:sad for some unknown reason i lag horribly on the X3AP Rebalance mod and i was wondering if anybody had similar problems and found any reliable solutions. No it is not because of the lack of hardware.
System Specs:
Windows 7
Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard
8-Core Processor
32 GB of ram
Vapor-X 6GB Video card
1.2 TB SSD/HDD Hybrid

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.

hmm.. well X3AP is a single-core game - so it doesnt benefit from more cores. However, saying that surely your CPU is powerful enough? although you didnt tell me what it was, nor the clock-speed 
have you got any virus-scanners enabled? as these can cause some serious extra load for your CPU.
What percentage does you system sit idle at? It should be very low, like 0-1%

Except for the official bonus package I do not use mods myself. Have you checked that it is your system, not the mod? If you disable the Rebalance mod, does the game work perfectly fine then?

It was only a noticeable change after I did an AMD driver update. Going back to the old driver did not fix the problem but I read that a number of people have had the same problem with updating the ATI graphics drivers for their video cards. I was wondering if there was any other solution then to just roll back the drivers on my operating system?

did you try what flash said; try the game without the mod? ie. check to see if the mod was causing slow-downs?
also, what was your cpu?

FX-8150 3.6ghz 8-core and ill givei t a shot and post my results shortly on if the lag persists

The game works perfectly smooth without the mod yes

It could be something coded into the mod that affects the graphics in game, this would then maybe clash with your updated graphics thus causing the lag. I know it seems weird but that did happen to me in Skyrim as well.

Most likely it is the engine trails. That is one of the single largest performance killers in the mod. Make sure you turn down SETA to 6x or less as well. Allowing enemy ships to use MARS really hurts the game also so disable that if you enabled it.

Well even standing still watching a ring circle a station i can see the lag and skips. Also when i try to scroll through the stocks lists it lags horribly were i get maybe 1 frame every 2-3 seconds or worse. Turning my ship creates extremely noticeable lag also. Dunno if the engine trails will effect things like this.

sounds a bit bad if the mod is causing the game to slow-down. The best thing to do is to ask the actual people who made the mod: X3 Rebalance Mod.

Imo either you installed XRM in a wrong way, or its some driver fault, for instance i have sh***ty pc from 2006 (some hardware updated at generation 2008), weird thing is i have better fps with XRM than vanilla lol.

From X3AP the multi core processor's are supported btw, X3R had bottleneck at Single Core cpu's.

XRM uses far less processor power than vanilla because a lot of the performance hogging effects of vanilla have been removed/replaced. Nebulae, for instance, are much thinner in the XRM, and entering a nebulous sector is a far smaller performance hit than in the vanilla game.
@XeNoN: I didn't know AP supported multi-core processors, that's another reason for me to finally give it a shot

Just to be sure check egosoft's forum's im pretty sure i've read somewhere there that X3Tc and AP support multicore cpu's.

RE: Above. Concensus on Ego's forums indicates that you can get a small boost because other cores will handle whatever else is going on in your machine ..... leaving X to run on a single core. There is probably more tech. info. available if you can be bothered looking it up, but I thought that's one of the reasons that Rebirth has taken so long to arrive as it needed a new multi-thread capable engine.

It is possible that its the drivers fault. I think i mentioned before that it worked more or less well enough before this new GPU update that came out this month... but ever since then even if i roll back my drivers to previous versions the lag wont go away
