>Why bother, 15FPS is all the human eye can handle.>>Higher FPS is just a waste of CPU power when it could be doing>another task more efficiently.It's a myth, it's not clear how much fps is enough. And please don't compare movies fps with games fps since movies have intraframe motion blur.Jos

Mine runs 15-20fps on average with a 3800 Dual Core AMD, 2 gig memory and a Geforce 7600GT. Most settings on high and running SP1 and SP2 (acceleration) with the 747 in FSX on Vista 32 bit. Graphics are crisp and clear, the sim is pretty fluid. This is ample to fly it and have lots of fun and views along the way.Reider

Vin.............I thank you.I changed from my setting of 25 FPM to "Unlimited" and increased from about 9 to about 17 on the ground before take off. I learn something every day..............regards...........Cliff

Its obviously a dummy question - but where can you read the actual FPS rate ?Karl-Heinz - EDDI/THF " Tempelhof "" The mother of all airports " - Sir Norman Fosterhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

I'm curently investigate this subject.It appears that the FSB works at 266mhz and there is a trick that enable 4 signals for each clock cycle. 266 * 4 = 1066.I done some tests with memory set at 1066 and 566 mhz. There is a gain of 10 fps with 1066mhz. Perhaps may be due to ram timings. frequency is divided by 2 but not memory timing.So, that's becomes a overclock subject.@ Karl : at the upper left cornner ?

FSP varies by what cities I'm in and what weather conditions have been generated, but on average with a high-end system, I'm getting ~30fps with a good amount of bells and whistles enabled.The big boost was when I switched from a Pentium D 945 to a Q6600.More so than upgrading from SLI7800's to SLI8800's.

Dude, fighter pilots have been known up to detect 150 flashes of light per second.Cheers

You are kidding. In the borders of the runway is clear that you have Anti Aliasing active, otherwise you should have jaggies in contours.Andrea

Thanks Pierre (?) - interesting , I have between 10 and 20 with a target of 20 . . .Karl-Heinz - EDDI/THF " Tempelhof "" The mother of all airports " - Sir Norman Fosterhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

>Why bother, 15FPS is all the human eye can handle.Oh my...why bother?Because at only 15FPS the VC is jerky an d control of the jet on the ground can b e problematic with the stutters.
