hello friends,

 

just curios to fps limiter weather it will help my fps. crrentyl my [email protected] running uk200 egcc pmdg 747 and everything full setting witha heck of a load of tweaks and onky hitting 21-23 fps and it makes me sad that poeple with the same or similar setup are getting drasticly better fps. help would be the best.

 

many thanks.

The external limiter will give you about 5 fps on a ATI card, If you have a NV card, set it up IAW Word Not Allowed's Guide. What fps were you getting when you first installed FSX and ran a test with default settings?

hmm about 17-21 fps sir

I agree...use Word Not Allowed's guide. BIG improvements on my system. If you've already done a bunch of tweaks not using his guide then copy your existing fsx.cfg file to a new name so that FSX creates a new default file and start with that. I restarted my FSX after each change so I could see and understand the effect of the tweak. After you get done with the tweaks you can *try* to readd the tweaks you've already created to see if they help. I'd go the route of an external limiter *last*. You may find you don't need it. (I do use one with a geForce card and do get about 5 fps more myself...but I didn't turn it back on until *after* I had done his tweaks.)

I don't use FSX anymore but did enough trial and error tweaking with FSX to know for a fact that an external limiter will indeed give you some increase in FPS but it will also give you some more blurries to deal with I guarantee it. You'll get blurries in places you never got them before and in heavy places like Seattle.. Forget about it. Stick with the internal limiter and lock it at 30.. It hits performance for a reason..

can somebody link me to his guide and thank you very much guys for the support means a lot.

 

many thanks bilal.

I do get blurries in MegasceneryX...no doubt. Haven't noticed them so much in Orbx PNW but maybe that's because I'm not looking? Still, I like my settings.

is there a lik to his guide? thanks

When I used in game limiter after long flight all the ground textures were extremely blurry and took literally minutes to load... With external frame limiter no problem.
