Recently upgraded my system, FSX stuttering? CFG inc.

[HexOmega2319 0]

Hello All,

 

I recently upgraded my PC with an i7 3770k OC'd at 4.6 and 16gb of ddr3 ram at 1866 and a gtx 580. I installed FSX, used Bojote's tool to tweak the CFG, along with including a few others I found from Kostas guide. My FSX runs very smooth with DX10 enabled, but i prefer to look of DX9 with the ENB series bloom. Anyways, my FSX is stuttering and lagging a bit, I've got the internal fps at 30 because I hate the blurries an external gives. I was surprised to see FSX running so poorly with this new setup, perhaps someone could guide me in the right direction. I've attached my CFG incase someone sees something that might be causing the stuttering.

 

CFG:

// This file is optimized as follows: 4 core(s), CPU speed 5, HT 0, GPU 4, PREF 1

1. Turn off HyperThreading in BIOS.

 

2. Rename FSX.CFG to FSX_CFG. Restart FSX. Check performance.

 

3. Install ALL of Word Not Allowed's updates. Check performance.

Under the BufferPools section add: UsePools=0

Under the JobScheduler section, change what you have for AffinintyMask value to 14 instead of 84

 

Get rid of the following

Poolsize=8388608 and the RejectThreshold=131072

TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=2000

TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=1600

FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.18

 

Set your Water to High in FSX

 

Let us know what you see.

Before you get confused or anything.

 

Do not mix Bojote's and my tweaks. They are incompatible and cause problems.

If Bojote's tweaks are not working for ya, and I am not surprised, then delete/rename the FSX.cfg, start with a fresh one and go step by step through my guide.

 

This is from the beginning of my guide:

 

"IMPORTANT: If you feel like going through this guide and set up my tweaks, I strongly suggest you start doing that on the clean FSX, meaning clean fsx.cfg, no mods like ShaderMod 3, no other tweaks, especially not tweaked FSX.cfg through Venetubo tool (not saying Venetubo is bad, only that this is a different approach)."

When I set bufferpools to 0 and removed those options, my FSX started artifacting again. The stuttering is reduced, but not gone. And thats not even with all the settings maxed out.

3. Install ALL of Word Not Allowed's updates. Check performance.

Which updates are you referencing?

 

I will start with a fresh CFG as recommended, follow Word Not Allowed's settings and then get back to you all.

 

Thanks!

Well that was a starting point. I should have directed you to Mr. Word Not Allowed's thread to start with. I think you will work through this like most of us have. Word Not Allowed's tweeks have proved to be the d'facto to date.

As you have noticed, you cannot take a .cfg from one system and just slap it into a new system. Every individual system needs to be manually tweaked to get the best results. I would recommend creating a new fsx.cfg, then start the tweaking process from the start again

[Syd Weedon 11]

When I got my i7-3770 one of the first things I did was to go use Bojote's tweaker page, but I found it did not help my machine at all. It had been great on my old Q6600 but not on the new box. I whacked that fsx.CFG and let FSX build a fresh one. I then began tweaking very conservatively. I'm using:

 

[JOBSCHEDULER]

AffinityMask=254

 

[bufferPools]

Usepools=0

 

[GRAPHICS]

TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096

HIGHMEMFIX=1

 

[Display]

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40

UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=30

 

[Main]

FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15

 

Another thing that I find really helpful is to turn down or off the ground traffic around the airports. I like to see the cars and trucks moving around, but you can turn down this setting a lot and still see plenty of vehicles.

[HexOmega2319 0]

Syd,

 

Do you have HT disabled or enabled? Whats the point of having AffinityMask at 254? Also, are there updates that you physically have to download? Or are they all just CFG tweaks?

 

Thanks!

Hex

[HexOmega2319 0]

Okay so.. I've gone through and completely revamped my CFG following Word Not Allowed's guide and using Syds specifications as a reference. I've got the slider settings along with Nvidia Inspector settings exactly as shown in Word Not Allowed's guide. I'm getting artifacting along with stuttering and a bit of lag. I'll link my new CFG, any input is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the wall of text!

I just did a 3570/GTX660 machine (see E8600 in Mobo Section). I set it up per the PMDG B737 manual and Ryan's tweaks. I get 30 fps all day with no overclocking.

Yeah that's what I was expecting! I dropped $600 on all the new parts and I'm still not seeing much of a difference if any. Oh well, I suppose tweaking is half the fun of it.

What's really frustrating is that when I run it on DX10 preview mode, it's incredibly smooth. I'm at a loss as to what could be causing my DX9 to lag way more..

Syd,

 

Do you have HT disabled or enabled? Whats the point of having AffinityMask at 254? Also, are there updates that you physically have to download? Or are they all just CFG tweaks?

 

Thanks!

On the "3rd Generation" CPU's there are 8 "virtual cores" the 254 keeps FSX off of the first virtual core. I think hyperthreading is not enabled on my machine. I did do one firmware update on the bios.

 

I don't understand why you're getting so much much stuttering and artifact unless there is some sort of timing issue between MOBO, CPU and GPU. Running that fast one would think that your machine should be a smooth as butter. Sometimes particular planes, really gauges, can cause problems regardless of how fast your computer is. Also, some scenery packages can cause difficulties.

I've no Idea, All I have installed is REX, GEX, UTX and the QW757. Even on default it ran like crap. I'm no computer expert so Idk what the culprit is. Like I said, DX10 runs smooth as butter if that helps at all.
