Hello everybody,

 

I have installed FSX in my new computer, but for some reason it gives bugs and fps decrease with any external add-on...

At first the FPS were between 30 and 60fps, but now seems to be quite different:

 

- with any scenery add-on + custom aircraft (like PMDG 737NGX, Aerosoft A320 Ext.): between 3fps and 10fps

- With any scenery add-on + default aircraft: between 10 and 20fps with lacks btween 1 and 5 fps

 

- No performance impact received with high/medium/low settings

- DTX10 seems to improve the fps by 5 to 10 fps but doesn't help very much

- FSX.cfg tweaked for performance does not improve and makes worse

 

I'm having and almost 1 week old new computer: AMD A6 Cuad-core 2.4Ghz not overclocked, 8GB RAM, HDD 1TB, Radeon Graphics 1GB Graphic Card, Windows 8.1 Pro.

 

Could someone please help me to get good fps? I would like to run custom aircraft and scenery with good graphics at least above 15fps...

 

Thank you in advance

And that may be a part of the problem.  FSX, for reasons unknown, seems to run better on Intel processors.  Also, 2.4Ghz is really slow for FSX.  In order to run FSX with highly detailed aircraft and scenery, you really need the CPU to be clocking at 4Ghz or greater.  Even then, do not expect to have 60fps everywhere you go.  In fact, do not get too focused on fps, but look for smoothness.  15fps and smooth looks a lot better than 30fps and stuttering.

AMD A6 Cuad-core 2.4Ghz. <- This is your problem.

What they said. FSX is a single threaded app mostly and needs CPU speed. AMD are not good at single thread performance whci is why most are moving to Intel Haswell CPU and run 4 gig and faster.

Hello everybody,

I agree, I prefear to run just smooth enough than bugging everytime, of course.

FSX runs better in Intel, totally agree, but that doesn't mean that AMD can't run it good. (example: there are quite some people running AMD much higher perf than me and I had a friend also with AMD, was amazing the graphics and perf he reached.)

I have changed antivirus and it helped a lot but still... I'm having the same performance as my old Intel/Nvidia computer D: (2.3ghz CPU 4GB RAM Nvidia 310m)

 

I would like to overclock but I don't want to lose my guarantee yet but yes 2.4ghz is not really wow... but it should be better enough...

I would be just happy to just have it smooth enough running my adds with PMDG/A320 Extended... but I'm not searching a graphic bomb of amazing stuff just because I'm not interested in that with fsx..

 

Any idea how could I improve it...?

Thank you very much

Sorry - but you are going to need a (much) faster computer to achieve what you are looking for  :(

Yep... it's your CPU.

I have a substantially better computer (although it's not that impressive) and get about 18fps at an addon airport in the NGX. I previously had an AMD FX 6300, which is way better than your CPU, and that could not even handle FSX. Sorry  :(

Because your old CPU is almost the same speed as the new CPU in regards to FSX. No, the new is not good enough. No, even a overclock is not going to change much.

 

You can improve things by turning down sliders to the left, especially AI Traffic and Autogen.

+1.  The CPU is just not fast enough. Not much  chance for improvement.
