February 20, 200719 yr The better of the two is the ATI cardMight not be that huge boost you're looking for though....your processor is showing its age relative to running FSX... | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
February 20, 200719 yr I agree with Ryan, it's you CPU that's the problem for FSX.The rules of thumb I always use for Flight Sim is:CPU to increase FPSRAM to increase responsiveness (upto a point)GPU to increase image quality (AA & AF) and run at a higher resolution. GPU does little for FPS unless you are bogged down AA'ing clouds or something similar.However, out of those two cards, the X1950 is a clear winner. It benchmarks slightly better than a 7950GT so it's a clear step up from a 7900GS.Glenn Glenn Ryzen 3700X, X570 Pro Wifi, 32GB 3600mhz RAM, Nvidia Titan Xp "Galactic Empire", RM750x PSU, H700 case, 2x NVMe M2 SSD, 1x SATA SSD
February 20, 200719 yr Author Thank you both:Perhaps it better to wait a bit , and upgrade the CPU or the PC all together, better then just keep paying and not have the best Tech out there.Walouigi http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk/forum_images/fdc_beta.jpg]http://www.pic767flyingclub.com/siggies/lsd1.jpg[/img://http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk/...s/lsd1.jpg[/img
