Timberleaf Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 What kind of return on fps could I expect with an i7-9700, nvidia 2070 8gb, 32 gb ddr4 memory 2666, water cooled, 850 watt power supply, and p3d4+? P3D is usually not included in benchmark performance output forums.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 "What kind of return on fps could I expect" A good one. And P3D will usually not be included in those benchmarks, because it is not a FPS "game", but a niche market simulation. In what you have posted about your proposed rig, I would check the motherboard specs and go for the fastest RAM you can install on it.

Timberleaf Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) This is what I settled on based on budget ability / constraints. Win 10 64 bit , i7 9800x 3.8 GHz , RTX 2080 8GB , 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4. It isn't top-of-the-line, but it sure isn't a bottom feeder, either. What do I need to know about gaming / simming and Windows 10? The last time I bought a computer was April 2010.

vgbaron Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 hat do I need to know about gaming / simming and Windows 10? The last time I bought a computer was April 2010. LOL! How many months do you have for an answer?? Seriously though, just common sense.P3D is not like FSX - you want to tune it for the LOWEST fps you can run and STILL get SMOOTH performance. Higher FPS does not mean smooth performance. For example, on my system I lock my FPS at 20 and I can still have most settings at or near max and it is smooth. Try to set up a repeatable setting that you can test against when you add new things. And, with P3D - deleting the p3d.cfg file is always a good way to reset the sim.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 One thing you need to know - UAC in Win 10 seems to be much more "protective" (read: AGGRESSIVE) than in Win 7. So you should install P3D outside the default folder, for instance to a folder you call C:\P3D, or even better on a different drive than Windows.

Wildthing Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 What kind of return on fps could I expect with an i7-9700, nvidia 2070 8gb, 32 gb ddr4 memory 2666, water cooled, 850 watt power supply, and p3d4+? P3D is usually not included in benchmark performance output forums. I have the same setup as you but with an Nvidia 2080 refrence card. I can run P3dV4 nearly at max using a detailed airport and PMDG 777 while maintaining 35 FPS. I do use a 2580x1080 monitor, so a smaller 16x9 widescreen dsiplay will give you beter FPS.

wblackret Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) I just received my new pc. The specs are pretty much the same (cpu/gpu), Ram is at 32gb and power supply a 750 watt. P3D v4.5xxx runs super! Bought rig from Jetline Systems. Very professional and a wonderful group of guys to work with! It’s the GT2.
