January 1, 200719 yr Hello all.Previously, I had been running on a P4 2.8 Ghz (800 MHz FSB) with 1 GB PC3200 and an ATI Radeon 9550SE. With no autogen, I had vey low settings (lowest quality terrain, no traffic, water high 1.x, but textures at 1m with 4x AA and 4x AF to achieve 20fps sometimes, usually around 15-16, always very stutter-y, etc.Yesterday, I installed an x1650Pro 512 MB. FSX looks STUNNING now, and is smooth.Locked at 24 fps (and very smooth all around):Still no autogen (don't like it anymore).Bloom ON (I'll never go back)Terrain 3xm, 80%, medium high cloud density with 70 mi draw, water low 2.x, Scenery Complexity Dense.It's LOCKED at 24. It only drops lower on missions (particularly the Tokyo Helicopter one) and around many scenery objects (near downtown areas). I'm thrilled. It's fantastic.I only add freeware planes, and I don't need tons of traffic (haven't tried turning it on yet). For someone like me, it's great.At any rate, it's beautiful. Hope this sheds some light on something, though I'm not sure what. I will not proofread this post.
