CRJ_simpilot Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 It's a good computer. I'm not too sure about P3D's capabilities, but I know most Sims these days are only single threaded which means you can't crank the settings all the way up unless you want to lose some frames. I'm not too sure if P3D is multi-threaded or not. I thought it was, but since it's based off of FSX or whatever that "commercial" variant was called, I have my doubts. Edit- M$ ESP was the name of the commercial Sim. Same crap, different pile. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both P3D and FSX are multi-threaded, and more importantly can shed some load onto multiple cores. They don't balance all that well (1 core is heavily loaded and the bottleneck) but that doesn't mean they're not multi-threaded. Cheers!

vegasjon Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If you're going to run P3D V4 with any addons such as ORBX or PMDG, you may want to invest in more RAM..An additional 8GB to get you to 16GB should not be too hard on the wallet. Also, a 4GB video card may be a bit limiting but not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it truly utilized all the cores we could crank the settings to max without issue. Especially in this day and age. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

Luke Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Well, I know FSX is mostly single threaded. If it truly utilized all the cores Much, but not all, of this is due to the workload itself, not the code. There are very, very few embarrassingly parallelizable workloads in computer science.
