European Mountain Man Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi all I have a 28" acer predator monitor you have vertical sync on and Fast what is best for P3dv4 my resolution is 3840 x2160 at 60 Hz This is in NVidia control panel regards stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paj Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'll be interested in the responses to this as I've just built a new PC and purchased a new Acer X34 GSync monitor. Currently I"m running P3D with the same recommended gsync settings as other 3D games and it seems fine: - vsync off in the game - vsync on in nvidia inspector (or nvidia control panel) - gsync on for windowed and full screen in nvidia inspector (or nvidia control panel) (See for example: https://www.howtogeek.com/270672/how-to-enable-optimize-and-tweak-nvidia-g-sync/ But the settings above are recommended on numerous reddits, tech sites, gaming sites etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnkH Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 As an owner of a G-Sync monitor I have to admit: I turned all G-Sync features off via nVidia Profile Inspector for Prepar3d. Why is this? The fact that G-Sync only works from 30Hz on upwards is not really good for using it with a flight simulator where you can hardly achieve those 30FPS on a constant basis. My monitor, a Dell S2716DG, is flickering when it switches between G-Sync "on" and "off", which happens as soon as the FPS fluctuate around 30FPS. Short verdict: either you try to have your FPS inside your sim constantly above 30, then you can use the G-Sync feature, or you have to manually turn it off (as I do).

European Mountain Man Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thanks mine goes up to about 60 and down to about 30 frames at 60 Hz I can also set mine to 30 Hz but I have never tried that , I have noticed the difference if my monitor switches from windows mode to full screen mode on G-sync in NVidia control panel and p3d does not perform as well and I realise and switch it back to windowed mode in NVidia control panel . I always run the sim in widowed mode regards stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you really can't achieve over 30 fps with your hardware ? Lol. Turn your sliders down. Geeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 LOL? Why LOL? This is simply a matter of priorities. And as it does not really bother me if G-Sync is off around 30FPS, I turn it off to prevent flickering due to the switch between G-Sync on and off. Of course I could aim for 40FPS or even more, but why turning settings down if not really necessary? I use G-Sync for my other games where my FPS are between 60 and 100, for such FPS numbers, G-Sync is a dream. But no way I am going to configure my P3Dv4.2 as such as that it would reach 60FPS, because if, I could have stick with FS9... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe777 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yes I agree that if you are happy with high graphics settings and 30 fps, that is fine. But I see so many people with the sliders over to the right and getting 15 to 20 fps..... there are videos all over YouTube, and you see their hardware and I get so miffed. P3D is so very scalable, so when I read posts that they "cannot get 30 fps", I just roll over in my box and roll my eyes. I bought a 1080 last month for 600 GBP.... but, I didn't go straight out and "demand" that I should be able to move "all my sliders to the right", and "turn on Dynamic lighting" and "reflections on everything", and THEN moan that I cannot get 60 or 30 FPS or whatever. I was sensible - started with medium settings, and as soon as I dropped below 60 fps for a particular aircraft, I stopped ! Having expensive hardware, gives no-one the 'right' to demand max settings at 60 fps- this goes for all games - I only run the likes of: "Hitman" and "Ghost Recon Wildlands", at High / Very High settings.... I will look forward to Ultra settings in a few years when hardware is 50 to 75% faster than now. As for P3D, I haven't touched Reflections OR Dynamic lighting - I have that to "look forward" to in a couple of years..... and I shall combine that with an increase from 2K to 4K. Think of the future ! That's all I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
