Poor Performance P3D 2.5

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone;

 

I have finally migrated to P3D now that PMDG has joined in, however I am having extremely poor performance in P3D using the NGX and 777 with addon airports (FSDT, LatinVFR, FlyTampa, FlightBeam) I am also running REX texture direct 4 with soft clouds and ASN.

 

When I mean poor I mean that when Flying in a 3rd party airport using a 3rd party airplane with REX and ASN I'm getting around 8,10,12 FPS. I have tried playing with the P3D settings, HDR, Volumetric Fog, Shadows etc... with no luck.

 

My System specs are the following:

Mac Pro (Cylinder)- Windows 8.1 Pro (x64) running natively using BootCamp.
  • 3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
  • 16GB 1866MHz DDR3 ECC - 4X4GB
  • 1TB PCIe-based Flash Storage
  • Dual AMD FirePro D700-6GB VRAM (Crossfire X is enabled on the ATI FIREPRO CC, I have also tried unchecking it with no performance change)

Prepar3D Settings:

Hi,

 

had the same problems and found a solution.

 

Set the target framerate on unlimited and P3D is running smooth.

Increased my FPS from 10 to 35, it's a known bug.

It's simple your settings are quit a bit off for your system and hardware.... what's your native monitor resolution?

Try setting your 'Terrain level of radius' to a lower setting, like medium. Note that what was Max in FSX is comparable to Medium in P3D.

Also try setting Tesselation on for better results.

Not so good, not so bad.  The performance on my P3D v2.5 is enough to get by. I am using REX4 Texture HD also.

 

 

My rig: Win7 64 bits, i5 3570K OC 4.2 Ghz, cooler Zalman CNPS10X Performa, mobo GA-Z77M-D3H, Nvidia Zotac GTX780 AMP, 8 GB DDR3-1333 Kingston, HD Western Digital SATA3 7200 RPM, Monitor Samsung FULL HD 27" TA550, PSU Corsair AX850W and nobreak TS SHARA 1200va.

+1

 

Also try shadow quality low and both special effects to medium, cloud shadows no more than 10k, objects 3k and 0 terrain cast. I use medium tessellation. 3820k @4.6 GTX 760/ 25-30 frames in the 777 (with ASN and FSDT). I also agree with frames to unlimited.

This should be marked as the solution.
