What Add-ons do you plan on flying?  Even with that HW you simply can't max everything in an add-on airline with AI, Add-on Airports, heavy clouds etc...  The settings @LRBS posted as he mentioned have to be compromised with a PMDG, FSL, QW etc.   

Also, what does Tesselation actually do?  LOL  I can't see a visual difference so have it set to off.  

Seems the Tesselation question has not been answered really.  I, too, want to know what Tesselation does...and what would be the proper setting for it in P3dv5.

Higher values of Tessellation will show more detailed terrain by filling in with more facets. For example, if you pause a flight with a good nearby view of the mountains and take screenshots with max and min tessellation you can compare them and you should see more jaggedness to mountains.

Hi SteveW what AM would you use with a i7 11700K thanks

Thanks Steve, any insight into performance impact?  Is that hitting GPU or CPU?  So it's not changing the Mesh resolution just adding more fidelity?  If there is no performance hit great, if it's even a couple of FPS it's not worth it to me 😉  

I'll have to test on my own machine and see what happens.

Thank you very much Steve that has bought my temps down

GPU mainly, you might see up to 10% more GPU from Low to Ultra, depends on other terrain factors. No major impact on framerate on recent GPUs. Yes just adds fidelity.

If you want to go a little cooler you can, for example, do:

HT Enabled 8 core 16 LP
07,06,05,04,03,02,01,00=core number
11,11,11,11,11,01,01,01=AffinityMask = 65493
00,11,11,11,11,01,01,01=P3DCoreAffinityMask = 16341
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01=MainThreadScheduler = 0
00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00=RenderThreadScheduler = 1
00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00=FrameWorkerThreadScheduler = 2

[JobScheduler]
AffinityMask=65493
P3DCoreAffinityMask=16341
MainThreadScheduler=0
RenderThreadScheduler=1
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=2

which omits core 7 (2 LPs) from the scenery gathering.

Per your documentation that comes with P3D:

https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv5/prepar3d/options/graphics/world.html

https://developer.nvidia.com/content/dynamic-hardware-tessellation-basics

Tessellation breaks up basic shape geometry into smaller geometric elements (performed on a mesh typically).

Cheers, Rob.

What a difference!  Tesselation now on ULTRA

WOW thanks Steve my cpu is at 46-48 and gpu 45-46 with all sliders maxed ht off perfect

For cooler running HT Off:

Hi Steve now I have another problem I changed my AM to your recommendations and it keeps reverting back to this [JobScheduler]
AffinityMask=213
P3DCoreAffinityMask=213
MainThreadScheduler=0
RenderThreadScheduler=1
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=2

Is your CPU 8 core and is it HT Off or on?

CPU 8 core 16 thread HT Off

[airservices 133]

This is what shows up  [JobScheduler]
AffinityMask=213
P3DCoreAffinityMask=213
MainThreadScheduler=0
RenderThreadScheduler=1
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=2

after I enter this[JobScheduler]
AffinityMask=65493
P3DCoreAffinityMask=16341
MainThreadScheduler=0
RenderThreadScheduler=1
FrameWorkerThreadScheduler=2
