teteuvictor Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 hello, I think that i have a good computer but my performance isn't too good. My pc specs: i7-6700 3.40GHz GTX1070 16GB RAM 2300Mhz 1TB HD 230GB SSD 6gb/s my fps outside the aircraft is above 60 frames on default scenary and on payware scenary like KMIA(LatinVFR) the fps stay around 30/25 frames, in VC of PMDG i had 30 frames and in payware scenary to much bigger i have 25/27 frames, i want to know if with mt specs i can increase the performance of my P3D like using a good tweaks or changing the setup of P3D.

billwhite Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I had my i7-6700k overclocked to 4.5 GHz. If you don't have the "k" model I believe you are getting about as much as you can. The big question is: Is the simulator running smoothly? If so, quit worrying about fps. I had mine professionally overclocked. you can burn up a processor if you don't know what you are doing.

teteuvictor Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 hi, so, my p3d works smoothly but the fps is 30, not less, not more, in other words, if the scenery need a little more perfomance my fps will drop to 20/25 did u understandw? Do u recommends i buy a better processor more than 4.0GHz? will have a big difference than my processor? because i thinking about it to buy a i7-4790k or a i7-6700k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgbaron Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 You are thinking like this was FSX. In P3D fps is not really important, it's whether or not the sim is smooth. I have my system locked at 20fps and it's perfectly smooth with almost all sliders maxed. If your system is smooth at 30 and if it drops to 20 when you add scenery AND it is STILL smooth - you are just fine. Stop chasing FPS - turn the counter off and never look at it again. Tune your system to get perfectly smooth performance. You could have 100fps but if it's not smooth, it still sucks.

If it's not SPECIFICALLY for P3D `whatever` (why do people persist in NOT telling us what version?) then you probably should NOT have installed that. List all addon sceneries...

teteuvictor Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 the unique scenary that my frames drop a lot is KATL(ImagineSim), and the p3d isn't work smoothly with this scenary. But tks everyone for the reply and i'll turn off my frames and only think if my p3d is smoothly or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Hi VgBaron, I have an almost identical setup to you I7, 7700, ASUS M4A89GTD PRO, GTX1080Ti, 16Gb, SSD. so we should be head to head on performace. I can also hold my hand up and say I have been chasing FPS (which, as you quite correctly point out, are well over 40-50fps, but the sim is definitel NOT smooth). I have downgraded the realism features which shows an improvement in FPS, but not in the smoothness of the sim - further illustrating what you say. I will now turn it off and now view it again! However, could ou point me in the right direction for improving the smoothness? I built the PC, but overclocking etc. is not my forte! Any help or advice gratefully received.

vgbaron Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 First thing I would do is lock your FPS at 20, turn OFF the FPS counter. No Vsync and no triple buffering. Using nvidia control panel or inspector - leave AA alone set anisotropic filtering to user/off set it to 16x power management to max performance multi display to singe (even if you use two) texture filtering negative LOD bias to clamp texture filtering setting to high quality in the P3D.CFG Texture Bandwidth multiplier to 80 no affinity mask or AM=15 ( HT off in BIOS) texture size exp either 8 or 9 - no higher FFTF at 0.15 start there and set your sliders midway - now, depending on what you like visually - start increasing and decreasing. do not look at the FPS counter - just try to get the smoothest operation. I'd start with a default a/c and stay away from ORBX California or Europe when testing.
