60Hz stuttering in V4

Featured Replies

Hey all!

I seem to have an issue with FPS in Prepar3D V4. 

Issue:
With Vsync on, Triple buffering and unlimited FPS it is hard to maintain a steady 60FPS. It jumps from 115-25 at times and is stuttering uncontrollably. 

My goal:
I want to stay at 30FPS, but when I lock the frames it is not smooth and stuttering badly, enough to give me a headache.

My rig:
i7 7700k 4.8ghz
16GB 3200Mhz
1080ti 11GB

Should I buy a monitor that can support 30Hz? If so what do you recommend? Is there a way I can force my 1080p monitor to 30Hz?

Thanks, Ryan

Go to your Nvidia control panel, Display, change resolution and set the refresh rate to 30

I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

Windows 11 Pro loaded on a 4TB Gen5 Crucial T700 SSD, 4TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD, Ryzen 9 7950x3d, AS Rock X670e Taichi Motherboard, Gigabyte Gaming RTX 4090 OC 24GB, 64GB (2x32GB) Viper Venom  DDR5-6000MT/s, MSI 32" MAG 321UPX QD-OLED 260hz 4K Gaming Monitor.

 

 

Limiter via NV control panel was absolutely amazing. I set it to 35FPS. It not just reduce stuttering, but surprisingly my first core used by P3D have less usage (70-80%) than with VSync on 30Hz display or 35 FPS limit set in P3D where that core was under 100% load.

i7-8700k, RTX2070 Super, custom water cooling, 32GB RAM, 6TB SSD space
Prepar3D v4, X-Plane 11, 40" 4k TV
Rex, Active Sky, RealAir and A2A pilot, GTN, ORBX mostly everywhere

I had the same issue.  With unlimited frames, I would get very noticeable stuttering.  I resolved the issue by setting the frame rate to 59 under Prepar3D's display tab.
