What is the average FPS I should be getting?

Would you have any good guides that you know of?

I can't agree more with all of this O/C talk. I was a bit wary at first, but bought a cheap sealed water coolling CPU cooler, and used the built-in ASUS O/C tweker utility which keeps going higher and higher until it finds a stable O/C, then I tweaked a bit more and ran the aforementioned testing suites to make sure; I O/Ced my GTX580 using MSI Afterburner, then I used *******' awesome FSX.cfg tweaking util on his website, and I now get a steady 60fps everywhere except bulit-up areas and ORBX airports where I get between 18-45fps depending on my slider settings etc.O/C. You won't regret it. Having said all of that I've just had my new 2600K delivered, which should get me running like those videos of *******' on Youtube =)
