Performance better on FSX or P3Dv4?

[Anshu Giri]

Hi all,

I am just about a buy a license of the a320, so i am seeking advice. On which of the sims is performance better?

I have decent hardware, 8600k @ 4.8, GTX 1070 OCd to 1070, 16gb ddr4 3200.

Thanks

First of all fsx is 32 bit and limited to around 4gb of ram.plus very cpu intensive. P3d v4 is 64 bit which has no memory limitation and better spreading across gpu and cpu. But performance is always system dependent but with p3d v4 you are on a platform that is still in development.

Better performance in P3Dv4 than FSX

I have used the FS Labs A320 on both FSX & P3D without a doubt it is far better on P3D while I got it working ok on FSX the extra features in the 64bit P3D makes it a No Brainer if you have the choice.    You can also get the A319 on P3D which is not available on FSX

p3dv4.4  hands  down much  better

[Stefan Vollstedt]

Yeah its mile away from FSX, performance much better with a lot more details and up to date renderin engine aso.

I also perfer the P3D v4. The 4gb limitation of FSX brings me many CTD's and OOM's. P3D is very stabe and I have a smooth fps.

No brainer 4.4 every time
