Soar 21 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hello I own a AMD Phenom II X6 Black Unlocked 1090T 3.2ghz W/T turbo 4.2ghz 9MB Cache CPU . I know FSX was designed Around intel I am fully aware of that but not every one can afford an i5 or i7. I would like to know if is there any tweaks for My Type of cpu that would give me an significant FPS increase, I usually pull less then 20. I have tried the Jesus Tweak it dose not work, I have used HawgDawg4Life's (Of MSflights.net) Supertweaker, I have used FSPS FSX Booster 2013 that didn't even work, I even use Razor Cortex. I plan to get a i5 3570k CPU PC in about 4 months time. please dont reply with ''Its AMD it sucks''or ''You should of gotten intel'' I really don't want to read that.

il88pp Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Maybe invest in better cooling. AMD's run hot. I just got a new case. Should have done that years ago, the old one had bad cooling. Cpu temp dropped from 75 to 61, videocard from 85 to 65. FPS soared from 11 at Heathrow to now 22, (Adding: that's 22 in outside view, 27 in vc, while parked. and 30 in vc as soon as I turn after pushback. All in Full screen mode.) and 30 easy when flying over London. That's all after also increasing traffic from 40% to 70%. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?292852-Advise-please-case-Fractal-Design-Define-R5-Black [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If that is after running fsx for an hour at your normal settings in full screen and a high detail airport etc it's ok. If it is when idling and just browsing the web it doesn't say much. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soar 21 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 no i was running fsx and live streaming it for 1hr and 30 min and it remain at 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sford Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 You have nothing else running (using up CPU cycles and/or memory)? No browsers, real time virus stuff, etc. Your task manager should show minimum processes (and no applications) running. When FSX isn't running, the CPU usage under the performance tab should be really really low. Memory usage should be low. (4/16/19) ASUS ROG Strix GL702VS-AH73 17.3" Laptop.

il88pp Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Is that cpu actually running at that speed? If it is that cpu is not as good as I thought. Because I have 10 progs in my system tray, including AV. Also IE open with a couple of pages and logged into flightsim.com, several windows explorer windows, and Malwarebytes was open too (not scanning). I know it would run a slight bit better with all shut down, but no need. I would never shut down the AV for this. Still a steady 30 fps almost all the time (locked at 30). (I have overclocked to 4.1 btw) I would check if the cpu is actually doing that speed. And if it is actually running 4.2 most of the time, or if it is running throttled back at 3.2 most of the time. I would also create a fresh fsx.cfg file. You have some personalisations, (colur of infotext or something) and trusted sections, which you may have to put back afterwards. But is also is a "Tweaked" cfg and that can cause trouble. All changed/added to my .cfg was a few simple things: [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 To set fsx to run on core 1-2-3 , not 0 [JOBSCHEDULER] ---new line top AffinityMask=14 ---new line added [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soar 21 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 no mine isn't over clocked its at 3.2 because i dont know how to do that safely with out blowing out the cpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 a fresh fsx.cfg is one that is not tweaked. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 and it should be going to 4.2 without any intervention. 3.2 ghz-42 turbo means runs at 3.2, but automatically goes to 4.2 when needed (for fsx for example). But throttles back again to 3.2 if it gets too hot. Use a program that monitors speed and gives you the min/max values when running. Like HW monitor. start it, start fsx, run fsx full on for a while. (sit at busy airport, lots of traffic. full screen don't have to be flying.) alt-enter. reset hwmonitor. run fsx for another half hour, and check the min/max values for processor speed. While doing all that, run RealTemp as well (other program), which also gives min and max temperatures. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I don't know how to be any more clear. Use a fresh fsx.cfg, not a tweaked one. Just use the sliders in fsx. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 i have never seen my cpu go to 4.2 but i know my cpu is unlocked Then something is set up very wrong. If temps are not too high it should be running 4.2 most of the time. The 4.2 has nothing to do with unlocked. It is the turbo frequency. Maybe read this thread from the beginning again. I never said you should overclock. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 actually, the turbo should be 3.6 I think. Not 4.2 I find these specs for it: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X6%201090T%20Black%20Edition%20-%20HDT90ZFBK6DGR%20%28HDT90ZFBGRBOX%29.html [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il88pp Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 So you are still using a tweaked .cfg.... am I reading that correctly? ( I said three times now: "use a clean .cfg, not a tweaked one". But you keep using a tweaked one.) ---- If it is better graphics you want, use NVidia inspector. Stay away from your fsx.cfg. The results of your tweaking are obviously not good.

