July 25, 201213 yr A buddy of mine has decided to build a machine to get into FSX and thinks using 2 GTX690's would be the right move. I think 2 x 690's is overkill. He plans to run 3 monitors, not sure of the size though. What do you think? Chris Magnus HR Manager Air Jamaica Virtual Airlines and Cargo (http://www.airjamaicavirtualairlinesandcargo.org)
July 25, 201213 yr I don't think, i'm SURE it will be a mess and much worse than a single GTX670 for example... CASE: Fractal Terra Silver CPU: AMD R5 7800X3D 5.0Ghz RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 GPU: nVidia RTX 4070 Ti SUPER · SSDs: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB M.2 PCIe · PNY XLR8 CS3040 2TB M.2 PCIe · VIDEO: LG-32GK650F QHD 32" 144Hz FREE/G-SYNC · MISC: Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Joystick + Throttle Quadrant · MSFS2024 · Windows 11

July 25, 201213 yr FSX only benefits from SLI in a few scenarios. Generally speaking it is the outside views that can be accelerated, rather than the cockpit views (some exceptions apply). I dunno about anyone else, but I really only do any useful flying inside the cockpit, outside views are great for screenshots though. Regardless of what gets accelerated, quad SLI is *not* useful, FSX's workload just isn't that limited by the GPU and multi-GPU technology still isn't very good at spreading a workload across 4 GPUs. A single 690 would be great, but may not be faster than a single 680, even.
July 26, 201213 yr a lot of guru's always say never use a dual card for FSX, it doesnot work properly. the old engineered fsx cannot handlle it. waste of money wait till the gtx 685 comes out. paula
