Hageneezz Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Good evening all, Is there some logic in deciding the bufferpool values that are best for ones system? I have read there are lots of different values, maybe someone can help me pointing me in the right direction? Here are my system details: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Intel Core i5 3570 @ 3.4 Ghz 8 GB DDR 3 Ram NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750 2GB SSD Thanks...

cianpars Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Yep, somewhat subjective and system dependant, but i agree that your rig is good enough for usepools=0. Thats what i use with mine having tested numerous values and rejec threshold settings.

Hageneezz Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 I have been using usepools=0 for a while now, and i am very happy with performance FPS wise and overall smoothness, i however keep getting artifacts. I searched about and tried setting the water to 2x high, but still keep getting artifacts.. Is there a setting almost similar to usepools=1 but without artifacts?

JSMR Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I use poolsize=3000 and get some extra fps. Won't find that written anywhere though. :D https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 When I had my old i3 system at 3.3 GHz on 8 GB of RAM with first a nVidia GT 620 and later a GT 640 card, I got artifacts and had to use buffers, but am not sure of the values I had. Now, with a i7-6700 at 3.4 GHz on 16 GB and a nVidia GTX 960, I don't have to use buffers. So, in between the two is where the fuzzy borderline is, and some experimentation would be in order. By all means try the value that JSMR proposed and see what happens. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSMR Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks guys, iìll try out poolsize=3000 soon! If your PC blows up, I'm not responsible. :D Also try this : http://www.sysprobs.com/22-easy-free-steps-windows-7-faster-faster I did most of that, except paging file at step 3 and found my windows even faster and seems to improve FPS a little 3-4 FPS in both FS9 and FSX. Its gives back a few cycles to the CPU to work on FSX/9 and that can only be a good thing. https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hageneezz Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 So i`ve tried the bufferpools 3000 setting. I`m getting similar performance as the usepools=0 setting, high FPS and very smooth flying, only, as with usepools=0, i`m getting artifacts...what a shame. I`m going to try out some other settings, but for know i`ll take the artifacts with the smooth performance of usepools=0 over the other settings, which have no artifacts but less smooth experience. Thanks for helping me out so far! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hageneezz Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 I`m going to save up money to buy a system like yours! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
