I personally only ever got GSYNC to work in FSX momentarily back in 2015. I had to turn off all auto gen to do it. The auto gen bug in FSX made me go away from it and ultimately settle on ULMB. However it was never as smooth as I wanted (or the 30Hz smoothness I've seen from others who use it), hence why this topic 🙂 So getting back on subject, it looks like I have to go the TV route with a 1.4 HDMI cable? This new setup I'm building is suppose to be semi mobile. Is there any other options that don't involve 40+ inches of real estate?

Hello, I'm starting a new topic on this because the old one I found was from 2016. Looking for 30Hz capable displays with 4K. I want to invest in a new monitor and I definitely want to try this option finally. Also what would be needed to make it work at 30Hz? Like I want to simply be able to select it and go. I know the connections are specific (HDMI vs. Display Port) and etc etc. CPU-i9-9900k GPU-RTX 2080 Thanks

DXGI Prepar3d V4 Help!!
garymcginnis replied to Duncan Odgers's topic in Crash To Desktop (CTD) Forum
Just an update from me. The PNY1080 worked well enough. I had it butter smooth at one point. However the sim starting CTDing (non-DXGI errors) and at first I thought I fixed it with an unwanted chaseplane beta update but then it did it again. This time the same ntdll.dll error that drove me out of FSX:SE. It literally crashed on short final for no reason. So I literally deleted P3D on the spot, then deleted the drives/windows, then ripped the computers (2 computers in this work space) apart and listed everything on Ebay. Then I removed the desk and chair and sold them and bought a couch (these computers where in my living room) the next morning to replace the bear spot. I'm a so tired of trouble shooing this piece of sh*t game and the headaches from this build. I'm going to get a pre-built i9-9900k/2080 rig in a little while and reinstall only P3D (hopefully v4.4 is out by then) and PMDG/Actlve Sky/Rex World Airports HD. Maybe ORBX if it doesn't look as great. The FSLabs A319/320 has caused nothing but problems, I think, over 2 platforms (FSX:SE and P3D) and the constant troubleshooting has made this hobby absolutely painful. I literally rag quit an i7-8700k build and I pray the next time is better. So the 1080 kinda fixed the DXGI error but the game still disappoints. -

Settled on a PNY 1080. Just to test. We will see. This hobby is such a money pit. -

I have the chance to try a 1080 founders card or an ASUS 1080ti. Based on what others have said, I'm leaning towards the 1080. Thoughts? -

Like I meant build version. I was just curious since I have all w10 updates disabled via a few hacks. -

Hate to say but its probably not. I had crashes before I installed SODE. -

I support them as well. Saying there is an error with the program in no way means I (we) don't. It's just bull about the silence from them. -

Jim, Instead of defending P3D, why don't you help us help them. You said it yourself, they are very receptive. There is no need to put up such a boundary to users having this issue; especially if they are as receptive as you say. You are a moderator for the avsim forum.... not a spokesperson for Lockheed Martin. Sticky this topic. Pin it. Whatever but don't keep saying we are wrong. You aren't helping with posts like that. Just be thankful you don't have this issue. -

This is an error. Its definitely NOT on my end. I have everything completely new (so going back to a new W10 install won't do a thing). The computer only runs P3D. Jim, just because you don't have this issue doesn't mean it's not a problem. I personally had maybe one CTD with FSX and I caused it but that doesn't mean I went around saying people having CTDs with FSX were wrong. CJ, try 375.70. That was the BEST driver for FSX and I've been using it (along with the downclock) for about 3 weeks now with some success.... granted I've only flown 4 flights. I'm going to undue the downclock since that is bulls**t anyway that we have to downclock a perfectly good card. I'm also going to try Riva. Won't be able to do anything with the computer until at least 10/17 but I'll keep tabs on here. -

I'm actually pretty much over this hobby at this point. Yeah I had successful flights but it wasn't as smooth as before and just the hassle to get to that point. In addition the FSL flies like word not allowed compared to the real thing. Sitting out this long from FS really made it sink in. Just thinking it's not worth it. -
