How are my specs?

[GodAtum 69]

My specs are:

 

4770k @ 4.8 GHz

ATI 7970

512 GB SSD

 

In the demo (defualt 747 with broken clouds) I'm running around 27-30 fps. is this good?

HDR on or off?

 

Post a pic of settings, maybe we can help you gain a few more.

Great--apart from the whole ATI thing. But, you should still fare well, assuming all of the other specs (like RAM, storage configuration, cooling, etc.) are on par with the 4770k.

What's wrong with it? Looks fine to me.

Looks like you're using 3 x 24'' displays? In this case, with a total resolution of 5760 x 1200, you could be bottlenecked by GPU more easily.

 

Can you post here a screenshot of your rendering settings?

(go to the rendering settings screen and then press SHIFT + SPACE to take a screenshot).

Actually, I didn't realize this was in the X-Plane forum. Whoops, the dangers of using the recent posts on the homepage. The nvidia preference is only for FSX, although I have grown partial to nvidia after a long stint as an ATI owner.

I'm actually only running 1 24" monitor. HDR is off. I will post screenshots this evening.

Try the following:

 

.) The most important thing to improve your FPS should be to lower the "world detail distance" to "low" or "medium"

 

.) increase "texture resolution" to "extreme"

 

.) check "run full-screen at this resolution"

 

.) framerate-lock to monitor, choose "do not lock"

 

.) increase "shadow detail" to "3d on aircraft"

 

.) increase your screen anti-aliasing to "2x" and your anisotropic-filter lever to "8x" or even "16x"

 

You should have better FPS and better visuals this way. Let us know!

Thanks for the tips. getting a steady 40 fps atm, will try and fly around and see.
