FS9+Addons vs. FSX+Tweaks

Featured Replies

Hi:For those of you still on the fence, below are some comparison shots which speak for themselves. What they cannot convey is the sense of "flight

wow, thanks for the comparison, the difference is huge!

Keep in mind that notwithstanding the lower frame rates in FSX. it was a lot smoother and more immersive. FS9 had stutters.

>wow, thanks for the comparison, the difference is huge!I think the most striking difference is that the mountainsseems higher in FSX. Otherwise I would say no huge difference.

I'm on an opteron @ 2.6 2 gigs ram dual 7800gtx. Please do not take this personally, but if the only difference you can discern between the shots is the height of the mountains, than FSX is possibly not for you.

>I'm on an opteron @ 2.6 2 gigs ram dual 7800gtx.>The AMD single cpu's seem to handle FSX better for some reason. Nice shoots.

What tweaks have you done?? Excellent shots. I can't get shots like that and I am running a core 2 duo 2.13ghz 1gb ram (i should upgrade that to 2) and geforce 7600gs 256mb ddr2. Graphics card is weak but I don't want to upgrade yet because DX10 cards are coming out. Is your graphics card 512 or 256. Either way it's a nice card. Would love to know your tweaks and how the graphics were in this same location without tweaks.

Would you mind copy and pasting your fsx.cfg here or emailing it to me @ [email protected] looks great

Recent tests by Bill Womack have made a strong case for having 2gigs of system ram minimum. There's a thread probably disappearing rapidly below now on this. He found a utility that displays how your computer is using system ram and video ram real time. He showed that when his video ram needs exceeded his capacity, system ram was "borrowed", and in some cases he reached 100% on his 1gig system ram.I recently rebuilt my computer and this time I bought 2 gigs of system ram, on a conroe e6600 on a 975x mobo with a radeon x1900xt 256mb vid. After seeing his thread, I downloaded this little utility and did some testing myself. I also found that demand for video ram exceeded my cards 256. I don't know yet perfectly how the utility works, its confusing because it seems to show a full scale of 512 mb for my video ram (as it did for Bill's in his example shots) while both of us have only 256mb on the card...but I can say that at no time did my 2gigs of system ram fill to 100%. HOWEVER....if I would have only had 1 gig of system ram it would have. I was using up to 75% of my 2 gigs.Best,Bob
