I just switched to DX10, followed all of the instructions, got the fixer and so on. The VAS in the NGX at the default KLGA is at 3.4 starting and it eventually reaches 3.9 15 minutes of being on the ground. That's surely not what I was expecting. Do guys have any ideas what is going on here?

I am super disappointed with the results. :/

I assume the NGX is some sort of PMDG thing. I dont fly tube liners so....

 

From what I gather, an overloaded sim is an overloaded sim no matter which directx your using. What other add ons are you running? High rez clouds? Hi rez ground textures?

You need to post graphical settings and CFGs. For instance, whats your:

 

- LOD radius?

- Texture resolution on clouds, airports etc? 1024, 2048, 4096?

- Autogen settings?

 

 

- 

Rex Clouds at 1024, the rest you can see below. Pretty conservative settings imo.

What you need is another member with the same processor and running similar add on's to to give you advice on what you can expect in peformance, you may consider trying usepools=1 .

In your cfg file you appear not to have a listing for your gpu under dx10, so you could look into that.

Its should be similar to what you have now but with a additional digit at the end.

Your dx10 fixer settings may be high try AA at 4x

Doesn't make a blind bit of difference to the VAS usage.  Same VAS between a 980x and a 4770K, i know because i have both.

 

I also run DX10 and the NGX, i'll post my cfg, i do get slightly better VAS, but i also only run a LOD of 3.5.  Feel free to take what you would like from it,  Experience says that the big players VAS wise are LOD, Traffic and add on scenery, ORBX ones being very bad, i cannot run the ORBX England with any aircraft for more than 2 hours without the sim shutting down due to VAS usage.

Probably wont do anything, but you have two instances of the same SimObjects:

 

SimObjectPaths.6=SimObjects\AI Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.6=SimObjects\UT2 Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.7=SimObjects\UT2 Aircraft

To the OP,

 

What are your UT2 settings? I found I had to dial back Airline traffic to around 60% and have no VFR traffic to stop the OOM dings when arriving at my destination airport.

 

Also, New York is a heavy area autogen wise, I would dial back to at least 'normal'. You still get a good amount of autogen at this setting with DX10.
