Extremely low P3D FPS (12/90), low GPU usage - 4.6GHz, 980Ti

Postby anubhav100 » Sun Oct 02, 2016 6:41 pm

Just setup my new CV1 with a fresh P3D 3.4 install and I am plagued with low FPS with Flyinside (10/90 or 12/90) in the default scenario (F-16 scenario). In terms of graphic settings within P3D, I have Tesselation enabled and almost everything is Low-Medium.

My setup is an i-7 6700K Oc'ed to 4.6GHz and a 980Ti GPU.

Without Flyinside, regular P3D gives me 80-100fps at the default scenario but with Flyinside the P3D fps crashes down to only 10-12! Flyinside can still maintain 90 but clearly its struggling to do so..and results in an uncomfortable experience. This is all with the default aircrafts, F-16 and Cessna.

The weird part is that in regular P3D (non Flyinside), HWmonitor says I am using 100% CPU and almost 90% GPU. But with Flyinside, I am using 100% CPU and barely 30% GPU. Clearly the GPU is not being used much at all in the VR setup... could this be the issue?

Add-ons are REX textures and ORBX Global. No traffic and no custom weather.

Any ideas?

That doesn't seem right.

What resolution do you have set in the FI Settings? And what do you have for the adaptive setting?

I have the same CPU as you, also overclocked to between 4.5 and 4.8 (depending on active cores). I only have a GTX 970 and yet I am maintaining a good 60/90 frame rate most of the time. I don't have REX installed yet (I own it, just haven't put it in yet) but I do have OrbX global installed. I also am not just on low to medium settings, I forget exactly what they ARE set to but a lot of it is up quite high.

Of course it will all depend as well on where you are trying to fly I suppose. Because it's the area I live, I've been doing all my experimenting taking off from Bristol International (EGGD) and heading inland down the Bristol channel towards West Somerset in either the Baron or another similar one. If I were to try and fly over London or New York for example I'd expect rates to plummet.

I also found two interesting things. Firstly I did a lot of experimenting before eventually purchasing FI and something got messed up because I ended up with jerky visuals and low rates. When I bought it I used the reset settings shortcut and everything sorted it's life out. I hardly touched it from the defaults and it's nice. The second thing is that my cockpit is not all that clear. I'm putting this down to the GTX970 and the fact that I really cannot get the FI resolution up to the maximum and still maintain an acceptable experience.

Ultimately I would like to invest in a 1080 card but even though I'm fortunate to have a good income, it's not something I'm about to just buy on a whim, so I'm selling some items and raising the cash first :)

Hi anubhav100,
on which OS are you operating? With my Win7 64 i had the same problem. In Windows I was forced by flyinsidep3d to enable the Aero Design. This slowed my pc extremly down. Even with a i7 6400k and a 980ti.
With Win10 I have a lot of fps. Might that be a possiblity?
Best regards,
Martin

Hi there,
on which OS are you operating? On my Win7 64 bit I had the same problem. With Win10 I have a lot of fps.
I think it had to do with this Aero Design in Win7. I was forced by flyinside to activate the Aero Design, whis this even in Windows I had bad fps.
Best regards,
Martin

I got things working everyone! Basically changed the nvidia setting from "Adaptive" to "Maximum Performance" or something like that and that kicked the GPU into gear. I am now in the realm of 35-40 fps (in sim) / 90fps (ATW). Still not close to the 50-55/90 range that others seem to be on..but alteast its flyable.

I am on Win 10.
