i took a few months off to fool around with Xplane10 and I missed my FSX + OVER $1000 in payware. XP10 is ok but FSX just feels more alive up in the sky and at airports. Please forgive me FSX, i will never leave you again :lol: Plus in the past few weeks i upgraded my desktop and bought a powerful laptop and both run fsx very smooth at over 30-50fps at max settings to the right(NVIDIA is Awesome!)

 

My Laptop Specs:

 

TOSHIBA Satellite X870 Notebook Win8

Intel Core i7 3630QM(2.40GHz) 3.4GHz with Turbo

17.3" 3D HD Screen

16GB Memory DDR3

1TB HDD

256GB SSD

BD-ROM

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M 3gb GDDR5

me the same. I played around with MS Flight but after a while it got so boring just to fly in Hawaii and lately Alaska. with FSX you have THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!! and (as you said) it feels alive in the sky.

Hello FlashIsisMayia

 

My Laptop Specs are as follows

 

Dell Alienware M17X R3 Win7

Intel Core i7 2820QM(2.3GHz) 3.4GHz with Turbo

17.3" 3D HD Screen

8GBMemory DDR3

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M 1.5GB

 

I run the fsx pmdg ngx.

 

I'm encountering too much stutters while taxing, turning, flying low and a frame rate drop to 5-6. Generally I get around 17 to 18 frames.

I've tried the different tweaks - Bufferpools, AffinityMask etc including tweaks suggested by Bojote & Word Not Allowed.

 

Nothing seems to work. Almost like it doesn't make any difference to an intel processor 2820qm.

 

I can't overclock the system. Alternatively, If I switch off HT, fsx with pmdg ngx runs even worse.

 

I know that fsx stutters are common but I do see a lot of posts to the contrary. On my system they are just too much.

 

Stutteting is extreme when I'm about 50 feet above the ground for a touchdown and it continues uptill the reverse thrust is disengaged.

Low flying, turning and with sparse clouds. It looks like it happens more with buildings and less with aircrafts.

 

Every setting is moderate to less except Scenery Complexity which is very dense.

 

Please could you provide me some direction as to the problem to help me resolve this?

 

Also, it looks like you have a Toshiba Satellite with a 3G processor.

 

How do you run fsx traffic and Scenery Complexity wise? Does the processor make a lot of difference?

 

Is there no alternative but to upgrade the processor?
