January 15, 200818 yr I just experienced an unintentional but very interesting demonstration of the CPU AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D / MSI X870 Tomahawk Mobo / 64 GB DDR5 memory / RTX 4070 Super with 12 GB VRAM / AORUS FO48U 4k display NVMe for Drive C, an NVMe device dedicated to Flight Sim 2024 and a separate NVMe device for Flight Sim 2020 and an NVMe dedicated to 500GB of addons managed by AddonsLinker / 1 GB Comcast Xfinity Internet connection / HP Reverb G2 / Tobii 5 Head & Eye Tracking
January 15, 200818 yr I have a eVGA8800GTS 640MB card and a Q6600 G0 stepping CPU.I've overclocked the CPU to 3.2GHZ and in the past had overclocked the8800 by 32%. I saw the same "no difference" effect that you observed,running FSX SP2 on WinXP. Overclocking the 8800 video card did not improve performance at all.In fact I believe I experienced some instability from time to timewhen running the 8800 overclocked so now I don't bother to run theRivaTuner overclocking profile at all.

January 15, 200818 yr You have found what a lot of us have found. I did some testing, overclocked my 7800GT, and it made no difference at all with FSX performance on my machine.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
January 16, 200818 yr I got quite a boost by upgrading from a 8800GTS 320Mb factory overclocked, to the EVGA Ultra 8800 superoverclocked. I made this post at the time:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchUntil I reminded myself about that post, I had forgotten how (relatively) slow the 8800GTS was. In fact, relying just on my memory, I recently told someone else on a forum that the increase was only 1-5FPS in dense areas. Looking back on it, the increase was rather better than that.Of course, maybe there was something odd about my setup which produced this difference.Tim 14900ks, RTX4090, 64Gb@6000-30-36-36-T2, Samsung 990Pro 2Tb , Dell G3223Q 32" 4k Gsync + 27" secondary monitor.
