PC config

I have question is this a good configuration for this plane :

 

1.PCI-E TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 (802.11a/b/g/n 450Mb/s) 
2. LCD/LED24" LG 24EA53VQ-P(IPS,DVI,HDMI) czarny 
3. SATAIII Western Digital 1TB7200obr. 64MBRE 
4. Cooler Master HYPER212 EVO(775/1155/1366/2011/AM2+/AM3+/FM1) 
5. ATX/BTX AeroCool PGSSTRIKE-XXTREMEczarna 
6. DDRAM3 Kingston 8192MB1600MHzHyperXLVXMPCL9 (2x4096) 
7. OCZ 600WModXstream Pro SLI BOX 
8.  PCI-E ASUS GeForceGTX770 2048MB256bitDirectCu IIOC 
9. Socket 2011 Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 (X79 4xPCI-EDDR3) 
10. Core i7 (2011) Intel i7-3820 3.60GHz10MBBOX 1 szt 

 

 

I bought it for 777

So you first buy a computer and then check if it's......well never mind :lol:

 

PC is fine.

Have you posted this just to gloat?

I'm no expert on hardware PC specs, but I believe you may want to overclock your CPU to around the 4.0- 4.5 ghz, especially if you are using scenery and weather addons. As said many times before on the forum FSX is all about CPU speed.

How overclock the cPU is any recipe ? Could you help me ?? Is this safe ??

I need to improve my frame rates. When the going gets tough my frame rates drop down into the low teens. Here is what I am running at present. The video card was just upgraded. Didn't help a whole lot. The hard drive is a 7200 rpm--perhaps a bottleneck. I would appreciate some advice before I try a next step.

Good advice.

Tim... have you tried any config tweaks? Have you overclocked your CPU?

In my opinion there are actually several components that are holding you back (slow CPU, slow DDR3 and even your GPU).

The best advice I think anyone can give you is to not invest more in your current system but instead start saving for a new PC based on Haswell 4770k CPU.

Upgrading to SSD or faster DDR3 (if you can even find faster for your motherboard) on your current system will be wasting money as the CPU will still hold you back.

Getting a faster CPU is a waste of money cause your DDR 3 and GPU will hold you back.

 

With your current system you have to accept its limitations and not go crazy with combining heavy scenery addons and heavy aircraft addons.

 

Even my current system struggles to achieve 30fps with PMDG NGX + Aerosoft Manhattan X + GEX + UTX + REX clouds + OPUS FSX live weather. There will allways be limitations as to what you can run simultanuously with FSX!

Your system should do ok.

Not great but ok.

 

Your GPU (graphics card) is good.

Overclocking to 4.5Ghz helps FSX a lot but your CPU can not be overclocked I think.

I am ot 100% sure about that, cause I never looked into a system like you have, but with modern systems you need a CPU with a K added at the end to overclock.

 

So you would need a 3930k or so for that.

But I dont recommend buying that.

First you want to read about hardware and overclocking and in the future you buy a whole new PC that you overclock.

 

The only thing that you could do to improve things are (if there is need for this):

Get faster DDR3 (not just in Megaherz, but also the latency numbers!).

Optimise your system for FSX use (you dont want other software running simultanuously with FSX)

Getting an SSD for FSX make live easier, but will not necessarily reduce stutters.

 

I would guess that you can fly the PMDG 777 just fine with your system, but probably als should not throw in very heavy add on scenery at the same timeif you dont want stutters.

Tim I had pretty much your same setup with the 920 OC'd to 3.6. I upgraded to 4770K last month with 770GTX. and 1600Mhz ram... It is unbelievable.

One issue with FSX is excluding the FSX directory from virus scans.  Seems to help a lot.

Overclocking is recommended, BUT for those that don't want to overclock, I'm running the i7 4770K at default speed, 3.5 GHZ, and its giving me liquid smooth performance with REX and GSX.  

 

The only thing I overclocked is my GTX 780. Everything else is all default speed and I don't have any performance issues with my system. That's just my preference though.
