October 8, 20178 yr I bought the P3D V4. My original FSX runs in very high quality but my p3d is not working properly. It lags too much and the fps is so low. I use a retina 4k 21.5 inch iMac. Can you help me?
October 8, 20178 yr P3D as is, is more demanding than FSX. P3Dv4 is even more demanding than v3. Retina display or not, your iMac will struggle, obviously. It's like expecting better fuel economy from tinted windows. You need a proper PC to run it decently. Johnny Botherston
October 8, 20178 yr Maybe wait 48 hours and see what 4.1 brings. If the issue persists there are a number of adjustments you can make, but to get quality advice you'll need to provide a bit more information as to what hardware, settings, addons etc you are using Ian S
October 8, 20178 yr P3Dv4 + 4K + iMac.... Well :-) Even my PC with the 6700K and a 1080ti struggles here.
October 8, 20178 yr Unfortunately it's your iMac that's the problem...just not powerful enough as P3D pushes much more workload over to the GPU than FSX.

I am speechless, but I also wait for next year when the next Intel chip is expected to deliver to upgrade my PC and the Graphic card before I touch P3Dv4 ;-) To the OP, you don't have to get P3Dv4. If FSX is working great for you why making the move now? Either invest in better hardware first and then move, or stay put forever. Heck, I still have my FSX-SE to run my PMDG MD-11, if you don't overload your sim with add-ons you will be just fine. Vu Pham i7-13700K 5.2 GHz OC, 64 GB RAM, RTX5090, SSD for Sim, SSD for system.
