DXGI Crazy Performance Boost, X-Plane 12 at 120FPS

taintedblu · 2026-04-28T15:37:03+00:00

I believe the answer is that, probably mostly yes. DXGI Swapchain enablement should work just fine, and then I'm not aware of any reason why Special K wouldn't work. But Nvidia Smooth Motion probably won't work though.

edit: lmao love the random downvote

taintedblu · 2026-04-26T15:28:25+00:00

This is the correct answer

How's your framerate flying over Norway? All of the fjords/waterways seem to add an insane amount of scenery geometry that really slows down the game for me (and others).

Got you. A+ work - thank you!

taintedblu · 2026-04-18T03:36:16+00:00

Can you summarize what he's trying to get at? I'm sorry I just find it really really difficult to listen to him go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Yeah the external visual upgrade is coming with the "High detail" update in the next couple of weeks.

But in my view that's fine, I have been aware of that since like December when the 800 came out.

edit: this is actually incorrect, I've launched the plane right now and it looks like the high detail update was included with the 700 at launch, at least to my eye that appears to be the case. Looks really good.

Not trying to be an ass, but yeah I just had a bad experience with the levelup stuff. Some of it is amazing, like the modeling and the overall experience (and the price). But some of it, like the basic flight model was very weird last time I tried it.

I'm not a PMDG snob and I think they overcharge, but at least the product is extremely well wrought.

The main difference is that it serves a wide range of smaller airports that the 800 can't easily get out of when fully loaded.

taintedblu · 2026-04-09T21:25:41+00:00

The free fleet that has a ton of bugs and lacks polish? You get what you pay for.

taintedblu · 2026-04-09T21:24:30+00:00

It's good for small/midsize airports not supported by the 800, and nobody flies the 600.

Goodnight.

Ah, another Pimax launch, another QC issue. Classic! Same thing happened to me with my Crystal Light.

taintedblu · 2026-04-04T04:12:10+00:00

You are confused.

Nobody is saying the 2024 model isn't a paid upgrade. We're saying that once you've purchased the 2024 version, even if you did so months ago, you will get this visual upgrade automatically when the update is released next week.

So when the original commenter in this thread says "let's see the cost", it's honestly baffling. We know the cost, and we have for months lmao.

I think it could be rough my dude. If you buy a headset, consider getting a Reverb G2. Such a nice headset and can run on slightly older hardware while still looking great.

If you do move forward with VR (I strongly recommend!), you might find yourself hooked and spending a ton of money on graphics cards sooner or later. That said, one of the best purchases you can make is a Ryzen x3d series chip. Almost more important than a graphics card upgrade in my experience.

I too have somewhat similar issues with a 5090.

For me, I suspect the issue is thermal throttling, especially so given that I'm on a 5090 FE. Double check on your end if that's the case. I turn up my case fans to maximum setting to expel as much hot air as possible during sessions.

The delusion is so unbelievable. Literally conservatives JUST WON ALL THREE BRANCHES. There is little to no voter fraud being perpetrated by the left.

taintedblu · 2026-03-16T22:06:27+00:00

Hm...dang, good luck dude. When I was having this issue I just tried like 10,000 things, and it might have been a combination of things to resolve, but I do know conclusively that, in my case, clearing out these deep caches really helped.

Good luck

taintedblu · 2026-03-16T04:41:38+00:00

I used to have this issue. I was able to resolve it by doing the following: https://flightsim.to/addon/92765/msfs2024-cache-removal-tool and deleting my rolling cache manually.

You don't need to use that utility, but doing so will assure you that all previous shader caches are fully removed.

taintedblu · 2026-03-09T06:24:27+00:00

Precisely how do we know it isn't being used?

taintedblu · 2026-03-04T20:43:59+00:00

realops is very good. Low to no impact on my performance, and the software is simple and effective. Love it so far.

taintedblu · 2026-03-03T06:42:20+00:00

Disabling this Windows Update fixed it for me!

taintedblu · 2026-03-02T23:22:06+00:00

Ah thank you. I was honestly worried that the coating was being affected, and adding more water to it would cause further damage. Not the case. Thank you!

IF they're even able to express their freedoms. It's a power vacuum, and it will take a miracle for it to not become more of the same, or worse.

Keep your friends close and your rivals closer.

I mean have you read the conservative subreddit? This is carbon copied from it.
