HiI just got a new computer and went to load up my PMDG products it comes up not on data base.as my old computer never did run the PMDG aircraft was too old.tried to log into PMDG support it comes up not on data base.What can i do next.

I think PMDG's impending release of the NGX is probably causing a mini-spending spree on new PC's around the world! Just hope I'm in that spree! :( David

Indeed it did. I just spent $4000 on a new computer just for the 737NGX. I hope my i7 990X and n-vidia 590 video card is not obsolete by the time the 737 is finally released! (not a dig - I am enjoying the PDMG 747 too much). It (new computer) is already 1 month old and I know something will be released toimorrow that'll blow it away. But I think I finally have enough horse power to run the New NGX. The PDMG 747 runs soooo smooth on it.

Paul, I know you probably won't want to hear this but you should have asked before spending a crazy amount like $4000... you could have bought a system that will run it just as well for half that (prebuilt) or less (self-built). The 590 has no effect in FSX because it's a dual GPU card - a single 580 will be faster. The $220 i5 2500K CPU will perform just as well as the 990X in FSX too.

Glad to hear that, since I just bought myself a i7 2600K based machine. There's one thing I'd to ask you. I had trouble to see if 8GB DDR3 was going to be worth it, specially for gaming and FSX. Everybody told me it's a must if you work with computer graphics, but no so with games, and that nothing over 4GB should make a difference. I ended up buying 8GB, instead of a faster, lower latency 4GB. What's your opinion on this matter?Take care

8GB in a 2x4GB configuration is what I would buy right now - it's so cheap there's no reason not to. FS won't benefit much from it but Windows itself potentially can, 64-bit aware games like DCS A-10C can etc...

Yeah, I got them pretty cheap. I'm very happy my PC will be ready before the NGX is released, now It's just the Cooler Master HAF X and I'm ready to build the monster.Thanks for the feedback

Ryan, can you elaborate on this? The reason why I ask is because I'm looking at maybe replacing my XFX Geforce 295 GTX, a card I have been very happy with. I today use one 24" screen from Dell, and I'm thinking of adding maybe another two for something mainly non-flightsim related things. For this I have found the 590 to be perfect. Are you saying that I then will get less performance in FSX with a 590 than I would with a 580? As far as I know, the 590 has two cores of the same type that 580 have one of. Even if FSX is only able to utilize one of the cores, it still should perform at least equal to the 580. Or am I missing something here?

The GTX590 is clocked much lower than a GTX580, to the point where it's more like a GTX560 SLI.

As Dario said above, the 590's core speed is 607MHz, the 580 runs at 772MHz. A single half of the 590 (which is what you'd be using in FSX essentially) is slower than a single GTX460 even in terms of clock speed. (it does have the same number of shader cores that the 580 has though).There's really no game out there that doesn't run extremely well at 1920X1200 on a single 580. The 590 or running true SLI with multiple cards is for people who want to run gigantic resolutions on 30"+ screens and stuff like that. You don't need multi-GPU to run two monitors - tons of people do that just fine off one card. If simming is your primary use of the video card, SLI/Crossfire is a waste - maybe this will change if Flight takes more advantage of the GPU, but no one knows yet.

Ok. Thanks Dario and Ryan. I was actually not aware that each core is clocked that much down on dual GPU cards. I will maybe just get a 580 then. I could always add another 580 later as an SLI if required. I use the video card for both simming and some gaming, but both is mostly done on one 1920x1200 monitor, so that should be alright.And yes, I look forward to hearing about what the new MS Flight has "under the hood" :(
