I am looking for help to get my system to run FSX above 15+ FPS (even mid 20's would be awesome). It stutters and under performs especially at FSDT KORD.

System Setup

i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz (HT OFF) Watercooled (Corsair H60)

Gigabyte Z68MA-D2h-B3

16 Gig DDR3 1600 mhz RAM

RAID1 with SSD 500 gb + WD 1TB Recovery HD

AMD HD 7950 3GB EYEFINITY 3 Monitors

Addons:

PMDG 737 NGX

WIlco Evolution Vol 1

REX 3 with Overdrive

Orbx Vector

Captain Sim 757

FSDT KLAS, KORD, GSX

Have you checked out the AVSIM FSX Config. Guide over on the right side of the Fourm page?  There may be some good advice in there to help with your stutters.

I second the advice above, FSX is mainly CPU bound so running at 4.5GHz should be more than enough, Have you tried a single screen set up and see if you still have low performance?

 

Exactly so, you'll have to drop two of the monitors to get an idea of what's really going on..........Doug

 

No on the RAID configuration.
