Hi folks. I am new to Trainz Simulator 12 and am quite excited about operating the trains as well as hopefully jumping into route building.
I have to admit, I am a bit disappointed, not with the software but with the poor performance of my computer to run this application smoothly. When I try to play, the display lags miserably, very jumpy, not at all fluid. AS it is, it's not very entertaining, rather more frustrating. I'm hoping someone might be able to provide some tips on improving performance considering my system, or tell me that my expectations are higher than what is capable. I am able to run FSX, DX10, in windowed mode quite well with a locked 30FPS with this system.
My System:
Processor
3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-2600K, 256 kilobyte primary memory cache, 1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache, 8192 kilobyte tertiary memory cache, 64-bit ready, Multi-core (4 total), Hyper-threaded (8 total)

Does anyone use Nvidia Inspector to help optimize performace? If so, what are some suggested profiles?
