Frame rates fluctuating FSE-SE

Featured Replies

Frame rates fluctuating 30 to 5-6.

I locked the frame on 30 and for  while had no issues it was stable 3-26 depend on the area, however recently for some reason it jumping like crazy from 30 to 5-6 ..... very unstable flight 

 

Any thoughts ?

 

 

Tnx

Could be anything... processes running in the background, CPU overheating, flying into dense scenery..

 

You will have to do some troubleshooting first..

Bert

Hello,

 

Like Bert said above, could really be an endless amount of things. Most commonly, as in my case the only way I was going to get a constant 30fps with heavy addons and scenery was to spend close to £1000 on a tailored FSX rig. And it worked. 

 

My old AMD rig would give me 30fps one day, and the next day give 9 fps. Thats when I had enough.

 

Start by telling us your specs?

 

Regards,

 

Will.

oopss .. u r right

 

Spec:

  • Intel i5 4690K OC via Bios to 4.2GHZ 
  • Memory: 8GB at 1866HAZ 
  • Storage: 2 SSD, one for the OS Win10 64Bit and the other for the Sim
  • Add on: nothing but FTX SoCal & 2 Carenado AC

 

Sliders:

  • Global texture resolution High
  • Filtering Anisotropic
  • Anti Alisasing  checked
  • Terrain: All slider to the right 
  • Water : High 1x
  • NV Inspector setup base on AVISM guidelines  
  • Weather: Visual setting Minimum, Cloud detail Medium (Weather generate  by Engine from Open Cloud)
  • Traffic: no Traffic 

 

I run Primw95 for 4 hours. No issues at all

 

The sluggish performance start after I swap Cases for better ventilation

 

Those spikes in frame rates are really annoying 

 

Tnx in advance

..he...he...he ... and what do you expect that 2 Schlemiels will solve the same problem that one can't  ..lol  

 

Anyway, I did adjust the OC 2 4.0GHZ and thing seems to be a bit better ..... but still I would like to find out why it's happening

 

Cheers

 

 

BTW

 

I forgot to mention my GPU is EVGA GTX 970 run on stock clock

Nota bene: I corrected the title for you to correct the spelling. On first glance it looked like "flatulating"... :LMAO:

Swapping cases also means unplugging and re-plugging connectors.. maybe worth having another look :wink:

..tnx :-) 

Must be something causing it.

 

I just flew in the NGX from Orbx ymml with FTX Australia into Fly Tampa Sydney which is brutal on fps.

Every slider to right EXCEPT road and GA traffic with airliner trafffic at 50%.

4 x MSAA and 4 x SGSS.

 

Less then 4.0 ghost CPU and 650 ti gpu.

 

Locked at 25 fps and pretty much 90% at that fps even in heavy clouds. Into yssy? Yikes. 13-17. But expected.

 

You have a better system then mine so something is up.

...I know something is not right, it is the panning ,especially, that cause sever spikes in frame rates , have no idea how to approach this is problem

I double checked all the plug its all well connected and the computer run great

..honestly, I'll reimburse somebody for his time and expertise ..just need to get this thing up & flying, I see all those Youtube Vid on the big copmlex AC with tons of addons and it's all look so smooth and obvious, and all i need is to fly my little Cessna in SoCal ..what a frustration  :sendu:    

Do you have a Buffer Pool entry in your fsx.cfg File ?

If so, delete it and try again. I also had the spike problem while panning in spot view. Removing the entry solved my problem. My specs are close to yours:  Intel i5 4690K at 3.9

            8 Gb DDR 3 ram

             nVidia GTX 1060 6Gb  Gaming X

Never compare with youtube videos. They're probably doctored. Running the sim at half speed then running the video at twice the speed and then various other video editing stuff. That's how I would've done it if I had the energy and inclination to do videos.

If you've tried all tweaks and lowered setting etc and nothing works, then I'd suggest a complete reinstall. It sucks, but sometimes it's all you can do.

..tnx guys

 

No I do not have Buffer Pool entry in my fsx.cfg ..and I guess last resort will be start from scratch .... you don't want to know how many times I already started in the last year or so (-:

Best
