That's a pretty huge difference right there. Look at the difference in frame rates when I load two different planes at the same place and time, one simple, the other with more complex systems: I also have a fairly stripped-down computer without a lot of stuff running in the background. My monitor resolution is 1920x1200 and even when running a weather plugin like SkyMaxx Pro or XEnviro I'm getting an easy 40 fps in a window, just slightly lower than that full screen. I have the visual effects slider in XP11 set to High/HDR and world objects at Max. I'm running a similar setup to yours - i7 6700 4.0 GHz, 32 Gig RAM, GTX 970 video. What is your monitor resolution? That's a major factor in achievable frame rates. But at this time I am undecied what do I am waiting the next Beta to see if any improvements have been made to the rendering etc.not just the tire friction! XP 11 is very nice but does require some good horse power especially when you want to run a good payware aircraft.like the IEXG

Got say my system is identical to yours and I get the same performance, better with default aircraft and no clouds, I think it will be a case of if I continue with this platform I will have to upgrade the PC. Is my system really that bad for XP11, or is it anything I can to to tweak it? I've tried turning off threaded optimization, but that doesnt make any difference for me at all. Still, with an I7 OCed to 4.5 ghz and a GTX 970, I am only getting around 17 FPS. So for I only installed these + IXEG 737 and Aerosoft EGLL Heathrow just to do some testing.Īlso running quite medium settings except number of object (I need this on maximum or else the ground looks like a desert). So I took the plunge and bought XP11, updated to SkyMaxx 4 along with real world weather connector.
