P3D Stutters with multi-mon config

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I've recently upgraded my DIY A320 homecockpit with a new PC, but I am really struggling to get a smooth framerate without frequent pauses. The pauses last for a second or two and seem to be related to photoreal scenery loading. 

The suggested Jobscheduler settings in this post for the 13900 seem to improve things, but they still leave me with pauses. In task manager, I observe the following: all CPU cores seem to be working at 85% or higher, and the core temps fluctuate between 85°c and 100°c. Meanwhile, the 4090 rarely goes above 15%.

I am also a bit confused about how and where to set the display options for eg framerate and Vsync: Windows display options, NCP and/or P3D settings? If for example, I set FR limiter to 30 in NCP and turn on ViewGroups in P3D, the FR drops to 10. And finally, how can I minimise the occurrence of horizon deviation across my 3 TV displays during maneuvring? Although, during (gentle) airline manoeuvres this deviation is not very pronounced.

I have this problem too but not stutters just a really low fps. It happened twice in the last week. I installed older nvidia drivers, cleaned the shaders folder, and deleted the Prepar3d.cfg file. Rebooted and started p3d and all is well. Somehow my pc updated the drivers again and I had to revert back to 31.0.15.2849 and all is well again.
