FSX Poor FPS

[cmteviniciusaugusto]

Hello guys... i'm with a problem in FSX. The FPS is between 7 an 9. In some aircraft (Carenado ATR72) it's just 3 FPS. But i have 1TB HD, AMD 8300, 16 GB RAM and Nvidea GTX 1050 TI. I don't know what is happening. Please someone help me

Try reading some of the hundreds of tweak and performance guides available all over the internet. And at some of the more popular freeware forums etc. Here are just two of hundreds:

I also had this issue with Carenado dlc. It only happens with specific aircraft and not others. It was the fault of either a ‘reg entry’ gone wrong with the installer or something tied through fsupic.
The Carenado installers are a bit more complicated than they should be in my opinion.
Never got to the bottom of it. So I emailed Carenado and asked for support through their own website.
Few days later they offered a refund or another aircraft for free.

I asked for a different aircraft instead and have had no issues for a few years now. Very good customer service.

You have a super machine there -- but it doesn't matter. FSX is a 14 year old, 32-bit program (will only use 4 GB of RAM) and graphics are CPU based (not processed by your Nvidia).

Further, the fancy, dressed up third party addon planes eat up a lot of RAM and processing time in the CPU, slowing down the rest of the program. You'll have to back off your options sliders (textures, auto gens, traffic, weather, scenery, etc.) to find the sweet spot for smooth fps.

Yes, but the problem is getting worse, I didn't have a good PC but the FPS were better

Your clarification was very good, it helped me a lot. I thought it was some problem with my PC. However I am also having the same problem with the PMDG 737 NG

Thanks for the clarification. Too bad the FSX has so many limitations. I'm reinstalling the program to see if it improves because even if I put all the graphical options at low, the FPS is still low, they are only 10 FPS
