I have i7 920 6gigs of ddr3 280gtx running on Win7 Game is running at 1080p rez Basic install of FSX following by SP1 and then SP2. Modified fsx.cfg as per guide. Some of options / lines were missing so I manually copied / pasted into my config required additions.

Legend Legsie is such a Hotshot Registered: 05/09/00 Posts: 7442 Loc: Zutphen, NL / ShangHai, China	How many add-ons do you have? Which add-ons? If you fly, for example, Vancouver+ you will get a huge framerate hit. Or Aerosoft's F-16. Other add-ons as well. Or if you have a lot of different add-ons in your folders. _________________________ There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.

#2836093 - 08/06/09 03:01 PM Re: Performance guide? [Re: Sim]
FAC257 Member Registered: 11/11/01 Posts: 135	Sim Just looking at your .cfg, the two things I would try to play with first would be that FPS locked limit your using. If you already haven't tried it, use a setting around 30-32 and see if that changes anything. Then try the FPS lock at "Unlimited". There was a point in time where higher than neccesary locked FPS rates were creating big fluctuations in FPS rate. FSX should look great and fly smoothly in the 30-32 range and at least worth a test try. The other setting I would experiment with is the Bufferpool entry. I would take that out completely while trying the FPS lock tests. You've got a lot of power in that system and just have to find the bottle neck. FAC

Sim Hotshot Registered: 09/18/01 Posts: 8364 Loc: Vegas	Thank you for the reply. I removed bufferpool entree and changed fps to unlimited. Game still experiences studder. FPS would show 70+ and then change to 50 - 20 - 60- 50 - 20 while game experiences light freezes. That is when I'm on a runway just trying to take off in none populated area.

Sim Hotshot Registered: 09/18/01 Posts: 8364 Loc: Vegas	Is there anything else I can do? I turned off light bloom, advanced animation Directx10. No AA. No traffic Special details - low what else can I do to remove micro-stutter? My system is more than enough to run thing thing...

FAC257 Member Registered: 11/11/01 Posts: 135	Sim I know this isn't much help at this point, but with that hardware you listed you shouldn't be having to turn all those features off or to lower settings to eliminate stuttering. Specially if you didn't see any improvement after you changed all that. Earlier when we you were playing with the FPS settings you mentioned trying it at "Unlimited". Have you tried locking it down around the 25-30 FPS mark to see what happens. FSX performance is almost completely determined by your CPU strength and it's thru put. Given the power of that system of yours it may come down to trying to figure out which of the components aren't in tune with each other. IMO The bottom line is that if your having to turn down all the settings inside FSX and still can't fly smoothly then that would lead me to start thinking that one or more pieces of your hardware are either not in sync or not quite set up correctly. There might be a simple mhz bottle neck somewhere. FAC
