FSX lags with a very good rig...

[rubrog 0]

Hello!

I just bought this pc. It´s a very good pc, and I get 60 fps on every game i play, except FSX... I have installed fsx on the /C drive, the same drive as the OS. The addons i use in game is:

Pmdg 737ngx

Active sky next

ezdoc

aivlasoft EFB

 

When i`m on the ground, it lags alot... But when i get airborne, it doesn´t lag at all..

 

Is this because FSX and OS is on the same drive? Or do i have to overclock the cpu? the cpu is a intel core i7-477k 3.5 GHz.

What do you consider "low fps." Here in the world of FSX, 20fps is considered good 

The NGX and ASN are the primary causes of your low framerate. You will also have to tweak your fsx config file if you haven't already. Here is a great website for tweaking your config file if you're too lazy to tweak it yourself:

You have my sympathy but welcome to the world of Flight Sim. Personally I am thinking of taking a brake from it. There are so many other enjoyable things that I could be doing with this Top shelf computer that I have without any of the FS frustration.

Did you tweak the cfg file? And do you have the two Service Packs?

Its a rude awakening isn't it?

based on the time that you have been a member of this Forum

is it safe to assume that you are new to FSX and FS in general?

 

There is a lot to learn and hindsight being 20/20 I would say that

had I know from the beginning what was involved I would have

walk away.

 

Based on the specs you listed the best advice I can give you for FSX

is to uninstall it reinstall it on another drive. Get ride of on of the GTX 780's

Its doing you know good at all unless you are using more than one monitor.

 

You have virtually the exact hardware NickN recommend on Simforums.com

 

Go over there and read the i7 4770K at 4.8ghz thread and his FSX Bible.

You have exactly the right hardware for those guides.
