Determining the bottleneck in X-Plane 12

[@chopperskier]

Your explanations are clear, concise, and clear of drama/opinions. Very factual, thank you! Keep em coming! (lord knows I need help getting this sim to run optimally!)

[@jcommtube]

Always learning, in as easy as possible way, with your videos and tutorials! Thank you Michael!

[@spinb]

Thanks. That is indeed a simple method.

[@adrianwilliams763]

Thanks Michael. That’s really helpful. Appreciate your efforts

[@wilga80]

Very well explained. Thank you.

[@CyberSystemOverload]

Thanks Michael, clear concise instructions as always. Really enjoy your videos. Will you be doing a video on good gaming laptops that will give good performance for XP12?

[@barrysheridan9186]

Good, thank you.

[@confuseddad2865]

Xplane is the bottleneck :)

[@TomKnudsen]

Anistrophic filtrering DO require a game restart to work or have an impact on sim. Even say so on the description

[@blindlygoing]

This is great thank you. So should you be trying to balance this so the load on cpu anf gpu is shared?

[@flightgamer7849]

Thanks. I found out that my CPU and GPU are both equally weak for the task. Oh well. Larger upgrade incoming.

Hi from Canada Michael. Im just getting set up for xplane 12. Not for a graphics experience so much but for flight training. Planning to use 2 touchscreens with air manger for instruments and 1-3 screens with 32inch 1080p. What would you recommend for a computer setup? Im guessing the minimum recommendations wont be enough. Thanks. Ben

What do the two numbers f-act and f-sim relate to Michael?

[@panthros7395]

It would be helpful to understand the CPU and GPU in the computer you are showing benchmarks from. Are you able to share?

[@RaspySquares]

I've yet to be able to get this sim to run above 20k ft on all setting on minimum, in any airplane. lowest res possible, like 720 lol. Still stutters like a time bomb.

Hey Michael, both my 9900k and RTX 4070 are not being utilised 100%, GPU is at 50% and processor at 10ish %, any idea?

[@and696]

I tought the left part of the GRAPHIC SETTING was more related to the CPU

[@xforcepc]

No, those are GPU. Antialiasing, etc are all GPU functions.

[@jetPower1960]

How can I lower the CPU, which controllers would that be? That’s my bottleneck CPU.

[@xforcepc]

As a general rule, those are the sliders on the right side of the graphics options.

[@jetPower1960]

Thank you@@xforcepc

To summarize, buy an AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d paired with a RTX 4090.
