Not sure what I can do to optimize my sim. But this is what I currently have. I run the sim in 4K single screen with a GTX 1080 FTW (8GB). So I'm not sure if I should turn on or off some of the options I have in here.

Wouldn't touch it at all, outside of perhaps "Prefer maxiumum performance". Most of it has zero effect. I tried forcing AF but you end up with a weird water shimmering when done through the control panel I've found.

I have a 1070 but I will follow this guide.

Thanks @captain420

Er... I don't think this is a guide... The OP is asking for guidance...! 

Imho, as Sethos 1988 said, you shouldn't touch a single option in those screens. I myself never ever noticed a difference between various settings and always leave things at default. No need to complicate things without reason. 😉 

Without using NI and leaving NCP default my P3D was horrible. Now is very good (I believe texture quality makes all difference).

Out of curiosity, which graphic settings have you applied in NI and Prepar3D?

Hi @eXpress48. As I said, I stopped using NI.

Here are my settings:

Some examples:

If you see any setting that can be improved please tell me 😎

i got 4k monitor with 1070, night with qw787 or fsl320 at Flightbeam KSFO with dynamic lighting just basically killed the 1070, qw787 sitting at runway with lights is about 18-23 fps just bad, but pmdg 777 is much better. only thing i touch in Nvidia control panel is prefer maximum performance

@kevinxu8 That's why I do not want a 4K screen 😉

Friendly tip: the next time edit out all those screenshots: no need to repeat them all and make us scroll down for a minute. 😉 Even easier: do not click on + Quote but select an appropriate part of a post you want to reply to and you will see a small popup coming up saying 'Quote selection'. Click on that and your post could have begun with for instance this:

That would have made it clear already what you are replying to. 😉

Again, only trying to help to make this forum easier to use and enjoy (and so this reply wasn't a reply to just you but to everyone who tends to simply quote entire posts).

One thing: in NCP, maybe it's better to use "Clamp" in Texture Filtering - Negative LOD bias.

@otreblA Sorry, I meant NCP. Thanks for sharing your settings.

Is anyone using these setting that was posted above for P3D V4.4 ? I don't remember many using the NCP lately .

Yes I have set all NCP-settings according  otrebIAs suggestions. But I also didn't change any values within P3D at this moment, so I can confirm better results.

At the moment I'm using P3D4.5 with hotfix also installed. But I think there's no big difference in this respect when using still P3D4.4 .

you change those settings all you want, but you are trying to run a 20 year old engine in 4K... same hooker different dress... it never ceases to amaze me how people think v4 is this magic bullet just because a miltary contracter has bought the rights to recode it and made it 64 bit.   its still fsx under a ton of make up.  it really is that simple.  

Sure LM have done as best they can with an awful 20 year old engine to flog it to the saudis, but it's still that god awful fsx engine. 

We can only hope the new 2020 sim will be better
