new computer problems

[mcrum3 0]

Bought a new computer that I saw on craigslist that I thought would do the job. Here are the specs.

 

AMD x8core 3.6ghz FX-8150

Saphire HD 7850

16gb of ram

windows 64 bit

600w psu

 

Its is fresh no add-ons but the pmdg 737ngx and REX. I am getting about 7-10fps... :(

 

any ideas?

Hi mate

you need to add your REX order number to your signature before i can help.

sorry its forum rules.

once you've done that i can point you to all the help you need.

mcrum3,

 

You have not provided enough detailed information for anyone to help you. How about posting the contents of your fsx.cfg or give us an idea of your slider settings?

 

Regards,

I dont even no where to find that order number. I have an out of the box .cfg file. I have not messed with it yet. my sliders are all about mid settings. Global textures are full, i think I turned the cloud level slider down to about mid way.

silly me,i'd just come from REX forum . :rolleyes: saw the post about REX and had a Brain dead moment.

If you look up Word Not Allowed's Guide to Fsx that will sort you out.

your computer specs are good enough to get much better results.

I agree, you should try Word Not Allowed's guide first. Here's another link to another excellent guide - http://www.simforums.com/forums/topic29041.html. If you are still having issues after using these guides, let us know.
