Struggle To Get 30FPS With Scenery With A GTX 960 4GB ?

Hello Everyone

 

Ive recently got a NVIDIA GTX 960 4GB GDDR5 and i sturggle to get 30FPS in small airports with scenery

 

for example I get 26FPS With

ORBX FTX GLOBAL

UK2000 Stansted

 

Its really upsetting that i spent £200 on a GTX 960 and my frames still arnt amazing

And just for reference i have an intel core i5 4690K 4.2 GHz

 

Some Please Help !

Sounds about right to me. GTX960 very much a midrange product - as is your I5.

 

Solution is to stop looking at the stupid frame rate counter and concentrate on smooooooooooothness.

I'm not really concerned about the FPS Counter it's more to the fact that when I look around it lags with the low frames

Should have used FSX on that machine!

There are many users with lesser systems than yours that are running P3D just fine. You need to adjust your settings for the smoothest operation possible at the lowest FPS. My system is much stronger than yours and I have mine locked at 20 and it's as smooth as glass.

 

I have another system with an old 980X cpu and gtx650 card and it runs p3d just fine with all the orbx stuff.

 

There's not much tweaking but you do need to adjust your settings to get the best balance for your system.

I have an i7 with a GTX 970 and, many places, don't do much more than that. So much depends on where you are, but it's also about slider settings. I cannot keep them all maxed, except in a few remote areas. And in New York, LA, etc. I have to have many settings at sparse and not much above Normal, with water low, and weather set low, and even then may only see 15-20 (occasionally less) fps. And this is all with FTX Global Base and Vector, plus all available North American Regional ORBX sceneries.

 

So you're not doing bad for what you have.

 

Hint:

I've saved sets of settings for different places/conditions, so that I can go to a very low setting for LA easily and repeatably, then the same for Haines, Alaska on high settings, just for example.
