September 14, 201213 yr I was wondering if I were to overclock my i7 2600K to 6.0GHz using the multiplier and the FSB speed, if I could achieve 30fps+ at an airport like FlyTampa Boston in the Virtual Cockpit of the NGX. I'm currently running no overclock, 12GB of 2000MHz RAM, and 2 GTX 560's over clocked on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit. I currently get 20fps+ and was looking to get no less than 30fps-40fps at a very large add-on airport with out AI traffic and medium settings. Connor Anderson
September 14, 201213 yr Author Thanks for answering the question. I am well aware of what I am getting into, I have even gone so far as to contact Intel. I have the cooling under control. Connor Anderson
September 14, 201213 yr You're never going to reach that overclock so the question is moot. Randy Swofford
September 14, 201213 yr Author OK, so here is the next "MOOT" question. What do I need to never drop below 30fps at an airport like FlyTampa KBOS in the NGX VC??? Connor Anderson
September 14, 201213 yr Hehe. They are right, but you should get to 4.5ish. At that speed fsx should run very well, my guess, withyour GPU, min. 22fps at a complex airport like orbx ymml. But no guarantees, just oc until reliability tanks. Simmo W, Melbourne, Ozhttp://www.youtube.com/user/id5556
September 14, 201213 yr What do I need to never drop below 30fps at an airport like FlyTampa KBOS in the NGX VC??? you should not be so fussy? for KBOS it is always an expected 12 to 20 fps performance But seriously, this is how you do it: Turn OFF your fps counter... right now son Get a thick pen and write 90 on the upper left corner of your monitor Turn on P3D and ENJOY
September 14, 201213 yr Author OK, well that doesn't make me happy. I guess I'll go somewhere else with my question. Connor Anderson
September 14, 201213 yr You're not going to get what you're asking for because it's simply not possible. 20fps at KBOS is about all you're going to get unless you turn your settings all the way down. Randy Swofford
September 14, 201213 yr Happy BBQ! :lol: LOL What do I need to never drop below 30fps at an airport like FlyTampa KBOS in the NGX VC http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/20090908_computer.html
September 14, 201213 yr People have gotten higher, but my 2600k does not budge past 5GHz stable. I can run FlyTampa Tampa with the NGX at a smooth, stutter free experience with my NGX with settings all turned to Very Dense....Extremely dense in other areas. I can't say for the FPS cause that is a silly mark to want to hit. The sweet number and name of the game is smooth running, not high numbers. FSX is not baseball....we can't go off numbers and stats when tweaking our systems.... William Sequeira
September 14, 201213 yr Well, if he was intending to use dry ice or some other exotic cooling solution, it's quite possible to do what he was intending. I would have been interested in the results.

September 14, 201213 yr A lot more to extreme overclockig than cooling alone. Would have to have access to cherry picking components that go along with such an endeavor. Your main board especially. Randy Swofford
September 14, 201213 yr AMD over clocked an FX 8150 to 9.0ghz in a test. Using NH3 for cooling (Not something ya want to keep around your house). I can spin an SB chevy engine at 12000 rpm. For 15 sec.
