(NDU registry change) Increase performance immediately! AMAZING!

If you compare what your GPU was doing before and after, you’d see the GPU usage cut to half or less over time. This keeps it close to 100% most of the time. Your 3090 is putting in good work. This is what we paid for.

Some say ndu doesn’t work, others say ndu works. But theoretically, stopping the ndu reduces the load on the cpu, so I think it should work even though it is not noticeable. :thinking:

You can also just bookmark this registry location as a Favorite in Regedit.

There is a fix for those who are flying with a32nx. Open MCDU server and let it run in the background. This should help with stutters and some people says that after this they dont see decreased performance anymore.

Thank you, will try that too :slight_smile: Greets, Markus

The first few flights with the regex edit were amazing with good FPS and next to no degredation in longer flights. Now the issue seems to have returned unfortunately. Over a flight of one hour, my FPS have reduced by 50%. I checked if the edit in regex was still there, and it is. Meaning I’m back where I started… I’m going to fly a few more flights to see if there is any pattern.

Workaround.

Start the mcdu server.

Go to → community → flybywire-aircraft-a320-neo → MCDU SERVER

Double click server.exe

press N or Y key → press enter key.

No need to open the remote fmc on another device.

You’re very welcome.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for sharing this! I have a 1GB ethernet connection and no data limit set in the game but I still saw a definite improvement. I cleared out the Community folder completely and did both long and short flights as a test before I changed the NDU.
It’s definitely resulted in improved visuals all round - it is much smoother and more fluid, and has allowed me to bump up the LOD sliders a tiny bit without becoming mainthread limited and re-introducing stutters.

Great find, thanks again!

Did not help me. FPS dropped from 40 down to 30 within 1.5 hrs. No pushback toolbar. LOD 105

I don’t experience any benefit

Made this change, but have not seen any difference in rate, however, I don’t normally fly longer than 3 hours… Also have 1+Gb download speed hard wired into the PC.

No change for me either

This is interesting, thanks for flagging

Only if the ndu process would otherwise be running on a core also servicing MSFS. :sunglasses:

and beside of the placebo 0.000001% cpu load :wink:

how are people getting 99% GPU usage?? My GPU is only at 70% and I have an RTX 2060, I’ve tried everything to force the game to use my GPU more and reduce CPU load. The registry edit didn’t do anything .

3090 here too and the ndu fix worked for me really well

What is your resolution?
My rtx2060super is always 100% utilized but I’m on a 3440x1440 which is hard to push for this gpu.

I’m on 1080p, but with resolution scaling maxed out or not my simulator always shows limited by mainthread no matter what I do. And my CPU and GPU both are not even 100% utilized so I don’t know why it says “limited”. My sim has always ran like ■■■■ (20-30fps) after doing many tweaks that I could find on these forums, I gave up already. I have an intel i7 6700 (non-K) with RTX 2060 and 32GB of RAM if you’re curious.
