I have a new I7 4790K system with GTX970, curious on what peoples settings are in FSX.  I think I am trying to max outt oo many items and paying the price at bigger cities.  Chicago I only get around 9-12 FPS, with minor stutters.  I have FSDreamtteam and US Cities Chicago.

 

Just curious where similar systems are placing there display settings at?

I have the same setup and use the display settings for P3D that Rob Ainscough has posted on a number of sites, they seem to work good for my rig! Although this probably won't help you with FSX, but if you ever move over to P3D keep this handy B)

That's a rough combo for any rig - that's Aerosoft's city product right? With tons of extra buildings? Is your cpu overclocked?

 

What about third party AI?

 

Scenery can be maxed , but keep ai cars and ai in General very low, like 10-15%. Water 2xlow, highmemfix, turn off bloom and self shadowing unless using dx10. Disable thermal visualization. Clouds max draw to 60 miles etc

 

You configured with NVIDIA inspector?

Yes its Aerosofts city, I have UT2 as my traffic.  I like the cars and have that setting at 20% I will try to lower that too.

 

I will lower water setting as well.

 

Yes I configured with NVIDIA Inspector, at least I think so.  I used the profile from Simforums.  I assume that works right when it detects FSX running.  What settings are you following on NVIDIA Inspector?

Is your cpu overclocked? You may as well clock that beast to 4.8 if you have a good cooler.

no OC, not sure if I feel comfortable with that.  Right now I played with some of the traffic settings and water settings that did help.  Running smooth, just Chicago takes a toll right now with Aerosoft and FSDreamteam, most other major cities runs very well, cant be happier to finally fly FSX with some eye candy and smoothness.

Water 2xlow

Ryan, in view of the fact that cropduster is running a GTX970, if it is a 3 to 4g card, wouldn't he be better off running water at 2xhigh and using the BP=0 tweak? Also I assume that if using EI, that the 1/2 refresh rate setting is in use. Won't increase FPS, but definitely helps with the stutters.

Regards,

Maybe with BP, but that never worked for me.... Stability issues
