You’ve pretty much got the same processor as me. Sadly its just an older processor now and it does struggle with the CPU load the sim puts on it. The larger aircraft like the A320 are particularly big CPU hitters. I’m eyeing up a new processor and motherboard at some point this year. Its the only solution as far as I can see.
By the way you can get better FPS in the exterior camera view by turning off the display information. That might help you a little.
Switch off in BIOS the Hyper-Threading! I have I5 10600 and the improvement was felt. Why split the load on the most important core? It makes sense that this will reduce your performance. The other cores don’t care if it’s not split.
please notice your RAM usage. You should recheck your windows virtual memory settings ( at least overall 32Gig memory is necessary… so set MAX at least to 20gig ). But also then is a “file” on SSD not real memory.
Then… this topic exist soooooooooo often within this forum ( search ) . I cant count it.
Also the part that “one core is in higher load” ( and mostly the latest ). If I remember me, I mentioned this somewhere too…
A good starting point for you might be:
But you should have allways in mind that at some airports you get just 20fps ( e.g. LFPG ) …
and additional have mods again a partly huge impact on the “fps” ( just use the forums search function ).
For the ram usage, it is only high when near big airport like KJFK but I will try to increase the virtual memory.
My low fps near big airport or city has nothing do with THE graphical setting. With lower setting I can get a higher fps in rural area or high altitude but for me, 30fps is enough already. The only problem is when approaching big city or airport, no matter how low the setting is, I even tried playing under 720p but the fps is more or less the same. It seems my CPU is
Struggling not my GPU, I only play under 1080p but I can’t even get steady 30 fps in those places.
I started to think maybe I should change my CPU instead of GPU since I only play under 1080p.
For compare: I own similar CPU ( except the K ) i7-8700K (3.7-4.7) / 64Gig / 2080TI / 3840x1600 / near ultra / NO MODS. I have no real issues so far ( usually 40-60fps, except e.g. LFPG on ground ).
Its not necessary that you play in 720p ;)… amount of vector-data, etc are more important.
EDIT: I forgot to mention. I use the sync-core-mode. Kind of overcloacking. ALL Cores can in this way run at “Turbo” ( in my case 4.7 ) , which is normaly not the case.
I m actually having normal ~40fps in other GA aircraft, but inside A32nx… the fps is quite bad especially near big airport or big city. it always says that I am Limited by the Main thread.
I want to upgrade my hardware but I can’t decide which one should go first, CPU or GPU?
Then it depends of course a bit from your mainboard what you can do and what is it worth to do. Currently possible additional 16 Gig RAM… it’s not expensive and it fills the time till hardware come back in normal price range and more important “becomes available”
Doesn’t hyperthreading allow two process/threads to run at the same time in ore? One process/thread runs when the other process/thread is waiting or something?
