Are you sure about that? I thought it was more like 476%....

Here's anothe rpiece of advice...stop watching the FPS counter.  It'll drive you mad.  As Jan mentioned here and at another post, the FPS counter isn't exactly a reliable gauge to how your sim performs.  Use your peepers to watch the sim as you fly and see if the smoothness is there.

 

If HT had been on, leave it on and ditch the AM temporarily.  Fly a route and see if smoothness and stability is there.

 

One other thing to consider, to which I didn't see in this thread is about the hard drive performance.  What type of drives are being used?  You can definitely see better performance off a fast SSD, versus a mechanical drive.  Also, what other applications are running on your system while you fly?  Killing background programs before flight helps too.  If you have too much running in the background, your tweaks really won't matter much as your system is trying to play catch up.

 

Sometimes it's the little things that make the difference.

Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit

But I changed this one line in the cfg and the sim is 478% smoother now! Sure, the FPS is still exactly 27.1 FPS, but it's much smoother! I can tell by the pixels!
