February 17, 20188 yr This really surprised me. I understood that with P3D, then nVidia Inspector was not only no longer required, but was detrimental to the sim. After watching a recent YouTube vid, I thought I'd give it another go... Although my monitor won't do 60htz, I'm now using Inspector set at 29.5fps and 1/2 refresh rate. The results are excellent and I'm well pleased. Its definitely considerably smoother that when set to either locked or 30fps in the sim.

February 17, 20188 yr Moderator Phil - NVI is and has been just fine with P3D - all versions. ANY program can be detrimental if not used properly but using NVI judiciously for a setting or two causes no harm to your system. As always, each system is different and some might not get the same results. Before I got the 4K monitor I was using NVI to set 4sgss for my AA. Just set the P3D default profile in NVI and adjust as necessary. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

Vic When i 1st switched from FSX to P3D, I had all sorts of problems trying to carry on using it, so I just ditched it, never to use it again until today;-) Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)

I recall that a 1/2 refresh setting worked in FSX, but not in P3d v4. I can try the setting suggested by the video, but I'm a bit skeptical that it will actually work on my system. I'll give it a final try. MSFS
February 17, 20188 yr 1/2 refresh in nvi does zero. The resason: p3d does not do true full screen. It’s a borderless window. The special nvidia vsync modes have to have a full screen application to function. I think this has been beaten to death over the last few years. Now, unless 4.2 suddenly has a real full screen mode?

February 17, 20188 yr Tested and it still does not work at 1/2 refresh rate + setting p3d v4 to unlimited fps will cause blurries with my 2600K. I seriously doubt that any current CPU will keep up with the demands of p3d v4 at unlimited fps or any other high end flightsim. At least it did not hurt to try. MSFS
February 18, 20188 yr Author Interesting. Certainly no blurries here and neither is a placebo effect. The stuttering i was getting is gone, so something happens.

February 18, 20188 yr Funny things these computers. Granted, I usually only fly GA aircraft but I've never seen a blurry texture in P3Dv4. I normally don't max all the sliders but I just ran a 60-minute test flight out of KLAX with all the scenery sliders full right, frame rate unlimited, 100% traffic, 16x anisio, 8xSSAA, a full install of all ORBX scenery, and 4096 textures and still didn't see a blurry (but the frame rate sucked a bit ).....Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

February 18, 20188 yr VIC, If IN works, why, when I select no AA in P3dv42, do I not see the results of the NI settings: Override, 8xSQ, 8s SGSS. I'm a bit confused. It seems to me that I MUST set P3D to something. What are your exact settings please? Thanks. Jack Asus Z97Pro, 4670@stock, Gskill, 7-8-8, Nvidia 1070, Asus ROG XG32 monitor @ 2560x1440.

What I have just started doing though is adding something to that. I use Gerard's 12 month presets and noticed he has FXAA checked and he says it needs to be on. I have found that turning it on in NI instead of in P3D is much better and I don't get any panel font distortion. This, for me, helps smooth out what jaggies I do have in the sim. Granted not all like super sampling type AA would but it does help and I have zero performance loss. I am on a 1080Ti though. Eric

In combination with autohotkeyU64 and it's script you will have a borderless window ;-) So it will work ;-) André
