May 26, 200620 yr Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I'm curious to know if there has been any speculation as to whether FSX will be able to take more advantage of the Nvidia SLI architecture. I know perfectly too well about FS being one of the most CPU intensive games around and from my own personal SLI experiments, one 6800GT outperformed two SLI 6600GT's in FS2004. I wonder if FSX will be improved in this area?

May 26, 200620 yr Author Cool. Can you imagine where we'll be a couple of years from now with all the tweaked FSX addons, Quad DirectX-10 SLI cards (or ATI's equivelent(sp?), and better than 6000+ CPU's? I remember loading FS 2.0(I think - 1983) from a couple of 5-1/4" floppies on a 8088 processor and it took 15 minutes to fire-up and start a game. This is one aspect I love about this game, it never stops progressing forward....regards, AL | KCHS - Charleston, AFB | Home of the 437AW (53 C-17's)-------------------------------------------------------------Game Rig:AMD64-4000+ SanDiego OC=220/440/2640 | Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe | Corsair TwinX2048-3200C2PT (2x1GB) 2.5-3-3-8/[email protected] | Evga NV 7900GT v84.56 (No OC yet)| NV LAN@1GB | NV SATA-I Raid-0 223GB (3x80GB Samsung) (WinXP/Games) | NV SATA-II WD 320GB (Backups) | IDE-0 80GB Samsung (Archive) | Realtek AC'97 5.1 Surround | CH Yoke, TQ, & Pedals | FS9.1 | WideFS Server | FSUIPC v3.6 | FSGenesis Mesh (All) | PMDG (All) | PAI (All) | FSBuild2 | Etc...FS9 Support Rig:AMD3200+ | Gigabyte GA-7NNXP | Leadtek NV 5900 | Corsair TwinX1024-3200 (2x512MB) | Intel LAN@1GB | SiI3112 SATA-I 80GB Samsung | IDE-0 80GB IBM | JustCom 4port KVM | FS Wide Client | ActiveSky v6 | Radar Contact v4 | FS Real Time | FS Flight Keeper | FS Commander | AI Smooth Regards, Al Jordan | KCAE
