November 28, 201312 yr Hi, After a long time customer with AMD (HD5870,HD7970GHZ Edition) i just moved to the Nvidia Camp (GTX780SC,EVGA) and i can tell this was the right choice in terms of performance .Smoothness is also totally a different storie (for the better) DX9 is like DX10 with AMD I plugged in the new card hoping not to reinstall my hole system again and found everything to work great besides when in DX10 undocking panels. When i do this the FPS jumps in a pattern from for instance 45fps to 30fps(spooling up and down- not in a instant move) and reset itself again after 20-25 seconds. This scenarie keeps repeating ifself making the flight a bit stutter not much because the GTX780 seems to be a beast but sometimes 30 fps IS better than 17 :-). There is no issue in DX9 btw. I have tried with different drivers from 327.23-331.65-331.82 with same results. With and without Steves DX10 fixer. .. So... :-) i did a total re-install of my W7-64bit and FSX and this time ensuring Windows do all the updates before installing FSX. I installed FSX in this order on a seperate drive : FSX SP1 SP2 SDK SDK1A SDK2 But i still have this issue so either i am doing something wrong in the process or something else is going on. I have no virus scanner and i have deactivated Windows Defender ,Firewall and Diskdefragmentation. I did not have this issue with AMD so i am a little lost. Hopefully you can guide me in a direction to look at ? Thanks in advance (PS i have also a post in DX10 discussion and on Geforce, Nvidia forum) fsx.cfg . I have tried the ForceWindowedVsync=1 but that does not help with this :-) Michael Moe
