Moving to V5.0. Would appreciate Nvidia Settings Tips

Featured Replies

Hello,

Since I'm moving into V5.0 this weekend (FSLAbs recent additions made jealous), I would appreciate either a link to the specific topic or recommendation on how to set NVidia parameters for both global and P3D profile.

Would really appreciate your help

There's nothing to change, really, unless you want to use Nvidia's FPS limiter. I used to set "Prefer maximum performance" until someone here posted a link refuting that idea.

Yes, this is a really simple question to answer. Leave the NVidia settings at default. Also, resist the urge to tweak the sim config, it really isn't necessary.

in the old days (V4)  I had many changes.  Now basically stock other than changing my refresh rate under the change resolution section.  The more I read about DX12, the more I think this is the right approach.

If making changes with  Nvidia Control Panel, use the 3D Settings and in the Global Settings tab, default the Global profile first by using Restore/Apply.

Next go to the Program Settings tab and choose the Prepar3D.exe profile, make any change, Apply it, then Restore/Apply. This ensures that the bit list is factory set to your latest driver installed.

Now you are ready to make changes in the Prepar3D.exe profile, don't use the Global Settings tab.

Any settings that are already found in Prepar3D Display settings, only use those and do not use similar sounding settings in NCP Prepar3D.exe profile.

This might seem overkill to some. However, after updating the Nvidia driver on both my machines, they both started the DXGI hang problems. The only change I made to fix that was to perform that procedure above. After that the DXGI hangs were absent.

So before making changes ensure you are starting from a fresh setup.

Use of similar sounding setting in NCP that are already in P3D Display Settings can result in problems because the simulator might perform other tasks when you use the setting given in the simulator.
