Apple computers, their huge tower systems, are now setup for 32Gigs of Ram. If I could, I would have 12 to 32 Gigs of Ram, but Windows 32Bit cannot handle that. Imagine the massive power of 12 Gigs!!!! Man.. It would be amazing in gaming...

- There are hardly any 64 bit games.
- A 32 bit game can't use more than 4 gigs of RAM on a 64 bit system, 3 gigs of RAM on a 32 bit system with tweaks, 2 gigs of RAM on a vanilla 32 bit windows.
- Most of the games are made in such way that they don't exceed 2 gigs o RAM usage, even less, because they would crash on most systems if they did that with the OOM error.

The same applies to other programs, like 3DS or Photoshop.

I have almost the exact system but an i7 920, OC to 3.7 Ghz only 3GB RAM though. I had to put my texture bandwith multiplier or whatever it's called in the FSX.cfg file to 10 instead of the stated 40, that took away my stutters for some strange reason.

This does work a treat for me too mine is at 15 tho ona slightly worse system!! try sliding your autogen down and getting rid of light bloom that uses so much memeory its insane and with the newer weather programs you don't even miss it! I mean Ive been an fsx user sinse 2007 and i still learn something new about performance and realism of the sim everday but if bob gives ya advise take it trust me that guy knows his sh*t bud.. Best wishes Pete!
 
If you use REX clouds too at HD levels like 4096, make sure you have the DTX5 option clicked also, this helped me tremendously, I never put my FPS on Unlimited, I have it set at 28 FPS, Unlimited causes me stuttering badly.
 
To cure stutters on my own i7 system I set a BufferPool value of 300MB, which allows me to run extremely dense autogen stutter free. All that is required is lots of video memory. Those with a 1GB video card can often run 400MB buffepool, however high texture memory users like 4096 aircraft or cloud textures may require the bufferpool to be adjusted to a lower value. I run 2048 max and have no problems with a 300MB bufferpool on my 900MB card. If you search the forum here for "Miracle Tweak" you can read all about it. Otherwise here's my tweaking thread at Orbx. I suggest reading through the whole thing becuase my tweaks evolved during the thread as I completed more testing and fine tuned things.

BTW, regarding RAM usage a noted above, I was just doing some screenshot comparisons, and with LOD at 12 I was using a full 5GB of RAM.

I have the 285 with 1GB memory and that didn't help any, so that is strange, so I don't even mess with that setting any more. It's a shot in the dark though with all these different configurations though.
 
how the f*ck do you guys find out what spec ya comp is on mine i took it to the shop and said get what u can out of it lol its a dell dimension 4600, intel 4, nivida 7.600 gs graphics card, but how do u find out what memory and ram u have plus in the lock framerate section of the aircraft.cfg can u set ya frames to a constant limit all the time or not? instead of using the deafault slider to unlimited or whatever.

Do you purposely try to antagonize people or am I missing something? What kind of language is that, even if you're not spelling it? How about some tact? Sorry, that just seems like a very rude way to ask for something.
 
yes - setting unlimited FPS is wrong unless you are using that special tweak thanger that nickN brought up a few months ago - doesn't look like you are there yet so best to lower your FPS lock as harleyman suggests.

and like Bob says - the asterisk doesn't hide the language at all so...ease up on that maybe and you'll get better results in this forum.

Peter....Download and run this..It will tell you all about your computer specs..http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.html



And yes..You can set frames in the FSX config...Or in the user interface too!

35 is a good place to start I think...

Cheers bud!

P.s. no offence intended Bob I shall watch my language in future mate esspecially while drunk, and I never purposely try to antagonize anyone!
And as what for was said yes 22 for frames, 10 for texture bandwidth and you should be laughing mate!
