Skymaxx pro 4.0.1 + xp 11 beta 11 sudden fps cut in half?

[theskyisthelimit99]

I'm not sure what might be going on here, aside from the fact i updated to the latest nvidia driver recently.. but a week ago I had everything smooth as butter even in overcast situations.. kbos, mostly cloudy + skymaxx at 3/4 distance slider was a solid 38+ fps in a cessna.. now today returning to the sim its at 20.. i didnt update xp either.

My rig is a 1080 ftw hybrid + i7 6700k at 4.6 and 3200 mhz ram.. 

 

Any thoughts out there?

Thanks

 rolled back to dec 372.70 and with current weather in kbos, i now seem to be at around 30-35 fps.. an improvement.. i'm not sure if this it the nvidia driver i was using previously or not (35 current weather and 31ish overcast)

Personally I haven't seen any hit (or improvement) with beta 11 or 12. But if the beta versions of X-Plane and your driver versions are changing, and SMP is not, I think I'd first point the finger of blame at one of them for performance changes. The weather conditions that happen to be in place when you fly can cause a lot of variation in performance as well.

Your system is pretty much identical to mine, by the way - but I'm not overclocking. I've always encountered weird stability problems when doing so.
