Yes, I just finished reading it. Is the nVidia inspector really something that works? All other things I will modify in my FSX.cfg in a while and post results.

1) Yes I installed SP1 & SP2 2) Upgraded from: CPU: Intel E8500 Core2duo 3.0 gHz OC'd at 4.0 gHz Mobo: MSI P7N SLI-Platinum 2 PS: Antec 1000 watt Memory: 4GB DDR2 Video: nVidia GTX260 OC2 OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit 3) After hardware was installed, istalled new mainboard drivers and did clean install of nVidia 196.xxx. Was playing around with it today and found I can max out all sliders (with water on 2.0 mid) except traffic and autogen scenery. It looks pretty good and runs well between 30-40 fps. But the whole reason I have poured so much time, money and energy into FSX was for the traffic and the autogen'd 3d scenery. The only add-ons I have are Ultimate Terrain X and REX 2.0. I use the 1m texture resolutions with UTX, 2048x2048 clouds with REX and 512x512 water.

So as with I am sure a ton of other users, I was getting very poor frame rates in my FSX. So I just got done installing my intel i5 2500 sandy, 16g ram, nvidia gtx570 and reinstalled FSX. Loaded up my local FBO (KSCH) with default settings except turned resolution up and cannot even get 20 fps. Very, very frustrated.
