October 9, 201510 yr Hello I recently upgraded the CPU and my graphics card in my non flight rig (I5 4460 3.2ghz and GTx750ti 2GB) and I bought FSX SE when it was on sale for £5, Am really happy with the performance using the fixer and have not added any tweaks to the CFG file at all, Reading through the set up guide it mentions setting bufferpools/ Usepools, Would this help with my set up? as not really sure what setting i should use or should i just leave well alone? kind regards Darran My youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/c/Dkentflyer
October 9, 201510 yr Commercial Member I'm current;y using usepools=0, but TBH I can't see any difference without any bufferpools entry (default). Not smoother, not better fps, but I kept usepools=0 in cfg just for testing. Current system: ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4, Intel 12900k, 32GB RAM @ 3600mhz, Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity, M2 SSD, Oculus Quest 2.
October 11, 201510 yr Also saw no difference with usepools=0, therefore removed all reference to BP in the cfg. Perfectly stable and good performance without that tweak.

October 12, 201510 yr With FSX-SE, it will automatically adjust the buffer pools setting to your computer, so you don't even need it anymore. I think the wording was they increased the index and vertex buffers for FSX-SE, so having it tweaked in the config (old FSX) is the same as not having it in the config at all (FSX-SE). • Graphics: Improved vertex and index buffer handling defaults and a few other things to give up to 10% framerate improvement (as long as vsync is not enabled/forced). Dovetail even recommends leaving the tweak out of the config with that fix they did. Jeff Thomson
October 12, 201510 yr Also saw no difference with usepools=0, therefore removed all reference to BP in the cfg. Perfectly stable and good performance without that tweak. Same here, removed all references after numerous similar tests. In W8 I feel I do not need usepools, guess W8 handles that well enough.

October 12, 201510 yr Commercial Member I guess that tweak has some effect in DX9 mode since it doesn't use GPU power that much. Current system: ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4, Intel 12900k, 32GB RAM @ 3600mhz, Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity, M2 SSD, Oculus Quest 2.
October 12, 201510 yr I use fsx steam i have only affinity mask in my cfg, and it runs great. :smile:
October 28, 201510 yr Author i don't think I have an affinity mask setting in my CFG file, do i need to add it? if so what do you think it should be? ( I5 4460 processor) My youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/c/Dkentflyer
