until recently, I was never really happy with performance in fsx and was planning a major upgrade (probably 480gtx, ssd and i7-something). my rig is E8600 @ 4,1 8800GTX, 4 gb ddr3, vista 64, trackir4 and 42"lcd, logitech g940 and fsforce.For a long time i used dx10, and didnt realize that the utx/orbx streetlight blinking was mainly a dx10 problem. Before the BP=0 (and all the other) tweak, my problem was mainly fps with dense AG and Clouds. then stutters and spikes appeared as my gfxcard was struggling, and i used the external limiter together with enb bloom and nhancer. Could never run with ag maxed, and clouds had a huge impact. But I did see what both the cpu and the gfx card could do, just didnt manage to balance it. Also didnt manage to get rid of some spikes while panningAfter adding the shader 3.0 mod, and fftf=0 and going back to internal limiter (locked at 20), i am now able to run with max autogen, and max distance and density on clouds (still havent noticed the major perf.hit from clouds after shader3.0) going low and slow is wonderful (ex darrington/pnw in a2a cub) with ase (but not maxed on number of cloudlayers in ase) and mytraffic around 30 and car traffic on 15.Flying wilco 737 enzv-engm (with utx and gex europe) i notice that the scenery loading almost keeps up on approach keeping 240 kts at 3000 ft for some 15-20 miles. but once i lower the speed the scenery catches up. Have had several flights with no blurries at all. sometimes AG falls behind a little but then catches up again.not sure if I can see any iq difference on the clouds with shader 3.0, but it looks so much better with enb bloom with max distance and density on clouds. I do notice water reflections are more sparkling. My impression is that the shader 3.0 actually has an performance impact also on nvidia, but it could be just placebo...Read recently someone here said fftf=0 doesnt work with c2d, but for me it probably does. Tried btw to use AM to run fsx on second core (as bojote says the fiber thread will remain on first core), but that wasnt any success :)lot of details in this post, but what i'm trying to say is that thanks to Bojotes great work!!, combining all these tweaks I now get a lot more out of my current hardware (far beyond my expectations actually). Think my major hw upgrade can wait a little longer..arne jonasen

How can you use wilco's 737? I get constant FT734.dll errors BEX errors .. most instable plane of all

The Wilco 737 works fine with me, too. Maybe you didn't get an update, or your original install was corrupt?

that thanks to Bojotes great work!!

AND Word Not Allowed ;) FFTF=0 is Word Not Allowed's brainchild....

Nah it crashes on 3 different installs, on 2 different systems..regardless of OS.Waiting for PMDG 737NG

Hahahah :( Thanks *******!
