February 3, 201115 yr Hi, After reading some posts on the flightsim forum I downlodad the GPU-Z to see how my GTX 260 is used in FSX. I only took a default test flight from Friday Habour to another little airport near by with the trike. Than I checked the usage of my GPU and was shocked. All clocks were running on full load and the GPU got over 50°C hot. So I think it´s time for a change, maybe a GTX 560TI?Do you guys encounter anything similar in GPU load or is it just because of the "old" GTX 260 GPU? Best regards, Steffen Fight time: NGX 737-700: 37,0h; -800: 47,2h
February 3, 201115 yr Commercial Member Certainly can be the case here, depends on the scene. If it overcast in Seattle, I can easily get 90-100% on the GPU and the CPU starts to tank on core 0 (the main simulator thread) along with the FPS. Do you see that too? The only remedy is to reduce clouds, window size, anti-aliasing etc. Or buy a better card than my GTX470. www.supertrafficboard.com
