Hey guys! I just got enough money to buy myself a new motherboard (P67). I currently have a H67 (which doesnt support OC.). I have intel i7 2600K at 3.4ghz, AMD Radeon 6870, and 4BG ram. Right now if i use the pmdg 737 at paris charles de gaulle airport along with paris VFR scenery i will get 19-25 FPS and with and other plane around 25-30. So im thinking if i buy my new motherboard i will be able to overclock to 4.2 or 4.3ghz. Will this really improve my FPS? Because i plan on getting the pmdg 777 and that is going to be a HUGE FPS hog. I just dont want to waste my money on something that wont work. So if any of you can tell me if it will work that would be great. And also if you recomend some safe overclocking speeds that would be great! Thanks guys!

Oh Man, I believe you just insulted the fine PMDG people! Assumptions, you know what they say about them. No,, your not even assuming. FYI. The NGX is one of the least "FPF Hogs" I have.

It's not nessesarily an insult. Depends how you look at it. The NGX definitly has the biggest impact on my system. It's high quality. The problems have nothing to do with PMDG, its the FSX world holding them back.

 

To the OP, I do belive that overclocking will help. FSX is CPU bound. I've upgraded almost everything on my system at one point, but the bigest improvment in frame rates that I saw was with my overclock.
