Riddle me this, performance toughie

[VeryBumpy 272]

Below we have a screen shot obviously GPU limited (the minor down spikes are from me task switching to Windows), this is rare in FSX. Thousand dollar question is this...what fps gain would there be from a video card upgrade?

IMHO you do not have enough VRAM to drive that very large monitor - I would say that card with 3 - 4GB VRAM might be better and upgrading to Win 7 64-bit would be a help.

keep the video card dump the system memory....2666MHz cas10!

What are you talking about :rolleyes:  his mobo/cpu won't be able to recognise RAM of that speed being an i5 - his RAM is great for his rig but he is short of VRAM to drive that monster monitor. His BCLK is fixed so increasing RAM speed might give a slight performance increase only.

Apparently it's a 1080p screen, so it doesn't matter how big it is, it's still 1080p.

What kind of AA are you running there VeryBumpy? can you post ascreenshot of your Inspector on Nvidia Control Center settings for FSX?

I5's can run the same memory speed as I7's Peter, but this is not the problem here
