Good evening,

 

I just have reinstalled P3D on the newly Win2004 and wondering what is the best way to limit FPS externally for the V4.5HF3. NVI is no longer an option for me

 

Thanks

Have you considered just using the internal limiter?

+1 I have found this the best the more you use outside tweaks the less stable the sim i think, did you watch the Q&A with the Asobo head dev when answering a question on the CPU main core limiting the CPU, that`s how it works you have to something to distribute the work load that`s done by the main core if you turn off your main core then another core will take up the role of main core.

+1. Was using the internal limiter in v4.5. I am not in v5.

Thanks for the responses, folks.

 

The internal limiter inherently takes  7-11 FPS off from overall performance. It has been a stable pattern since P3Dv2.1 and nothing has changed since then.

Also, it's been discussed a zillion of times as far as I can remember

Just limit frames with the facility available in NCP, why making it so complicated?

to each his own.  FOr me NCP refresh rate (not max frame rate) is better than internal limiter.  But that's me

That's because you then need to add a TFTT to you config and you lose 0 FPS then and keep the benefit of the lock. As you say just locking with internal one will lose you FPS, its been like that since FSX. TFTT solves that.

But After seeing how good RTSS is, that's the one to use imo now.

Thank you David.

I presume that RTSS is a part of MSI Afterburner, isn't it?

 

Thanks

But mind you David is a special case with his monitors setup. Unless you use more than one monitor and 2D windows NCP limiter works very well in the current nv drivers.

RTSS is a part of MSI Afterburner. It is a solid alternative to NCP limiter, but a little more complicated, heavier with no improvement in fluidity whatsoever here compared to NCP.

It is also possible to install RTSS as stand-alone.

Your absolutely right if he is using more than one screen, in p3D I use one screen above another and cannot used RTSS. I did not see he said about that Dirk. Good man for pointing that out.

Would love to find the holy grail of locked 30fps for a 1080P monitor. Using Nvidia inspector works like a dream in FSX. For P3D i am currently using the NCP which seems to work pretty well. Not perfect mind you.

the "best" option is a monitor that can operate at 30Hz accurate Vsync signal which the GPU is slave to. 

Yes! That's common sense, universal, yes we care, you're young and easy-going and we like your posts ))
