Was wondering if anyone else has experienced a slow decrease in framerates?

 

I start flying and my frames are at the (external framerate limiter) max of 20fms.  After after 15-20 mins of flying it levels out at 7-9 fps.

This occurs no matter the A/C,  scenery or amount of AI traffic.

 

My Specs:

 

Asus P9X79 LE

I7-4829K

8G RAM

 

Nvidia GeForce GTX650

2G ram

You might try reducing your water effects settings to 1.X.

 

Odd to see a GTX650 paired with an SB-E CPU...that's something of a mismatch I think.

 

Regards

First of all, like so many others, you've set your bufferpools wrong, under [bUFFERPOOLS] all you wanna set is PoolSize=0 and nothing else.

 

Thank me later.

Do try with NO frame rate limiter, internally or externally.

 

Thoseof us that can do this reap the benefits in terms of a huge frame rate increase.

 

I can do this with no stutters. If it doesn't help you, then easy enough to revert back.

 

Always test conventional wisdom and decide for yourself.

Thanks all for your replays. I will try the suggested changes when I return from work on

Nov. 6th. If I see I improvements from the changes,

I'll consider the possible Vid card mismatch, thanks again.

Arjen,

 

As you said I can thank you later,  so thanks for the tip, I'm seeing about twice the frame rates that I was before the Buffer Pools change.  

 

Thanks again

Gary R.

For all of you that replayed to my post, thank you. I thought you would like to know that I found that the culprit to my frame rate degradation, it was the external frame rate limiter I was using. I removed it and started again using the limiter within FSX. Now my frames start and remain at 20 fps (locked) thoughout my test flights. So problem solved.

 

Has anyone else had such a problem using an external frame rate limiter?
