Mowgli22 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hi Everyone. I am running fs9 and have a GTX 560ti vid card not tweaked in any way. I use Nvidia Inspector and use 4x sparse grid sampling along with the other recommended settings by Nick N. When I am in dense clouds my temps run in the high 60s and GPU usage is at 99%. Temp and GPU drop drastically if I move the view to clear skies. Is there any risk I am running like this.

johnost Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Any CPU/GPU temp under 70 C should be completely safe. Under heavy loads my CPU runs in the high 70's and has lasted for 5 years so far.

alferra Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The 4x sparse grid supersampling is going hard on your GPU, and I don´t think Nick recommends such high setting, it should not be needed. Try seeing if you really need it and if not get rid of it. Read more about Antialias supersampling here http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/aa-af-guide#2 What kind of textures are you running in the clouds ? try not using over 2048 max texture in your fsx.cfg.
