Hello,

 

I'm just wondering if it is normal for some PC's to be getting better frame rates in P3D over FSX. I get over 60-70fps in P3D and only about 30-40 in FSX. I have the settings maxed in FSX and the settings set to about 50% in P3D. My PC specs are as follows:

 

Intel i7 4790K 

Nvidia GTX750TI

8 gigs of ram

 

Additionally, I've tried using the optimizer found here:

Try setting the settings to 50% in fsx as well for an apples to apples comparison..

I could always get "Higher" frame rates in P3D but they weren't smoother frames. FSX locked at 30fps 1/2 refresh rate was always more smoother than P3D at 60fps. Of course, this is my observation.

I was getting frame rates in P3D in the high 60's and mid 70's. Once I loaded REX4 and ActiveSky NEXT and weather was introduced, I was getting the same if not worse frames in P3D than I was in FSX. Clouds were a frame killer for me so I would test again once weather was influencing the clouds.

 

As far as what I read on the P3D forum here, P3D at 50% settings is almost a notch higher than the 50% settings in FSX. Try what Bert suggested as I felt P3D at 50% was the same as FSX at 50%.
