I've read that having two fsx.cfg entries can harm performance in DX10. However, when I try to get rid of one of the entries, my FSX reverts to another display resolution on startup. Resetting it to the correct value creates a second entry in the fsx.cfg file:

 

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.0]

Mode=1920x1080x32

Anisotropic=1

 

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.0.0]

Mode=1920x1080x32

Anisotropic=1

 

How do I keep from getting a second entry popping up?

Hello Brendan

 

You don't need to remove the second entry. 

 

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.0] <- This one is for DX9

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.0.0] <- This one is for DX10

 

FSX uses one or the other, depends if you are using DX9 OR DX10

 

 

As for the reference to frogs post:

 

Every DISPLAY entry you have in your cfg essentially splits up the frames; in this case you added a second one, the "0.0" which was when you selected directx 10 which halved your frame rate.

That is NOT correct, FSX is smart enough not to do what he states.

I have responded to frogs with a pm, Ramon, but I think I will ask Jim to delete it entirely, as it's going to cause a lot of grief. Thanks for jumping in here.  :wink:

thanks guys for setting the matter straight!
