April 22, 201412 yr I did some tests yesterday. System: Core i7 3770K with NVidia 680-Ti and 16GB RAM, Win 8.1 fsx.cfg is tweaked with Bojote's automatic tool: http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html Maximum overclocking default: 4,3GHz (43x100; NEVER ever alter blck frequency with win 8/8.1!). I get about 40fps with clear weather in heathrow extreme runway 27L. As my GPU has a load of about 40-60% which only increases with clouds I just only tweaked my cpu: load line calibration to extreme, vcpu to 1,47Volts, deactivated hyper threading, sleep states, epu and tpu (asus) and was able to overclock to 4,6GHz. I got about 42fps so no major increase at all but about 92 degree core temperature soon after and the cpu decreased clock. Also the airflow was very loudly (Corsair H100i hybrid cooled cpu). So I'm going with normal overclocking values and get about 63 degree on cpu which is good with a load like this (about 76 degree with cpu-z). Kind regards, Stefan Sondermann
April 23, 201412 yr My system isn't top-end and I'd say performance is similar to the NGX. I wouldn't know the FPS I'm getting. As long as the experience is smooth, I couldn't care less about FPS and my experience with the NGX and 77X is very smooth with rather high graphic settings on FSX, even at busy airports during a ASN thunderstorm. Configurating your system settings are very important and I had to do some tweaking on that when the NGX came out. There are many forum topics helping your way around while setting up your system. Once you set up your system in the right way, you're good to go, even with a less powerful PC. Ralf Medernach

July 7, 201411 yr Normally I locked it with the NVIDIA Driver to 35 and there it stays everytime. Just unlocked it and get up to 60 fps inflight and up to 40 on ground at Mega Airport Barcelona. Using ASN, REX, ORBX Global + Vector, EZDOK, TRACKIR, Shade, ENB, AES, PFPX, and of yourse the T7 AMD FX8350, GTX770, Win7 64, 8 gig Patrick Claussnitzer, Virtual Pilot, real Air Traffic Controller
July 8, 201411 yr I7-3930K - GTX 670 4GB about 25-30 FPS (unlocked) with the 737NGX with GA about 50 FPS. Philipp Schwaegerl
