Other programs were fine and the temps were normal!Heres where I am at now. I reformated and installed Windows 7 and Flight simulator. The performence its identical to how it was under XP with the low fps. However, if I switch to DX10 preview mode the game is smooth and will sit right around 23-30 fps. Thoughts?

I maxed out the sliders TNCM with dx10 and the game was playable.

PRoblem was GPU physics enabled on the card.Thanks for everyones help :-)

OK I give up where is the setting for GPU physics ??

Nvida control panel.

I can't friggan believe this the problem is back. I changed nothing.

Ok. I am starting to think its hardware. I played Call of Duty 4 in Mac OS and got like 0 FPS.Heres my question though why to flight sim appear fixed for like 2 or 3 flights?

Are you running boot camp on a mac? If so, how do you get to the video driver settings? I can't find it on mine. Im running a 24'' iMac. I know I need to upgrade to a better "gaming" system, but its all I have now.Thanks,Blake

While in Mac OS. Click the Apple symbol on type and go to About this mac. Then click like more info and it will bring you to system profiler and graphics card is an option.

Oh, ok - I didn't know I had to be back in the MAC OS to tweak the video card. How is the performance on your mac?

You can't 'tweak' any graphic options, other than resolution and colour depth, inside the iMac.

I also don't get a DX10 preview option on my iMac - does anyone know why? I have SP2 installed and acceleration. Thanks,Blake

Probably because the graphics card's (8800 GS or 9400?) drivers don't offer DX10 support. If you want my opinion, forget trying to run FSX on your iMac, unless of course you want to run it at its minimum settings with no add-ons. It just doesn't have the grunt.I use a 24" 3.0ghz iMac for everyday work with XP installed but running under VM Parallels. That way I can run both OS's at the time, dragging and dropping from OS X to XP. I use this iMac as a client for my main FS rig - [email protected], 4GB RAM, 8800GTX and a 24" BenQ; getting a bit long in the tooth I know but when I have the necessary readies i'll upgrade. It suffices and will run all add-ons happily.Right now, I'm typing this in Firefox on the Mac. Thunderbird is also open. XP is running with ASA, WideFS, FS Commander, FS Flightkeeper and Dreamweaver MX all open. On the FS PC I'm currently in the CS757 with FS Passengers, flying across China - http://www.ukdirectva.co.uk/FlightService/Index.phpThey all co-exist in harmony beautifully :)
