Has anyone got any info as to how much UTX affects frame rates? I'm running FSX with REX, GEX and the NGX and it looks very nice with 30+ fps and lovely and smooth. Considering buying it but I'll pass if it's too much of a hog. Running it on a i7 2600k and a GTX460 and 8 gig of 1600 MHz ram.

 

Thanks in advance,

I have been using it for a long time, running on an old E6850 and 8800GTS. Don't rmember much of a hit when I originally installed it. The only thing that slowed me down was the special night lighting, which was easy to turn off using the setup tool. The setup tool is really great, selecting any of the display options shows the performance impact in a bar graph. I also turned off "minor urban roads" as that has a bit of a hit. That option is reaIly detailed, was able to identify a small circle off of a dead-end I lived on at the time..

 

I have all UTX installed except Europe, and also running GEX, FSG terrain, and UT2 traffic. Can highly recommend UTX.

I do also highly recommend UTX. If it is setup properly there is no hit. see http://www.simforums...topic29041.html scroll to bottom.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Looks like the debit card's coming out!

There isn't much frame rate hit at all that I noticed. Night lighting is the hardest to run. UTX comes with a nice front end program in which you can configure on/off exactly what you want, including the night lighting.
