Okay. My new system is running now. Just done few test flights with the PMDG747, Ultimate Traffic (100% traffic), Ultimate Terrain, GE Pro, FE, Active sky (with substantial Cumulus), FS Global (100% mesh), UK2000 Gatwick Pro, all settings maxed (anti-aliasing on card set to 2X), resolution 3840x1024 and I get an average of about 16 FPS (goes down to 10 and up to 22) on 26L approach.

I am thinking at that resolution you are severley limited by your GPU.

Yes, that could be but it was a comprimise while waiting for a DX 10 card. Still, it is far better than my old rig.The above load is about the most onerous I could find (maybe EGLL next time). AI seems to do the damage. 100% with Ultmate Traffic is over the top. Everywhere else it runs >25.

Looking at the way things stand I would like to see the following:Some form of standard scenario in Flight Simulator 2004 and Flight Simulator X when available:Core 2 Duo E6400 vs AMD X2 4200+Core 2 Duo E6600 vs AMD X2 5000+I don't think comparing the X6800 Extreme and FX-62 are very 'real world' for 95% of us!Glenn

Just a note here that I was around a month late with my guess for the DX10 hardware.Meet the NVIDIA 8800GTX DX10 card: http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2870&p=1The benchmarks are on page 22 or something silly.
