FSX just not running sweet!

[peter12213]

Guys I've just upgraded to a GTX560 and fsx is just not running sweet, I've applied all the normal tweeks but she's still stuttering, not too bad but any stutter is bad enough also the anti analising is terrible, any advice?

Hi peter12213,

Did you remove the hold Nvidia driver and run a Driver sweeper before installing the new card and new driver.

I got a free driver sweeper from uguru3d also good for the latest Nvidia drivers.

Bruce.

NO Bruse I had it installed in the shop for me, I'm not really good with PC's, so can I ask what to do for that?

Mate having been an fsx acceleration user since 07/08 I tend to disagree all I need is some help using Nvidia inspector, I'm not an overclocker as I have no knowledge of that however coming from a GTS250 to a X560, all I need is some tweeking, i'm running some of the finest payware sceneries and aircraft, don't get me wrong I love freeware but this is my hobby and so expect and only get the best, all I need is a little guidiance on how to extract the best from what I have and considering Ive had this new card for 4 days some help would be much appreciated and not any negative waves please! Yeah I did watch Kelly's hero's on Saturday!! WOOF WOOF!

Pete give me the specs of your computer and I will help you. Just message me with the details..type and speed, motherboard, cpu, wattage of power supply and +12VAmp

Ted basically I asked for another 2 cores to make it 6 but he said the bios or somthing wouldn't accept it, I asked for an I7 and he said theres no need, treat me as a child with comps I have no idea mate! I'm so grateful you have looked in on my troubles! I'm stumped, first flight the comp stalled and shut down secont flight with the ME108 fsx developed an error, I now have new drivers and it is untested! but those are the specs I think mate! :isadizzy:

The man that sold it to you is an idiot and obviously never flew FSX!!!! Do you have to option to ask for an upgrade at reduced prices? However if not this is what we have to work with let me see what I can come up with for tweaks. I will get with you tomorrow. I will go over to TechCorp and see if they still have some specs I can use.

Ted the GTX is the only upgrade, £220 I paid, what do I need mate can you suggest some parts maybe?

 

[txnetcop]

Pete I'm going over to TechCorp this morning they have two older Phenom units my guess is though they are Phenom IIs but I will see what I can come up with. One thing for sure is that you need at least 3GHZ CPU speed to effectively use that GTX560.

Have you tried this tweak? It may do absolutely nothing until we get your CPU speed up to 3.0GHz but it is worth a try.

An i7 upgrade isn't gonna be cheap if we have to go the upgrade route see which is easier to do in your area AMD AM3+(accommodates the new Bulldozer CPU coming out) or i5 motherboard with i7 2600K CPU, both will require new DDR3 Ram as well. Also I need to know what power supply you have and what the +12v rating is...this is usually stenciled on the power supply itself when you open the case.

Peter I have not abandoned you my friend give me another day to come up with a solution

One of the best tweeks I've found for my setup is to run FSX locked at 20 frames per second. For some reason or other my card GTX295OC likes that setting and it keeps stutters to a minimum.

I also have FSX set to to use NHancer. Those settings seem to produce medium-to-hi quality graphics with a minimum of Antialiasing.

Hope some of this helps.

Locking your frame rates in is always a big help. If you leave it set to max it will always try to run at max and this is what causes stutters also. I have mine locked in at 30fps and have very good results. I also run with anti-aliasing off, but when I do a screen shot I max my card settings through the card setup board popup on my main screen.

2.30 GHz is a slooooooow CPU for FSX. My Core2Quad is running at 3.8 GHz and that seems to be pretty good and in FSX, the faster the CPU, the better FSX will run.
