Hi everyone, This is -sigh- yet another performance thread. I'm experiencing very low FPS when I don't think I should be (I shall explain in this post). The Situation: - Full-Screen- Major Thunderstorm Theme- East Midlands, RWY 27- Level-D 767- GEX/UTX/JustFlight's VFR Real Scenery- REX2 I am experiencing just 9FPS at the above situation. These are my graphics settings: Settings: - Autogen: Normal- Scenery Complexity: Dense- Texture Resolution: 7cm- Mesh Resolution: 10M- Water Effects: Mid 2.0X- AA: Unticked (BUT: I have AA forced on in nVidia Inspector)- FPS: Unlimited- Traffic: All A/C sliders below 50%, Road/Boats/Etc no higher than 20%- Lens Flare: ON- Bloom: OFF My PC's Specs: - Intel i7 920 Overclocked to 3.60GHz- nVidia GTX285 1GB Graphics Card- 6GB DDR3 Tri-Channel RAM- GigaByte EX58 UD3R Motherboard- Windows 7 64-Bit Home Premium OS I have made this thread to see why I can only achieve a maximum possible of 9FPS at East Midlands, which is of course nowhere near as dense as somewhere like Heathrow or Gatwick. Interestingly, adjusting the autogen/scenery complexity sliders make NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever. I can set them both to extremely dense and get 9FPS, or both to sparse and get 9FPS. They don't seem to do anything. My FSX FPS are set to "unlimited", and whilst I used to use the external limiter, I don't use it anymore as it actually made my performance slightly worse. The scenery add-ons I'm using aren't particularly demanding; in fact the VFR Real-Scenery has no autogen and just has photographic textures, as usually runs better than the default scenery. At first, I thought my performance issues were caused by me running the ENB bloom mod. However, turning this off only causes an increase of 1FPS, clearly not the main culprit behind my extremely low frames. I think I should mention that I'm running 4 monitors with TH2G (3 on the TH2G box and 1 on the spare GFX Card output). The TH2G does cause major performance issues; 30FPS in windowed mode, but with all 4 monitors running in Full-Screen, we're down to the aforementioned 9FPS. These are my nVidia Inspector settings (or at least the ones that matter to FSX): I have my cfg file built using Bojote's tweaking tool. Also, I'm frequently receiving "Your Computer has run out of memory" error message when running FSX, which result in a CTD. Is this RAM or GPU memory? Thanks for your time. I don't expect an answer to everything, nor do I want a "miracle". However, I'd appreciate a bit of general advice if you can see anything massively wrong.Cheers, Jack EDIT: I accidently posted this in the main FSX forum too. Please delete that thread if at all possible. Cheers.
