September 2, 201114 yr I currently have i7-950 OC@ 4.3Ghz and GTX 580 and 6GB RAM. But my FSX gets 5-25 FPS on airport that has addons. So I was wondering if I should upgrade my system to Sandy Bridge i7 because I have heard many simmers talked about SB and they seem very happy about it. I would be very happy about some opinion. Thank you. :)
September 2, 201114 yr Personally I would hold on. you will not get 30 FPS by upgrading. I just flew from CYYZ to KMIA in the NGX with REX2.0 clouds, 20% ai, 10% road traffic, scenery sliders pushed up quite high and I had framerates from 15 - 30 (15 on the ground with addon airports). I think slight adjustments in your settings will get you more than a new processor particularly as you are already overclocked to 4.3 Mark. Mark CYYZ
September 2, 201114 yr Yes, forget about upgrading, your system specs are more than adequate, it's FSX that needs upgrading.

Absolutly right, fsx deffinatly needs upgrading, but what i find is fsx is currently a setting up game more than a flying game, so thats why i am looking forward to flight for a fresh start which wont hopefully have any problems.
