February 1, 201115 yr Hello All,So I have a Q9550 overclocked to 3.7, 4gigs ram and a GTX260 card on win64. After seeing the reviews decided to get a GTX570. After following the driver removal instructions on Nvidia's web site I removed the drivers swapped cards and installed the new drivers.With the GTX570 installed the benchmarks showed double the power of the older GTX260. So eager to see what FSX could do now I loaded it up. And if I had not put the card in my self I would not have believed it was changed. Really not (1) FPS more, and not the least bit smoother. How is it possible that the card could show such improvements in 3 different benchmarks but absolutely nothing for FSX? Has anyone else experienced this when changing there card. When I went from a GTS8800 to a GTX260 I noticed a big increase in smoothness, not a big FPS increase but smoother.I just don't see the difference here I was expecting from other reviewers.Regards,Ken ----Sorry this is a duplicate post please delete--- Flight Simulator's - Prepar3d V5/MSFS | Operating System - WIN 11 | Main Board - GIGABYTE X870E Aorus Elite WIFI7 | CPU - AMD 9800X3D | RAM - CORSAIR 64GB 6600Mhz | Video Card - EVGA RTX3090 FTW3 Ultra | Monitor - DELL 38" Ultrawide | Case - CORSAIR 750D Full Tower | CPU Cooling - CORSAIR H170i Elite LCD 420mm Push/Pull | Power Supply - EVGA 1000 G+ | Sound System - Definitive Technology ProMonitor 600 w/subwoofer

February 2, 201115 yr I think that fsx is mostly CPU dependent. If you have a weak graphics card, that will bottleneck you but you mainly need a strong CPU to see any results. Alfredo Terrero
February 2, 201115 yr GTX 260 to a GTX 460. Noticable difference with fsx here. That's odd... ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

February 2, 201115 yr Did you delete the fsx.cfg and allow FSX to recreate it? Corey Meeks FS2020 | AMD 7800X3D | ASUS ProArt 4080 Super | ASUS B650E-I Mini ITX | 2x32Gb DDR5-6000 CL32 | DELL 38" U3818DW (3840x1600) | FormD T1 | Thermalright AXP90-47 | Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 1000W
