• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Frame Rate Test: It's For Real!

Falcon, just try something: set the usepools=0 line in the [bufferpools] section, as follows:

Code: 
[BufferPools]
UsePools=0

I'm pretty sure you'll get artifacts, but just ignore them for a moment and just try to determine if you're still getting micro-stutters or not. Just to know. After the test, you can remove the lines from your FSX.cfg again to revert back to your previous situation. On my computer, this tweak had a terrible effect at first: fantastic smoothness but TERRIBLE artifacts... that's why I quickly stopped using it... until my latests experiments :)

As I mentioned, I don't have a BufferPools section at all, can I just add that as indicated without the BufferPools= line?
 
Per default, this section does not exist in the FSX.cfg. But the bufferpools mecanism exists nevertheless, and by default the size of the bufferpools is set to 4 millions (4.000.000).
So, if you don't write any [Bufferpools] section in the FSX.cfg, or if you just add an empty [bufferpools] section, or if you add the section and a line PoolSize=4000000, it's just the same as default.

But if you add the section and the line UsePools=0, exactely like in my quote above, then you deactivate the bufferpools mecanism. That's the difference.
