HT & Locking FPS P3Dv5 HF1

Featured Replies

Hello:

Just installed v5 HF1.  Was wondering if anyone had any tips about what's best for v5.  HT on/off and FPS lock in sim or NVIDIA.

Thanks.

I have a I9 9900k 32gb ram and a 1080ti, I have HT off and use RTSS as an external limiter. 

And a well balanced sim and OS.

Performance is outstanding.

30fps locked everywhere.

cheers

Thank you everyone.  So as you are "toying" with these settings, what are you (should I) looking for?

HT off gives you better Overclocking headroom if you OC your CPU it will run cooler.

i can confirm what all others here already said. But in case of HT on or off, bear in mind that his depends on if you overclock the CPU or not. Because based on the architecture of a MT-CPU the physical core and the related virtual core share the same lanes when HT is set to on. Therefore, if you overclock the CPU the boost is limited to the first physical core to prevent the CPU from burn out. If HT is OFF, the overclock boosts all physical core simultaniusly to the max setting, which usually is more effective for P3D and how the multi-thread usage is utilized.

i7 7700K @ 4.8, RTX 3080, HT on, locked to 36 FPS in the sim w/ 144 Hz monitor

 

Setting to unlimited or capping via RTSS seems to induce plenty of stutters for me with a few seconds of smoothness; like Gsync is fighting with it.
