Lenux Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I wonder what's the best settings for the graphics, with the GTX 980Ti / 4K Here are my settings, attached So i have about 35 fps average. If i change the resolution to 2560x1440, i have 60 fps, with VSync ON, for both. But when i installed the game, 4-5 weeks ago, with the same settings @4k the game was running way better, i mean more FPS. Am i doing something wrong, maybe ? I tried to reduce everything to MEDIUM / AF to OFF / flat terrain as well, but with the same fps. Would you please give me some advices ? I do not want to use 2560x1440 Thank you I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenux Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Solway, do you have everything high / extreme for the graphics settings? It's hard to believe that you have 60 fps with those 2 extreme settings Which software would you recommend for monitoring the fps? There is one, in the game, top left, Right Alt + Pause, or something like this, but it's way to small, i wish I could modify the letters, numbers, but i don't know where they are located I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenux Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Thank you, Invisibull. I thought, its much easier to press Ctrl + pause, to see the FPS I see that you have 16 GB ram, too, like many others on this forum Hmmm, i think about, maybe i get 8 GB more. This game / simulator, is by faaaaar, the best i ever played. One more question, please : whats the best settings for the TrackIR 5 if you have some light sources behind / near you ? Light filter threshold was set to 150, now i changed it to 253. Everytime when i play and a small sunshine goes through the window ( behind me ) the TrackIR goes crazy Edited December 28, 2015 by Lenux I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenux Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I wonder how much faster would the game load on SSD vs HDD I have it right now on HDD. @solway, i have something similar, but the window is right behind me, so i have to pull those rollers down I9 12900k@ 5 GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi d4| RTX 3090 | 6 TB SSD + 8 TB HDD | 4K Samsung Q90R 55" | VKB MK III PRO L | Virpil Throttle MONGOOST-50 | MFG Crosswind | TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxarkov Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Is it worth to get another SSD, only for games?! Yes it is. On another note, to get the most performance, i7/980 Ti wise, I recommend overclocking as much as you can get away with. In my experience the 980 Ti gets significant gains OCed. I run my Ti boost clock at ~1400Mhz and memory +200-300 Mhz using EVGAs Precision X software. My card is a regular clocked EVGA card with the upgraded ACX 2.0 cooler and has an ASIC score of 74.5% so your milage may vary. __________________________________________________________ i7 3930k @ 4.7GHz | GTX 980 Ti | 16GB G.Skill 2133 Quad Channel | Samsung 850 EVO SSD | Win7 ProX64 | CH Fighterstick | CH Pro Pedals | CH Throttle | BenQ XL2730Z 1440p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
