Stutters & Micro Stutters with DX10

[Teddy 1]

Friends

 

- Managed to reduce stutters in straight flight after take off but have micro stutters while banking and on the ground especially when turning...
- Managing 30 fps mostly except at add on airports where it can come down to 21 fps.  But this does not matter provided I can get it to be smooth.

 Please help

[spirit_66 2]

Just a quick look.

 

Why don't you use BufferPools=0? This would give your GPU more work load and the GTX 670 can handle it. I've the same.

 

This parameter should be.

 

[MAIN]

DisablePreload=1                                

My suggestion here:

MultiSamplesPerPixel=4   
MultiSampleQuality=16  

 

This would be enough:

CLOUD_COVERAGE_DENSITY=7
 

You can experiment with this. Must be a multiple of 5 and can be up to 400.

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=80

 

Try this, can be also 6, 12, 30 too

 

TextureMaxLoad=3

 

Miss this entry.

 

[JOBSCHEDULER]

AffinityMask=14                       should be ok for your CPU if you didn't switch off Hyper threading in the BIOS

 

[TERRAIN]

TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=907          
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=1376        

 

Maybe change this?

FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.12                        Did you try different settings?

 

The nVidia Inspector profile looks good.

I have Antialiasing Setting this: 4xS [Combined: 1x2 SS + 2x MS (D3D only)]

 

Well, that's it and maybe it can help you a bit.

Thanks for the inputs.  Will try out everything one by one during the weekend and revert with the results.
