Hello community, 

I know this topic has been discussed almost always and I am sorry to raise it. Actually I was wondering what would be expectations for fps that I could look for my rig. My PC specifications are: 

i9-9900K (overclocked to 5.0) with HT off

32GB RAM DDR4-3600 

MSI RTX 2080 

Kranken x72 water cooling

NVM.m2 512gb used for Windows 

3TB HDD used for p3d at the moment (planning to get SSDs sometimes early next year for P3D only)

I am running the following add-ones:

ORBX Global Base

ORBX Vector

ORBX openCL Europe 

ORBX Buildings HD

ORBX TreesHD

ORBX Germany Sound and North

Aerosoft Mega Airport Frankfurt 

Ultimate Live traffic (set to 40% Airline traffic)

ASCA and AS4

REX Environment Force

I am having the following settings on my P3D:

Display

- Resolution 2K

- Image and Texture quality: FXAA Off, AA 8xMSAA, Anisotropic 16x, High

World

- LOD: High

- Tessellation Factor: Ultra 

- Mesh res: 5m

- Texture Res: 15cm

- true

Scenery Objects:

- High

- Medium 

- Dense

- Dense

- Off 

Lightings:

- All shadows set to High

- Dynamic reflection set to Low

Traffic:

- Road traffic only set to 15%

However, when I use FsLabs 320 on AS EDDF, I barely get around 20fps, is this normal for these settings matching with my system and add-ones? If any hints where I could improve, would be highly appreciated! 

Also, I read somewhere, ORBX Vector could impact the performance, is this true? 

PS: I am using only 2K not 4K. 

Thank you, 

Omar

Aha I wasn't aware of that. Thanks everyone for the info 🙂

Hello all, 

I guess many of you already own the new PMDG 737 NGXu. I was trying to use Tomatoshade with the current PMDG 737 reflection profiles (there are plenty out there), however they seem not to work with the NGXu since I think the new one has some new models perhaps (for instant BW instead of WL). Does somebody created these profiles and willing to share? 

Thank you :)

I have a portable PC built in a LAN-party box running a 9900K clocked to 5.0GHz on all 8 cores (no HT) and an NH-D15.  In a 68 deg F (20 deg C) room, it will keep the 9900K under 80 deg C with P3D workloads, but it will hit 100 deg and start thermal throttling when running a stress test like Prime95.  The overclocked 9900K (with hyperthreading disabled) is right on the ragged edge of the NH-D15's capacity.  I'm going to take it to Florida and Texas next time I visit the grandkids, and I think I'll probably have to dial back my overclock a bit when running it in a warmer room.

I also have an H110 240mm AIO loop on my daily use computer (i7-7700K) and I don't think it's any better than the NH-D15.  If you go with a water loop, either build a custom loop or use a triple-radiator AIO if you want a step up from the Noctua.  You'll need a full-size tower case to do that, though.

Thank for the reply. As I thought as well. I will just go with the NH-D15, however I will try to make sure my case has enough airflow

Nice rig

personally ide go for the gigabyte aorus master board  that’s what I have also, if your planning yo OC 

and swap out the cpu cooler for a water cooler.

i have the h110 Corsair which runs my cpu quite cool

but there are new models  now.

 

 

Well I have seen couple of reviews, I am bit hesitant for gigabytes as I heard about their bios interface. I've used both MSI and Asus in the past and I was pretty satisfied unless something has changed?

Is it really proven that Noctua NH-D15 won't cool down my PC enough? From what I tested and saw, is very decent cooler, the only thing I don't like about it just the size. 

Hello Captains, 

I am planning to get a new rig soon this week, however before making my final purchase, I'd like to get your feedback on it. Here is the list of the specs:

CPU: i9-9900KS

Mainboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming

RAM: Corsair DIMM 32 GB DDR4-3600 Quad-Kit

GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ROG STRIX OC

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB

HDD: WD WD40EZRZ 4 TB

Case: Fractal Design Meshify S2 Black

PSU: be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 11 CM 850W

The final cost would be around 2200 Euros

What do you guys think?

P/S: I am planning to OC my CPU to 5 MHz.
