August 15, 201610 yr Hi all, Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but, new to x-plane here.. Changing "Multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration" to "Single display performance mode" provided an great frame rate boost, 50% or so. Noted this on a GTX970 and a new 1070 Stefan Ticusan
August 15, 201610 yr I do not think that is your imagination. I changed this setting after reading a post a while back. I have multiple monitors but setting this to single display yielded noticeable improvement. Not 50% for me but probably 5 to 10 fps. I will see if I can dig up a link to the post as it had the why this was the case in it which I do not recall off hand. Neil Garner RW- ASEL X-Plane and P3D
August 16, 201610 yr Where is the setting please, in the nvidia? In Windows, right-click on desktop to get menu. Open nVidia Control Panel. On the left, under 3D Settings, click on Manage 3D settings. Click on Program Settings tab. Choose X-Plane as a single program and make settings there for just X-Plane (not Global Settings tab). i7-4790K o/c @ 4.8 GHz, Corsair H-110 liquid cooler, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, MSI Maximus VII Hero mobo Samsung Pro 512 GB SSD Corsair GFX Hydro GTX-1080 8 GB, (2) 4TB hybrid HDs Win 10 (1607), X-Plane 10.51r2 and X-Plane 11.01b1
August 16, 201610 yr Yup! This has helped me as well! Richard 7950x3d | 32Gb 6000mHz RAM | 8Tb NVme | RTX 4090 | MSFS | P3D | XP12
August 17, 201610 yr Make sure you select Max performance in power settings as well.

August 17, 201610 yr In Windows, right-click on desktop to get menu. In Windows 10, you have to go into the Windows Control Panel and then into the nVidia Control Panel. John John Wingold
August 18, 201610 yr Hey Masaki thanks for your tip. That's a great post for a newbie to XPL! I got a boost of about 6 fps which is welcome since I keep my settings pretty high.
August 18, 201610 yr In Windows 10, you have to go into the Windows Control Panel and then into the nVidia Control Panel. This is wrong... Sorry... The computer I was using at the time I checked did not have an nVidia card. John John Wingold
August 19, 201610 yr Author Hey Masaki thanks for your tip. That's a great post for a newbie to XPL! I got a boost of about 6 fps which is welcome since I keep my settings pretty high. Glad it worked for you! It helped me keep shadows at "Global High", I really like this (very expensive) setting. Stefan Ticusan
August 21, 201610 yr NCP default is all ready at single display for P3D but not max power :wink: Rich Sennett
August 21, 201610 yr Another pair of tricks is: 1) Under V-Sync, choose 1/2 display rate or whatever suits your monitor, and Vertical Sync tear control to "Adaptive"; 2) Make sure you disable Threaded Optimization to "Off" in Nvidia Inspector or Nvidia Control Panel; I usually set X-Plane at HDR, and a AA that my PC supports, and then in Nvidia Inspector also set the mode as "Enhance Application settings", and in SGSS 2xSGSS or 4xSGSS ( usually 2 only ).... With this settings I get a stutter-free ride, good AA and 30 fps almost all of the time :-) Learning to fly gliders since 1980Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)
