Settings for upgraded Railworks

[gege21]

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure the / isn't needed but tried it any way - still made no difference. Command line seems ineffective now but it did work.

Oh ! Very strange because by me it works well ! Perhaps have you forget to left a space between / and -FPSLimit ? I don't know if the syntax must be the exactly script or not !

As Parronut say is it overrided by V-sync setting ?

Now sorry I can't tell you better help for this particular problem !

Someone with more experience will help you better...!

Good luck for solving this issue !

Friendly best wishes

Well, oddly enough "/ -FPSLimit=30" does seem to work for me.

I've never come across slash-space-dash as an command line switch format before, but it seems to do the trick for RW3 at the moment.

Thanks!

I have a problem with TSX, when i get into the game i see like this:






i get 14 fps on the lowest resolution, but i can move, go into train and it works fine for what i need (just to test something,
when creating things for RW 3 - lights and rain on the models )

my notebook:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz (2 CPUs)
Hard Drive Space: Loads 100Gb+
RAM: 3GB
Operating System: XP - 32bit
Graphics Card name: ATI Mobility Radeon X1350

i read on other forum, that they have same graphics card with lowest CPU and RAM and it's work it.
I was thinking, that can be problem in windows, mybee i need windos 7?
Anyone can help me i will be grateful.

Afternoon everyone,

Apologies if this is in the wrong place - moderators please feel free to move it ,

I've been offered (for £220) the following:-
AMD Phenom II x6 1045T processor
ASUS M4A78 PRO AMD 780G Socket motherboard with Radeon 3200 HD graphics.
7.1 sound card


Will this run TSX suitably well (not worried about sparkling performance!).

Very Best Wishes,
Bob.

I think i finally found the sweet spot for my system waste of time sharing my setup - i doubt there are many running RW3 on an iMac .I did want to share my annoyance at the 8X antisoptric (i think thats what its called) being so essential. Looks so darn ugly with it any lower than max. Also one notch of antialiasing seems to be almost as essential.
Happy with railworks again - time to go try out some of those scenario challenges

Nope, I have a 27inch iMac with a 2.66Ghz i5 and 8GB of Ram with a Radeon HD4850 running Win 7 under BootCamp.

I would really welcome your, and others', recommendations.
Thanks,

Richard

At a rough estimate: adequate processor, but look to Ebay a graphics card (~£50-100?) for it. The 3200 appears pretty woeful.

Check first that it's got a reasonable power supply (say 500W minimum?) to allow for adding beefier graphics.

hi, ...
With such a pickle of computers they can not play with activated TSX.
You have to have a low Coast classic GPU (2006 rel.)
Letters can be written so certainly.

Evening lads and lasses,

Further to my earlier posts regarding equipment, I've now been offered the following system, sans graphic card, and I'd dearly like to know whether it might suffice (with suitable upgrades).

As it stands, it's an AMD Phenom II Quad Core 2.8gb, which currently has 4gb of RAM, and a 500gb HD.
Unfortunately, that's all I know so far. The RAM, and HD could obviously be upped, if the Phenom would be worth it.

Vey Best Wishes,
Bob.

I'm becoming sceptical of "what is an ideal system". I now have a much better system than my prior 6-years-old PC but I still cannot get a good render on overhead wires if using SSAA (the overhead wires are so broken and flickering that it detracts totally from the game), whereas although I get smoothly rendered wires with the lower MSAA setting, the scenery, bridges, trees etc are much lower quality. Framerate-wise, my nVidia GTX 580 3Gb card performed no better than an nVidia GTX 550 (my framerate readings were the same as those reported by gptech in thread http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 1&t=124059. The ONLY improvement I'm seeing with my new system is that the frames are smoother, but the rendering quality is still poor (for me) and I'm disappointed - especially as the AA and anisotropic choices in nVidia's control panel seem to be being ignored.

My specs:
Intel i7 Sandybridge-E 3820 overclocked to 4GHz
16 Gb quad-channel DDRAM
6Gb/s SSD hard disk
nVidia GTX 580 with 3Gb RAM

...and whilst performance is no longer jerky, it renders no better than my very old dual-core rig for electrified routes.

[BadWhippet]

A late addendum.... THIS is what I get with SSAA 2x2. The lines flicker badly enough that I revert to MSAA (but then the scenery is much poorer in rendering quality):

Hi Guys,

I did post this under my thread in the screen shot area although im now thinking that was the wrong place, been a long time since i have been on the forums.

Question is have just built myself a resonabley high spec new PC (see sig for spec) which i am running railworks on however i am still only getting around 17fps at on the Just Trains Scottish East Coast at haymarket past the stadium most other places all runs fun and in the high 40s-50fps. Any help on settings would be great.

The only thing i recycled from my old machine were the graphics cards and now wondering if this was a mistake due to the FPS problems.

The below image is what the game looks like, which i am pretty pleased with, however the sluggish FPS around haymarket i am not please with.



Any help would be really grateful.

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Step 1: run nVidia Inspector, and look at the graph to see whether your graphics card is hitting 100% GPU usage at the points where your FPS is dropping. Since it only does it in object-heavy areas, I'm going to guess it isn't, meaning that you're CPU-limited.

Step 2: have a look at http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 7#p1467459 and start turning down the CPU-related options (assuming that it is the CPU which is limiting things).

Note in general that shadows and the new TS2012 lights seem to be reckoned to hit frame rate particularly hard - the third step would be to edit [a copy of] the route and take out some objects in the affected area.

HTH!

Hi,

Many thanks for the great reply Its great to see the forum is still as helpful as i remember, i would hope to think it isnt the CPU limiting things however if it is be great to get it resolved and i shall look into the options provided.

Thanks again for your help.

I've got an i5 2500k at 4.5ghz
8GB Ram
560ti 2gb.

Yet Railworks doesn't seem to perform that well. On the Scottish ECML I get around 15-20 FPS, but upping to 40 in places. However the GPU usage isn't above 70%. Surely it can't be my CPU as i'm running the most recommended CPU for gaming, overclocked to 4.5ghz.

Not running the anti-aliasing high, not sure of the setting but its about midway on the slider.

Seems a bit odd!
Any advice?

Hi, Screen res makes the biggest difference to my setup, - If I run at native resolution (1920x1080) I have to have everything turned down to low or off & still jerky but if I run at 1280x720 I can pretty much run at max settings with mid 20s frame rates even on WCML north with FXAA except at the busy bits where it's a slide show - I could turn the settings down, but won't.
