Are you extracting displays in BMS? please share your experience :)
-
Hi Everyone, I wish to get some information abut display extractions and performance with BMS.
Specifically I would like to know the following:
- What V-Card are u using?
- What is your FPS differences with/without displays extraction
- What is the resolution of your main display(s)?
- What tool are u using to extract the displays (default BMS, MFDE, other?)
And las but not least, if you switched V-Card lately between Nvidia/ATI, can you shed some light on what were the performance difference between the cards in general and if possible specifically regarding the display extraction?
Cheers!

What V-Card are u using?
Main 27" monitor on MSI R7970 Lightning; extra 22" monitor on MSI Z87-G45 gaming motherboard onboard card -
What is your FPS differences with/without displays extraction
Don’t know without, always have it on, can’t do without anymore.
Without vSync I have around 160 above clouds, no TGP.
Bad weather low level heavy activity in the bubble, lots of models, TGP active can bring it back to 85-125-ish. But I always run with vSync on fixed at 60FPS.
Everything is maxed out (except detail level which is on level 2 as higher only eats FPS without visual improvement). -
What is the resolution of your main display(s)?
1920x1080 -
What tool are u using to extract the displays (default BMS, MFDE, other?)
All MFDE so I can run BMS fullscreen non-windowed.
Current setup, see https://www.dropbox.com/s/7em21l9jiq3t975/current-setup.jpg
Building on a pit (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x0rgrohzdpa02vt/AACucgQ76FqpG6swXb6-6qDpa) so planning on using at least 3 more 7" VGA displays and eventually also 2 extra 27" monitors for peripheral view. -

- What V-Card are u using?
Nvidia GTX 580 OCed a bit with 3gb
- What is your FPS differences with/without displays extraction
Ground: with 20 without 30 Air: with 30 without 50 (not very certain, it’s what I recall from memory, ± 5 to 10 fps from what I wrote)
- What is the resolution of your main display(s)?
4480x1200
- What tool are u using to extract the displays (default BMS, MFDE, other?)
default BMS
I use it for 3 tablets feed.

On-Board OE Graphics
No idea of change with/without
1920 x 1280 (main); 1366 x768 (extracted displays)
BMS included MFD extractor.

- What V-Card are u using?
Nvidia GT 780 3Gb
- What is your FPS differences with/without displays extraction
I am not a FPS guy. I base my IQ in my own perception of flight. It must be smooth and fluid. I didn’t notice any bad effect with disp. extr.
- What is the resolution of your main display(s)?
1920x1200 + 1024 x 768
- What tool are u using to extract the displays (default BMS, MFDE, other?)
Gigurra’sfor the MFDs & DED. Why: it’s the only one that will let you ALT TAB without losing sync with BMS, and run full screen. Tested MFDE and BMS extractor.
The rest of gauges; MFDEAnd las but not least, if you switched V-Card lately between Nvidia/ATI, can you shed some light on what were the performance difference between the cards in general and if possible specifically regarding the display extraction?
My last ATI was a 7970. After that switched to nVidia and I don’t think I will switch back to ATI again. Reasons, many:
- for other simulators that I fly nVidia has better IQ (namely, Cliffs of Dover and FSX/Prepar 3d)
- less noise (fans)
Cheers!

What V-Card are u using?
GTX 680 (using latest driver) -
What is your FPS differences with/without displays extraction
With extraction. 80 on ground, 100 in air. This can vary depending on theater. (I’ve turned some shaders off in configuration)
I’ve never run without extraction. -
What is the resolution of your main display(s)?
1920x1080 -
What tool are u using to extract the displays (default BMS, MFDE, other?)
BMS for MFD’s and MFDE for gauges
Always used nVidia

GTX 670 SLI with current drivers. Main resolution at 6610x1080 across 3 23 inch monitors. I’ve used BMS and MFDE extraction as well as MFDE only extraction in stand alone and server/client mode. Using BMS for extracting MFDs works flawlessly but it comes with a higher performance hit than any other MFD extraction method. MFDE in stand alone works, but I have found it is MUCH more stable when used in server/client mode. Running server/client also has the advantage that if the client bugs out and stops working you can reboot that without bothering BMS at all since it is running on a different computer.

Thanx guys for the info, I wanted to know if Nvidia has issues with extracting displays but apparently not. I just replaced my ATI R9 280X with a GTX-780, seems like performance are great with everything maxed and display extracted via default BMS extractor. Thanx!

GTX 580 SLI with current drivers. Main resolution at 2560 x 1600 30 inch monitor for main display and 24 @ 1920 x 1600 for TS and WDP on my main computer, and 19, 19, 14, 8, 8, 7, 7 inch monitors for gauges on my secondary computer. I use MFDE extraction in server/client mode. FPS no different with or without MFDE.

Hi Everyone, I wish to get some information abut display extractions and performance with BMS.
- What V-Card are u using?
GTX 670 FTW 2GB is my main card, but I extract on a external video card adapter, which doesn’t hurt my FPS. I use something like this http://www.iogear.com/product/GUC2020DW6/
- What is your FPS differences with/without displays extraction
With extraction on I get 30-40 on the ground and 50+ in the air. Haven’t tested it without the extraction on
- What is the resolution of your main display(s)?
Main monitor is a 40" LED Samsung and the monitor I extract to is a 26" westinghouse with a res of 1920x1200, but I use 1920x1080 because I mirror a 24" LG monitor with the 26" one.
- What tool are u using to extract the displays (default BMS, MFDE, other?)
I use both BMS default for MFD’s, DED and RWR and I use MFDE for a bunch of other gauges.
