i need some help with my fsx.cfg file

August 6, 201213 yr

Hey guys I am a pretty avid simmer and have been very interested in trying to tweak my graphic settings to get the game to run at the best possible performance with quality.

Some information:

CPU- intel i7 3770k oc to 4.45 ghz

12 gig mushkin ddr 3 2000

680 gtx video card

1tb fsx drive 6gbs

intel 520 ssd for windows.

Asus p8z77 deluxe mobo.

Addons:

PMDG 747, 737

Rex Essential

FS global 2010

UTX

GEX

UT2

I know FSX does not make to much use of my video card and its all basically CPU usage. My current issue is i get a lot of stuttering at Orbx YMML Melbourne or any Orbx airports in general, i get slight stuttering when i fly at night.

When i am playing my intel monitor says my cpu is maxed, i use nvidia inspector with the proper settings have done the Ventubo config tool, and messed around with other settings in the cfg file.

below is my .cfg file, tell me what you guys think I should do.

+1 on new cfg file, there's multiple entries especially of your display section. My cfg file is bone stock, have tried many

tweaks not much help for me. For me locking the fps and I increased the refresh rate of monitor up, 60 to 75mhz in the

driver control panel. Try one tweak at a time, SEA and SFO are good places to test I found. YMMV...
