Sandy Bridge Vs Ivy Bridge for FSX

Featured Replies

I haven't seen any benchmarks of FSX on 5.6Ghz or even 5ghz.

 

Mines running at 5.2Ghz and i use all the addon you do, but get around 24fps at a large airport. You must have a machine that runs on the "god particle".

I get no less than 96 FPS when FSX is on Max settings and also running PMDG 737NGX, REX and a lot of heavy sceneries such as FTX England/ FSDreamTeam KJFK

 

That is literally impossible. I've got my CPU @ 4.9GHZ, a GTX660Ti, and when I fly into JFK in the NGX at night, my FPS are down into the mid 20s and high teens.

Let's see how well you do on 5.6Ghz like I did. It is of course impossible to get those fps on 4.9Ghz as you said.

But in the first post you said you are at 5GHz not 5.6GHz...

 

 

Honestly I've never owned an Ivy Bridge but I'm very happy with my SB I5-2500K overclocked to 5Ghz . Here's my experience with my CPU...

 

In the winter as the OAT in London drops to around -3c and the temp inside my room is around 18-25c(below 13c when heaters are off), I overclock my CPU to 5Ghz and ohh boy.... FSX runs like a dream. I get no less than 96 FPS when FSX is on Max settings and also running PMDG 737NGX, REX and a lot of heavy sceneries such as FTX England/ FSDreamTeam KJFK and Flytampa Dubai rebooted etc... And on top of that, my CPU never reaches above 64 degrees celcius.

 

 

96 is a very precise number, where are you getting that information from, FRAPs, FS internal FPS calculator?

 

And being able to hit 5.6GHz would make me think you have a golden chip for a system that is not LN2 (or similarly) cooled even with a dedicated AC unit.

14 percent increase in CPU power translates to almost four fold performance increase? Who needs physics when fantasy rules the land.

Even so, you are NOT going to go from mid 20s to 90FPS just from a 700MHZ increase. You should probably post some benchmarks/videos....

 

Spouting off about fairy tale performance is nonsense.

+1... Twisting numbers?

Here are some somewhat unique settings that the original poster posted on another thread, which may improve his performance (particularly the second one):

-Antialiasing off.

-No clouds

-Aircraft cast shadow off

 

By the way Word Not Allowed, I sent you an e-mail a little over a week ago with some questions regarding your PFC yoke. Could you please answer them, as it is nearing the holidays, when purchasing a new yoke may be a possibility? Thank you in advance.

Really?? Don't remember getting any email about PFC... I answered all the emails I got. I'll check junkfilter, but please also resend the email.

I have resent the e-mail. Thank you so much for your support!

What you fail to realize that the FPS bump you claim to have comes from the overclock from 5.0 -> 5.6 Ghz, which is in plain words impossible.

Much like claiming that your car accelerates 4x faster with 20% higher HP.

 

Thank you! :lol:

I have an i7 3770K Delidded and OCed to 4.9. FSX runs better than I have ever had it run before. I keep my frames locked at 60 (60Hz refresh rate) and normally get 25-35 in the NGX VC and 60 in flight. Stress test temps are 88C during 30 runs of Intel Burn Test at Max Memory (14ish GB and about 3.5 hours) and 81C during 12 hours of Prime95 Blend. My sim temps under load haven't exceeded 60. Not sure what my ambient room temps are but during the winter the heat is set to kick in at 67F so I would guess it would be in the 65-70F range.

I have to agree. The biggest thing I noticed from my 5ghz SB (IB running at 4.8) is much better smoothness and stability with about 10c cooler running under load (SB 75c-85c, IB 65c-72c). I'm sure the 680gtx over the 580GTX and 2133 mem are also a factor. Cheers jja PS haven't delidded yet because there is no need.

OP is obviously stating FPS in flight which NO ONE cares about because it DOESN'T MATTER. /thread

I think this poster was feeling naughty today and decided to do some trolling by posting this thread disguised as semi-legitimate. Ban him for a few days for these ridiculous claims.

Hi

We now thats 300mhz diff to a 3770K after he see this a bet he have a 6.0fhz CPU

Its a screen when a tuned the phase change to the system
