Thank you for your information, I consider upgrading to a 2500k now. Should work for the next 3 years FSX Best regards,Christoph

Do you also use UTX Europe and Ultimate Traffic 2 at this airport? Which framerate do you get in 2D view (80% zoom) without panel on runway 07L?Christoph

It's the AsRock X58 Extreme. I just have made the experience that the airport ground vehicles cost 5 fps on a airport as EDDF from aerosoft! That's really incredible.#What are your fps on this airport? Do you use unlimited frames?Christoph

Here are my BIOS settings:Still don't know what would be best solution. Changing the whole setup could end in a stuttering FSX which may be not stable - changing only the CPU would beware me of these possible issues.Best regards,Christoph

Thanks for your replies.I am using FEX HD clouds (max. settings), and UTX Europe; no nvidia inspector; AA and AF selected in FSX - no changes in the driver.Aircraft is the JF A320, but without the panel in 2D-mode.The problem is the higher temperature (around 70°) when overclocking more than 3,6 GHz. Cooler is ok, it's the Prolimatech Megahelm.So if I would give higher voltage for higher clock (bluescreen otherwise) the temperature would increase to the high 70s.Because of this I was thinking about the 970 - it would be easy at 4 GHz with nice temperature - I suppose. With socket 1155 I could get stutters (many users reported about) and maybe not a stable system. Best regards,Christoph

Hello!I have been using my i7 920@3,6 GHz for two years now and my FSX has run not too bad (GTX 470, 6 GB RAM). But on approaches and departures at Mega EDDF, LFPG or EGLL I only have down to 13 fps even without a 2D panel or 3D panel in view (homecockpit). Sliders are on the right sides (autogen and scenery dense, but not extremely dense) except water and ground traffic, UT 2 is in use (just 40% traffic). FSX.cfg is tweaked by Bojote's tool; ground textures unfortunately often are not sharp on 80% zoom factor - don't know why.Now I consider to upgrade to a 970 because price has fallen extremely and I want to stay with socket 1366 (no motherboard change and re-install necessary).Would such an upgrade make sense? The goal would be to run the 970 at 4 GHz stable.Thanks in advance for your advice,Christoph

Many thanks for your reply, Stephen!So I will go and buy a GTX470.My i7 920 is too hot at the moment so I had to reduce my overclocking settings.Best regards,Christoph

Hello!The comparison is really impressive!Could you give me an advice: Actually I use the Core i7 920@3,2 GHz, 6GB RAM and an VaporX 4890.Would the GTX470 bring me a sginificant performance improvement in FSX (I don't play any other game)?Best regards,Christoph

Thank you very much for your excellent work, Gerard!It's working well with good framerates and now Vienna finally is worth departing and arriving again.Best regards,Christoph
