May 25, 200818 yr Trying to improve fps in FSX. I have already upgraded the graphics card from the Nvidia Geforce 6200 to the Nvidia Geforce 8600Gt (256mb). What to do next is the question. I understand FSX is very dependant on the CPU. Should the next step be to upgrade this and with what? Any help will be much appreciatedWindows XPIntel®Pentium®4cpu 3.06ghzNvidia Geforce 8600 GT (256mb)2.00gb.ram
May 26, 200818 yr Take a look here, lots of sample setups and fps rated.http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-gp...de,1928-10.htmlIf you can exchange the 8600GT for a 8800GT 512 or the new 9600GT, you'll get better performance, add a e8450 CPu and your set.

May 26, 200818 yr Yes, a CPU upgrade will be of most benefit to you next. An E8500 and a motherboard to suit will give you a good performance boost in FSX over your P4.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
May 26, 200818 yr e8450 s/b e8400 typo.Looking at Toms charts it seems CPU matters but only with a certain level of video card.In many cases in his benchmarks slower CPUs outperform faster ones, so a good match is best, at least according to Tom.