il88pp Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 You get good fps from, in order of importance: A good CPU. Correctly running and updated Windows. Run sfc /scannow every once in a while. Correct settings in the Bios. No virusses. Use a paid AV. Good cooling. (I had 18cm intake fan, exhaust was psu. Temp of air coming out of that was a smoldering 50 degrees. fps was 12 at high detail airports. -- New case, now intake and exaust are 140mm fans, psu draws air from room directly. Fps now 30 everywhere all the time (locked) ) Less important:: Win and FSX on SSD. So data can be sent to CPU quickly. Correct tweaks in fsx.cfg (The fewer the better!!) Don't use a "we will give you the best cfg ever" sites. It's a myth. it was usefull with a celeron, not anymore. Two simple tweaks can help also, no more: [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 For 4-core cpu's, to set fsx to run on core 1-2-3 , not 0 [JOBSCHEDULER] ---new line top AffinityMask=14 ---new line added A good graphics card gives a nicer looking display. Nvidia Inspector does so also. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Buzz Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi Soar 21, I used to run an AMD processor like yours, but it was the lowly 1035t. I managed to do a bios swap with my motherboard and was able to overclock the processor from 2.6 GHz to 3.5 Ghz. I was able to get a fairly steady 30fps (locked). Your processor can run about the same (or faster) so you should, in theory, be able to have similar performance. I also have the Carenado Centurion (one of my favorite GA AC) as well as some Orbx sceneries - and had decent performance with the AMD processor. A couple of things I noticed while taking a quick look at your originally posted (first one) fsx.cfg: Affinity Mask - your setting of 14 is for 4 cores (quad core processor). You have a 6 core processor (hexacore processor). They say that FSX is "multicore aware" with the addition of one of the service packs (SP). If you're going to add the affinity mask line to your config, it should be 62. There is a whole posting somewhere about how to figure out the actual math to get this number, but this link: http://www.gatwick-fsg.org.uk/affinitymask.aspx?SubMenuItem=hardware makes it much easier - it's an easy-to-use affinity mask calc. I'm not sure how much of an improvement you will see/feel if you change the affinity mask number, but try it and see. Worse comes to worse, you either keep the 14 (I wouldn't), or remove the entry entirely. I used the 62 on my AMD rig. Also, you have this: [bUFFERPOOLS] REJECTTHRESHOLD=524288 POOLSIZE=39000000 UsePools=0 The line "UsePools=0" turns the buffer pool entries off (0 = Off, 1 = On). There have been some threads written about the UsePools that either say it's better, worse, or no discernible effect. My suggestion, again, if you want to include these on the fsx.cfg, is to try with a 1 instead of the 0 and see how fsx performs. I have a 2GB vid card and I leave it on Usepools=0. For both my old AMD, and new intel rig, it seems a bit smoother. il88pp's advice to include the [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 line to your fsx.cfg is an absolute must - it was mistakenly left out by Aces studio. Here's one more thing you can try, and it's a controversial suggestion: I see your frames are locked at 30, and that is the commonly accepted advice for fsx, and with good reasons (eliminates/lowers stutters, etc.). Try setting the framerate to Unlimited and see what that does to performance - compare and contrast these results with the 30 fps lock. At worst, you can get an idea of the max performance you might be able to get out of your current set up. Opinions vary... I won't go into the AMD vs Intel CPU debate for FSX - both appear as viable choices if set up properly. AMD is usually less expensive and is a bit less efficient per-clock. Intel CPUs were used when developing FSX, like you said If you decide on going the Intel route with the CPU you noted, you are aware that you will have to purchase at the very least, a new motherboard? My experience going from my Phenom ii X6 1035t, overclocked to 3.5GHz, to an Intel 4690k, overclocked to 4.8Ghz: Not sure how fair this may sound because we're talking about 1.3GHz difference already between both processors. Most of the other components (RAM, Vid card, PSU, H2O cooler, case) were transferred to the new build, so it's as close as I can get to an "apples-to-apples" comparison with my equipment. My only other real change was the OS - AMD had Win7 64, Intel has Win8.1. My suggestion is to stick with Win 7 64. While Win8.1 works, there are little really annoying things that occur with FSX and Win 8.1 that sometimes tries my patience. NEVER had any of those kinds of problems in Win 7 64. As is commonly known, when it comes to FSX performance, CPU clockspeed has the greatest influence - the higher, the better. There really is no comparison going from 3.5GHz to 4.8GHz... And I don't think it matters much if going from AMD to Intel or vice-versa, because of the difference in speed. SO, from experience with my rigs: AMD @ 3.5GHz = 15-40 FPS (unlocked) on average (will depend on slider settings, quality/complexity of addons, tweaks, etc.) Intel @ 4.8GHz = 28-100's FPS (unlocked) on average at same slider settings, and addons. I can also enable "Bloom" without any noticeable slowdowns in performance, and I never realized how cool the effect was. Running the Intel at stock (3.5GHz), I get somewhat similar performance to the AMD at 3.5 GHz. So, you may have some choices to think about. If money is no object, get the best equipment you can afford with the highest CPU speed, regardless of CPU brand. There are many threads that describe the equipment choices others have made - read those to help you make a decision. Since you do have a Black Edition 1090t, you *might* be able to save a little by considering a motherboard worthy of that CPU and overclock the heck out of it. But, on the downside, unless you're willing to do some (OK, a lot of) research and reading about overclocking, there is a chance of bricking the chip (Bricking = rendering useless, as in "that chip is about as effective as a brick."). And to be honest, if you're going to go through the trouble of swapping out a motherboard, you might as well go with something that will last you for a while - not necessarily the latest and greatest (read: expensive), but something more current... I was confronted with those kind of choices before my current upgrade to Intel. Am I happy with my choice? FSX is so fluid that I now can become motion sick during flights in bad weather... :cool: Oy, enough of the rambling already! I hope this helps, E-Buzz :pilot: i5 4690k @ 4.7gHz (Water-cooled), 8GB ram, GTX 960 2GB, 850 EVO 1 TB SSD, 50" LED TV + 2x27" monitors, Thrustmaster HOTAS, Win 8.1 Pro, P3DV4, TrackIR, EZDOK, a bunch of Orbx stuff, a chair, a hacked-up desk, and a cold drink.
