TheAirbusFreak320 1 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hello! Maybe someone can help me but I think this is hopeless. I bought prepar3d some days ago and did a flight with the airbus x extended 320/321. It was a flight with default scenery from LFPG to LSGG. My fsx runs perfectly smooth and good but prepar3d jumps the hole time from 40 to 5 fps. It also gives me OOM's when I am trying to land. My settings are not to high. My specs are: - Intel core i5-4200m @2.50GHz - Windows 8 64-bit - 8GB of ram - Nvidia GTX 760m Also for one reason or another my graphics card is not listed in prepar3d and i can only see the integrated graphic intel 4600 HD Hope someone can help me, give me advise...

DetCord 1539 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 It's a mobile GPU so what did you expect? Your CPU is awfully slow as well. I'd suggest switching to a desktop to be perfectly honest. Hell, my CPU is a i7-3930k which is overclocked to 4.8Ghz and a GTX 780Ti and I still average 15-25 FPS in FSX and P3D in certain areas.

TheAirbusFreak320 1 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yes I know my system isn't the best but with fsx I had higher fps with my settings on max in fsx. In prepar3d i can still not achieve that same fps as in fsx with my settings on med. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted October 1, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted October 1, 2014 But med settings in P3d are high settings in FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAirbusFreak320 1 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hello everyone I contacted the guys at Prepar3d and they said I should force prepar3d to use the nvidia gpu. The only thing is... I don't know how. They also told me to set the am to 5 and to disable hypertreading. The only problem is, how can I do these things, I have no idea of it... Thanks for your help in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb 139 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 1. Hyperthreading is disabled in the BIOS. There's a certain key to be pressed just after booting the PC (in my case F2, but this may differ, on my Lenovo Notebook there is a Special Thinkvantage key for that purpose). Then check through the options and set hyperthreading to disabled. Don't expect wonders but I get a few more fps when HT is off, too. 2. Selection of graphics adapter is done in the BIOS, too. Usually, there's an entry for, e.g., enabling/disabling the internal adapter. Disable the internal adapter. (Needless to say the external adapter must be properly installed.) After rebooting make sure under Control Panel|Device Manager the GTX 760m is listed. Afterwards, either Windows update should install the proper NVIDIA Drivers or you install it manually from http://www.nvidia.com/. I'd suggest choosing autodetect graphics adapter. After installing the driver, check the Nvidia Control Panel (r.h.s. mouse button on the desktop) if all went okay and it is identified. Now you should be able to select the Nvidia Adapter in Prepart3d. I would not expect wonders here, too, but an internal Intel Graphics Adapter is certainly not fit for running Prepar3d well. BTW, FSX should benefit from both changes, too. Kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
