Hi Guys,
I'm using the PMDG 737 on the latest P3D v4.1 with the latest drivers on a machine with a 8700k@4.7GHz and a GTX1070. When I'm not using FI, I get ~55-65 fps in regular airports and ~40-45 with more complex sceneries, according to the info presented by "shift+z". According to CPUID HWmonitor in this case there are several cores running on 100% (frame rate set to unlimited), GPU around 50-70%.
When I start FI without changing any setting (except for the window size, as without FI I run it at full screen windowed) I get max 40 at regular airports, but more likely ~30-35, and ~20-25 in complex airports, according to either "shift+z" or the numbers presented by FI (first part of 30/90 for example, the second number stays at 90 always). The more interesting thing is that in this case no CPU cores are running at 100%, the GPU stays in the same 50-70% range.
This doesn't seem to change if I fly day or night.
Is this normal, or am I missing something?
Please see my settings attached.
