Do I deserve this FPS in FSX?

[sidh 29]

Hello Everyone,

I am wondering that despite of having an High end computer my FSX with addons does not perform well..

I get about 10-15 FPS with PMDG 74X ( High end Airport(EGLL) , REX, UT Night Env,AI-80%[even with 10% doesn't make much difference])..Makes me sad I cannot enjoy FSX to the fullest..I have used all the needed tweaks in FSX cfg still i don't see any big change..

However I get 40FPS locked in FS9(Despite every possible addon on it)

 

Here is my computer

 

 

Here is my temprature..

Please Help me out..

Thanks a lot!

 

 

Here is an example of my FPS -FSX default Heathrow,REX,ASE,NGX

I share your pain, I've all but given up. I have a powerful computer and it does not run any better than the days of my piece of garbage Athlon 850 years ago.

That's exactly true.. I had quad core before with GTX 260 and 3GB ram.. I DON'T see a major difference with high end addons..

Don't give up. This is EGLC with LondonVFR, EGLL and EGKK addons flying the 737-600NG at 30fps. REXE textures and AS2012 weather.

 

This is my worst scenario, i usually get 60fps enroute and over 40fps in most airports, externally limited by the nVidia driver.

 

FSX is the best simulator we have right now, it just needs a bit of tweaking and not even than much.

 

 

 

This is all i use

 

[bufferPools]

UsePools=0

 

[Display]

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=200

UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0

 

[GRAPHICS]

AC_SELF_SHADOW=0

AIRCRAFT_SHADOWS=0

ALLOW_SHADER_30=1

HIGHMEMFIX=1

TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096

 

[TERRAIN]

LOD_RADIUS=7.500000 // As you wish - Higher = More quality but takes more time to load scenery

 

[Main]

DisablePreload=1

FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.20

 

Together with the nVidia driver adaptive vsync = Cloud9. Oh, and i am at 2560x1440 resolution.

Hello,

What do you mean by "nvidia driver adaptive vsync = Cloud9" ?

[Nuno Pinto 1,412]

Isn't "Cloud9" an expression that reflects a feeling of accomplishment? I'm not US native, so forgive me if i used the wrong expression

Your i-6 should be overclocked to 4.5 safely and you'll see a big jump in fps.

I think you certainly deserve better fps with your system, sidh. Don't give up. Just in case you have'nt been there: I would highly recommend Word Not Allowed's guide

But apart from tweaking, even with a high end system balancing is still required. You might look into your REX cloud resolution settings and limit them to, say, 2048 or 1024. Other 'fps-consumers' are autogen, scenery detail, high water settings and cloud draw distance. Worth trying is also limiting the visibilty.

@NaMco...apologies for thread drift!

 

Great screenshot and frame rates but I'm curious as to why why no auto-brakes on approach to London City?????

No spoilers either. I'd say he is going for a touch and go ^_^

[sidh 29]

Sadly there hasn't been much change after applying those tweaks.. :mellow:

You might also limit your FPSlimiter to 25 or 30, unlimited does some funny things.

[HiFlyer 9,371]

Well......... what might you be running in the background that could be eating CPU time?

[sidh 29]

There is nothing major running in background..

Here is some nice FPS while approach at innusburgh -_-

Agree It helps to overclock.

 

Your system should be capable of running FSX fine I think just have to tweak it right. Do you use bloom and shadows(Sucks out performance if you're running DX9) and stuff, car traffic?
