Balancing your CPU and GPU

Balancing your CPU and GPU plus making sure your screen refresh rate is not set over 60fps will give you a smooth experience in the Flight Simulator.

  1. No Stutters

  2. NO GPU running at 90%+

  3. No GPU High temperature

Watch this video and make these simple adjustments to correct all of the above.

I have done it and I can’t believe the difference.

Yeah it’s been around awhile. Works for some and doesn’t for others.

Only way to test is go to challenging airports with high PG and you will soon realise stutters at present are unavoidable.

GA aircraft fine but jetliners are far more demanding

Totally agree. I haven‘t watched the video but generally the better the use of the hardware is balanced the better the sim runs.

Not only demanding airports. It‘s enough to takeoff from a default airfield with a Spitfire when there is PG around. Under a certain altitude there are stutters.

True. nothing will fix it until they can figure out how to use more cores effectively. hopefully DX12 will do just that.

Try this: Set your in game Full Screen Resolution to 1280x720, Render Scaling 100%, Terrain LOD 10 (Lowest), and 15% NIS Sharpening. With Vsync 30 I can run everything on Ultra, and it is smooth as silk. Give it a try.

So, you never tried the settings. You would rather just sit and show your ignorance. That’s a you problem.

Well, I’m going to try these settings. If you can’t trust Arnold who can you trust.

what? dont assume anything.

Trust me, I have tried many different settings which great help from some of the community here. your post is absulutley ridiculous to be honest.

Every machine is different, even if built alongside each other on the same line. Nothing is the same, even if purported to be by same manufacturer. Variations are going to exist. And the video says turn one setting to on, I don’t have on, I have off and ultra, and he said neither is good. I normally update Nvidia’s drivers every time they announce going to check now. Assume control panel is also updated each release, maybe wrong.
