My best graphic settings / performance with P3D...

[jcomm 5,890]

After many experimentation, with different aircraft and weather scenarios / scenery areas (denser / softer), I have came to the conclusin that the best overall performance I can get results from:

 

- In simulator texture 4096, LOD 4.5, AA OFF, AF bilinear

- Nvidia Inspector: AA set at 8xSQ + Transparancy Supersampling at 2xSGS, AF 16x, Vertical Sync - use app settings.

 

I haven't set VSync in P3D and FPS set to UNLIMITED in the simulator.

 

Have a single monitor running at 1366x768, a Geeforce GTX 650 Ti 1GB DDR5, Intel i5-2500K @ 3.130GHz

 

Runs smooooth as silk!

 

I LOVE THIS SIM!!!!!!

What are your scenery and terrain texture settings, autogen etc in P3D?

 

Mine was running fine until I started playing with the settings, now I am getting micro stutters since I bought a 27in monitor

Sorry, I'm on X-Plane10 :-/, do not even have P3D installed...

 

Anyway, I have allways run it at 1366 x 768, a lot less than what you're using with your new monitor. Being a program that derives from MSFS and bases it's display mostly on CPU rat5her than GPU, only a faster CPU will do, I believe...

Honestly - each system is different - his settings or mine make no difference on your system. Start by deleting the P3D.CFG file and let it build a new one. Then test it for a while and pick ONE setting to change - and test some more. If your system is w764 and you are above 4ghz - try 4096 textures. Initially, use NO tweaks. After getting what YOU consider decent results, you can try the BP, etc tweaks but frankly P3D doesn't need them.

All good. Deleted Prepar3d.cfg, started afresh and ended up with just 3 lines of tweaks. I now get a solid 30fps and smooth as butter.
