Upcoming PMDG 777 perfomance/frames

Featured Replies

Hello folks,

 

my question is adressed to all the Beta tester that put the T7 to the proof.

 

Now to my proper question:

 

The NGX runs on my little bit slow PC pretty well, indeed.  

I´ve an Intel i5 750 4 cores that runs at 2,6GHz, Zotac GTX 560 2GB GDDR5, 1TB hard drive and 6GB RAM. I almost tweaked FSX to it´s best.

 

The result is that I achieve with the NGX at one of many Mega Airports like Frankfurt or Dusseldorf and so about 20FPS when the mouse courser is in FSX and about 23-40 FPS when the courser is out of FSX. However, it´s doing well but it´s most likely not the best..

 

Anyway, I read a article published at AoA where the upcoming T7 is said to be better in Frames compared to the NGX. 

 

So all in all to calm myself a little bit down prior to the release of the T7: As far as the article is concerned I will achieve better Frames with the T7 compared to the NGX, won´t I?

The idea behind the better frames is the less complex cockpit geometry in the VC.  The NGX is full of all kinds of complex shapes, and many many more clickspots for the mouse to hover over and use vs. the 777.  That is my read on why performance will be much better because the GPU/CPU won't be working as hard.  And PMDG has a talent for finding new ways to optimize performance with each new product.
