    If this chips are good OCer's with good temps, I will be an early adopter... I've already got my money ready! :biggrin:

    I've heard the A321 is very under-powered as well...

    4800nm in a -800 seems unlikely....

    Progress!! Thank you Flight1 for moving with the community... The ball is rolling.

    AFAIK, the airlines would rather take an underpowered NG over an overpowered 757. With the NG, they can carry nearly the same amount of passengers but at lower fuel costs due to the lower throughput of the CFMs used on the 737. All the airlines are looking for are aircraft that get from Point A to Point B with the lowest costs possible... (The -900ER is quite close to the 757-200 in seating capacity.)

    I've read from some United pilots that the 737-900er is one of the most underpowered airliners in the sky right now. They said on flights from EWR-LAX they take full runway, flaps 5 and bump thrust and they still use a significant amount of runway. I'd love to see Boeing and CFM design an engine with 33K-35K thrust for the 900/900ER.

    Shot #3 is epic!

    Sounds great!

    Only certain sceneries are designed to actually utilize GPU horsepower. FSDreamTeam and Flightbeam airports are both designed in a way to offload alot of work to the GPU. For most other scenarios, the only "work" that the GPU will be doing is to Anti Alias the image and keep textures crisp with Antistropic filtering.

    Very neat! Looks like you get a much more lifelike representation of the cockpit due to the aspect ratio...

    I would prefer a move over to cloud service picture hosting. I currently store all of my photos in Skydrive so being able to copy and link and go is very simple. :smile:

    I'm currently using 314.14 and have found them to be exceptionally smooth with regards to clouds and AA.

    Looks like it is about a 20% increase in performance over SandyBridge and a 10% increase over Ivy Bridge. - If these prove to OC to 5GHZ then I will build a new Haswell rig at release! :biggrin: Source

    I actually think they are doing it this way. With the NGX, there was a tremendous amount of hype and teasing but with the T7 it has been a few brief updates, screenshots and the webpage... I still have my doubts though. - This just doesn't seem like PMDG to suddenly build up release anticipation.....
  21. Ben Cap
    Agreed....
  22. Ben Cap
    I bet it is still a few months out. I'd say late April at the earliest.
  23. Ben Cap
    I also agree... Wait for the next gen Intel CPUs.

    I have got Titans in 4 way SLI right now.... Powering 8 2560x1600 displays... In all seriousness, I am totally kidding..... :lol:
  25. Ben Cap
    I've never personally used IBT for stress testing. - It loads the CPU with an unrealistic amount of load.... There is no way that you would *ever* come close to that kind of load in *any* kind of scenario in FSX. P95 is the way to go. B)
