The device driver also supports AMD TrueAudio, a SIP block to do sound related calculations.ĪMD Radeon Software supports the following AMD (and ATI-tradition) product lines targeted at rendering: Besides IC targeted at rendering, this includes display controllers as well as their SIP blocks to do video decoding, Unified Video Decoder (UVD) and video encoding Video Coding Engine (VCE). AMD Catalyst Control Center uses Qt as part of its toolchain.ĪMD Radeon Software is targeted to support all function blocks present on a GPU's or APU's die. Radeon Settings replaced the old AMD Catalyst Control Center. 3.4.1 Heterogeneous System Architecture.A 3770 at 4.6 and a 7970 would be the ultimate I think. Those newer cards would take it on no prob I would imagine. Monitoring the card GPU usage it climbed considerably with more clouds and that AA setting. ROFLMAO.ĮDIT - I just tried 12X (Edge Detect Super Sample) and it dropped me from high 20's to low 20's while flightseeing around Portland ORBX Downtown area and landing KTTD. KSEA with the default with the Cold Fronts weather theme in the JS41 on an i7 3770 4.6 with an overclocked GTX680 getting in the low 20's. I have witnessed the carnage on more powerful systems than my own. I'll give 12x Super Sample a try but this is asking for trouble trying to do an approach into ORBX KSFF or KSEA with some cloudy weather.
That works fine on clear days but start to feel it over Portland in overcast weather. Why such low AA Samples? Why not use 8x or edge-detect (12x, 24x)? If I had that stuff I would test it for you. Get a GTX680 Super Clock or Factory overclocked ATI 7970? Get water cooling and take the CPU to 5Ghz? Don't know. AA must be off in FSX but Ansio must be on.Īs for your situation at that airport in that plane. Surface Format Optimization must be off to remove shimmer.Ĥ. Unlimited fps setting in cloud causes stutter. I have about 10 ORBX airports in the NA regions and heaviest airport I own is KFSS from ORBX.ġ. I have all of ORBX regions except for England and Wales. It is by most account pretty close to the NGX in load.
OK well the JS41 is the heaviest plane I have. Intel i7 2600K 4.2 Ghz, 8GB Kingston HyperX RAM, HIS 6950 2GB, 256GB SSD drive, 27" Viewsonic screen, Win7 64, Saitek Cessna Yoke Pedals and TPM. Wish I could compare unfortunately I don't have the same add on as you. I think the PMDG JS-41 + default Orbx CYVR hardly a 'frame killer' compare to my combinations of UK2000 EGLL + PMDG737. I've tried allot of others to get same or degraded experience overall. This seems the best and cleanest from testing. Wait for Vertical Refresh OFF, unless application specifiesĪdd these. Surface Format Optimization Off Or you will get shimmering bad (critical setting) Method = Super Sampling or you will get hard to read gauges (enabling AA in game produces stutters when SSAA is enabled in driver) I can go higher on autogen with the 7950 as well.ĭo NOT check Anti-aliasing. With the settings listed, I get no tearing, blurring, stutter or otherwise. With my 6950 I get fantastically smooth experience locked at 30 with Scenery Complexity set to Very high and Autogen to Dense. These are MUST HAVE settings I would like to point out. On that note, occasionally I see posts from people not having the same luck and thought I would chime in on the best settings I have found for ATI in FSX after a few years experience. In both cases I am getting glass smooth framerates locked at 30 in ORBX scenery. The last few nights I have been using FSX on another computer with a new 3GB 7950 from HIS. Long time nVidia user here but I have been using ATI for a few years now and currently own a factory overclocked 2GB 6950 from HIS with great results.
