Capt Pugwash Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I am planning on purchasing an Asus 1070 8gb strix graphic card this week to replace the 970 strix (been a great card). Time & tech moves on...and I hope the 1070 will really shine when paired with my LG 34' IPS Curved monitor...It should give significant improvement running at 3440 x 1440 which I do via DisPlay port connection not hdmi. Question for P3DV3 users...Whenever I used to upgrade my graphics card in FSX, I had to manually alter the card details in the FSX.cfg, is this still the case in P3D?

Adam Howarth Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 You may want to revisit your P3D settings via the menu to accommodate the extra grunt in your Pascal generation gpu but I don't see reason to be hacking the config outside the UI. I would dump the shader cache in the user profile, its under your local profile not the roaming profile, just to be safe. I think awhile back Lockheed added versioning to the shaders from memory but I'm not sure. Anyway deleting it gives certainty either way. With version 2 HDMI you have enough bandwidth to run 4K resolutions fine at high refresh rates but then again if your displayport is working OK there is no reason to move over on the connect.

Capt Pugwash Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 The GTX1070 upgrade has met all my expectations...it gives me what I hoped for on a 34' curve at 3440 x 1440 The bios update I did afterwards on my Asus Hero Z170 MOBO on the other hand was painful...ended up having to redo my overclock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Howarth Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Thats common to redo your OC after a bios flash. Glad the gpu upgrade turned out good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
