Some Good News, for a Change


Recommended Posts

I often complain here, or ask for help with CTDs, etc., so I thought I'd share some good news for a change.

 

In the past, with V-sync on, my CPU was typically working at

 

Here's what I've done:

 

--Installed the latest driver, 472.12, for my Nvidia GPU.

--Turned off V-sync.

--In my Nvidia control panel ("3D setting"), limited my FPS to 30. (Some will argue, but most concur the human eye can't detect any difference between 30 and much higher; so why waste your GPU's energy on "unlimited" FPS?)

--Went to the SoFly Manual, p. 214 et seq., and implemented all of their suggestions for maximizing performance (with a few minor differences) EXCEPT I left Game Mode ON.

 

This week, a typical reading was : CPU: 19%, GPU: 58! I don't have anything on Ultra, but a number on High. Maybe I could move a few sliders to the right, but I'm not sure where best to spend the capacity.

 

Hope this helps somebody out there.

 

(BTW, I've had 2 CTDs in the past 2 months, and both of those were in the Aerobus H135 freeware helicopter.)

 

My specs:

 

i7-8700 3.7 GHz

GeForce GTX 1070 Ti; 8GB onboard

AORUS Z370 Gaming 5 LGA 1151 ATX motherboard

16GB RAM

2 TB hard drive

27” MSI gaming monitor

Glad it’s working well for you now. These posts are always good :)

 

As for the freeware H135 though.. can’t say I’ve had any CTDs with it.
