FS9 low fps in fullscreen (not in windowmode)

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

yesterday I installed Fs9 on  Windows XP.

 

The Thing is that when I fly in windowed mode I have 50fps more than in the Fullscreen

 

Does anybody have the same Problems?

And how to fix it?

Computer specs?

If I remember correctly, the windowed mode does not use AA, full screen does. That means that the windowed mode would provide better FPS but not with the higher graphics quality of full screen. That coupled with your computer specs (Jim's question) will make all the difference you are noticing.

Do you have AA set in your video card settings? What resolution are you running?

Im running on a Core 2 Duo and i get great results, I can only imagine a Quad would do better but you have to be more specific, FS9 only uses one core so regardless using a quad core will allow FS9 to run on just one of the cores form your quad while other programs run on other cores. What type  quad core is it and whats your Nvidia graphics card details? FS9 is more CPU intensive then GPU but having a better card does seem to help a bit. another thing Are you getting LOW FPS on default or add-on Airports when your in full screen mode? 

 

Im running FS9 on a core 2 Duo E7500 2.9 and an ATI Radeon 6750 1GB Video Ram and 8GB on-board RAM

 

Full screen does tend to use more Resource so its prob Normal but it all depends, What programs are running in the Background, what type of Nvidia card you have Ect ect
