Is there a reason for your hostile tone ?

 

If you find no worth in this thread, move on to another one. 

 

Probably best at this stage to alert a mod to this thread and let them decide, so that's what I'll do.

 

Alert the mod for what? There's nothing wrong with the thread nor my responses. 

 

Gerry's response claims I missed his point. So I'm curious for him to elaborate. 

 

Maybe he's illustrating the way the different engines handle things (i.e. P3D is dead in the water with a bad GPU as shown here). I don't know.

 

You are complaining about my tone but I was responding to this, which clearly sounds a bit tense.

As I  wrote earlier,. It simply sets out the facts -  whether other's like them or not.

 

I didn't think my posts were out of line in comparison to the tone set by the original poster. People were just saying they didn't understand his point and they get that response? 

I don't get this thread either, so he's not alone.

Old hardware will run older software better then newer software.

That's pretty much a no brainer.

If I ran the first PC edition of Madden football compared to the latest edition on 5+ year old hardware, the results aren't exactly shocking.

 

Newer hardware will run newer software more efficiently.

I would be more interested in that comparison.

I'd be a bit irritated too if people that obviously have no interest or frame of reference for information I was providing jumped into my thread with a bunch of snark.

 

If you aren't running low end hardware, or aren't interested in the actual numbers generated by said hardware, then this thread was not directed at you. There's nothing for you to get.

You dont even state what settings you used in P3D and FSX?

 

Meaningless and NOT factual without that.

 

Also, as stated by LM themselves, the sliders are NOT the same settings as FSX.

Forums are used for objective opinions and people are allowed to disagree.

No snark here.

Maybe you're in the wrong thread?

Maybe you're in the wrong thread?

 

Nope.

 

lol is this a joke thread? 

 

 

If there's some deeper meaning besides the comparison then feel free to elaborate since no one else seems to get it either. 

 

Ok, so P3D doesn't run well on a 7 year old dual core and $45 budget video card.

 

Good to know.

 

I'd totally understand if he'd posted critically of P3D2 in light of his results, but he didn't. Summed up best here:

 

But I do believe the thread has it's merits. I have seen comments where people who have been using FS9 for the duration of FSX's release now thinking that if they buy a DX11 video card will have some success running P3Dv2. This thread should serve as a warning to those people that older, less powerful systems will more than likely encounter performance issues.

 

Better to burst the bubble early on, then see someone spend $300 or more, only to end up disappointed.

 

EDIT: In the end I don't care nearly enough to continue defending this point. If belittling the man's hardware and generally junking up the thread with useless replies is all you have left to do tonight, have at it.

Interesting results but I have to wonder if you are missing some tweaking in P3D for it to be that low?

Which is not what happened on my part. 

 

Me responding to his post "it simply sets out the facts - whether others like them or not" by summarizing a fact of the OP and then asking for elaboration after being told I missed the point is not junking up the thread or belittling his hardware. 

 

I took the thread the same way you did. To just be a posting of results based on his hardware. But I was told I missed the point so I was genuinely curious what I missed. There was no combativeness on my part nor did I mean any if I came across that way.

Gerry set out a set of quantitative observations, where he tried his best to make a fair test based on his specific hardware.

 

Since then it has just descended down to the gutter with frankly some rather rude and pointless comments.

 

Gerry, I offer my apologies for not stepping in sooner. That said, I don't see any point in allowing this to continue further.
