works best.One thing I learned: you can't eliminate stutters without some heavy testing, with one sitaution only.

I use AlacrityPC to turn off almost all unneeded processes so I think that part is ok. Last night I decided to rebuild my fsx.cfg, applied the Bojote tweaks from his website and I also re-installed and adjusted the Bojote Shader 3 mod as I was not happy with the effects at night. Things seemed a bit better and visually it was quite a bit better although not quite sure why. Fixed my night shader problem with reflective stars on the water by changing my LED monitor settings and night is now much darker, looks really nice. So I will test and let you know.....thanks for the tip on testing using one scenario, I usually test departing Vancouver and flying over the mountains as I have FS Genesis mesh and it seems to tax the system nicely.

With your computer, I wouldn't bother with Bojote's tweaks.Why not try a simple clean fsx.cfg? And no mods... I believe all this modding is throwing your FSX completely out of balance.Try simplicity and from the start.For your info, I use:no SM3 modBP=0AM=14FFTF=0.1HIGHMEMFIX=1LOD 6.5TML 4096.locked in FSX 35fps, no external lockerMy clouds are 1024, 4096 is too much for the system. I use 4096 because of NGX.Don't forget to delete the shaders when you are changing shader2/shader3.It's not about taxiing the system, it's about the type of the test.Lemme explain:If you take off frontally, then your movement against the objects, subjectively, is very low. Meaning there is not much movement. Most movement you see close to the runway. And that is hard to judge.Testing stutters when flying is also useless. What turn did you take, did you pan around couple of times before testing, are there more or less polygons in the pic etc... too many factors.Now, my test consists of:a file saved on KSEA, daytime, no clouds, default 737 on the runway, set up with the full throttle, flaps and parking brake, i just have to switch to the wingview which I set up with the ezca I think (can't remember exactly now). The view is over the wing towars the terminal on the left side.After I load it, I just release the parking brake, looking over the wingview.This gives me quite quickly very fast movement against the scenery, and also very noticable stutters if I have any. I found out that if THIS test performs well, I shouldn't have any troubles in turns, when flying whatever.It is one test I load after I update drivers, change settings or whatever. If that's smooth, I can rest assured.I have no real scientific explanation about all this, the only thing I know is that I tweaked it to the death and couldn't find a situation that is AS smooth in my test flight as the one above.I am still searching for more, but even today, I went to the limit and couldn't make it. Was trying to achieve such smoothness with the external lock. No go.

830Ghz to 950Ghz

:o:LMAO:

:o :LMAO:

What's the problem? Ghz or Mhz, I think you know what I mean.

Man that would be great. Imagine a GPU with 950 GHZ. Arrrrrrrrrrg. I'd personally draw some aggressive animal on it! You'd need a nuclear power plant to power it, LOL.

Thanks Word Not Allowed, I will try that test along with your Nvidia Inspector settings 8S + 2xSGSS
