P3D V4.5 CONFIG "HELP"

Post by maticrd »

Hi, can someone help me with the configuration of my p3d v4.5 in order to have more fps, or maybe some recomendations about the nvidia configuration panel, or the cfg. Thanks.

My pc spects are:
-AMD A10 7850K
-RAM 16GB DDR3
-ASUS A88XM-A
-GTX 1050 2GB DDR5

here I show some config:

There is a tonne of tutorials on YouTube for p3d nvidia settings. If nothing else, lock FPS to something like 30 and set unlimited in the sim.

As for config, you needn’t bother changing anything.

There’s only so much you can squeeze out of tweaking the sim these days. There is no conspiracy that is causing your PC to hold back a tonne of power.

Louis is right, lock FPS to 30 in the nVidia Control Panel, and set it to unlimited in the sim.

If you want further improvements, you'll need new hardware, but that calls for a budget.....

@ maticrd ,

I leave the Nvidia Control panel in a default state.
I set my FPS to 29 in P3D.

Now that you have screenshots of all your current settings and know your current FPS in windowed and full screen modes with the P3D default flight (and possibly your favorite aircraft and airport) you could:

Turn every Option setting in P3D to Off or Minimum selected value / slider setting.
Not worrying about quality here for the quick test.

Exit P3D
Reboot PC.

Start P3D and check your FPS again using the default flight.

What are you seeing now?

What I did:
  • NVIDIA power option "Prefer maximum power"
  • I lock FPS in RTSS (found it smoother than in NVIDIA control panel), set it to unlimited in the sim and select VSYNC in the sim, so I have tearing at heavy airports
  • Disabled VSYNC of Windows (should work in Windows 10 by NVIDIA control panel
  • Someone wrote that the sim's VSYNC setting doesn't really VSYNC but helps the sim to calculate frame times.
  • I changed my monitor to a 120 Hz monitor, that makes tearing nearly unrecognizable
