WIndows 10 and P3d 2.4

Featured Replies

I've been on windows 10 and P3D for a few months now. Some driver glitches at first but now with the latest nvidia update. SLI is working as it should finally and my frame rate has almost doubled.

That sounds amazing. No issues with SLI at all? Those New drivers 353.62 also have the known issue in w7

SMH im fixing to rage I installed windows 10 fresh and clean. Went and installed p3d 2.4 and all went well. ITs in its own folder in the c drive. I load up in the default f16 and whatever airport it loads up in. It looks like this http://prntscr.com/7yq1im. It loads then freezes and then closes with no error in the event log. Do i need to get p3d 2.5? i tried everything out of option here.

tesselation/driver issue, download latest drivers.

Sorry my specs are 17-4770 3.4ghz Turbo to 3.9ghz

GTX 745TI

8 GB ram

1TB HDD

745ti not that good

No, none at all. and I'm getting 70-100% usage out of both GPUs. B4 latest update I was getting max 50% usage spread over both GPU.

The fun is going to be when Windows 10 decides you need a new video driver and installs it in the middle of the night without you knowing about it. 

I posted this in another thread about Windows 10, which may be helpful to all:

Interesting independent test of graphic performance vis-a-vis 8.1 and Win 10

OK, it's not P3D specifically, but the conclusions should probably be borne in mind as it matches my experiences with W10 and the sim - no significant gains or losses.

 

Summary at this early point in release: No point for Win 10 until DX12, or driver advances - but it does no harm.

That's about what everyone expected. Win 10 is just Win 8.1 with a different interface. Until apps take advantage of DX12, there's not likely to be any performance boosts.

And the 99€-question is...Will P3D Ver 3.0 take the DX12 advantage ?

I would expect changing the OS to an updated version to cause any performance increase in a sim program. Not surprised at all.

And until then there's little compelling reason to risk it and plenty to watch out for.
