Not trying to help you spend your money Howard but was thinking about selling my 560 ti on ebay and a similar one was just sold for £140, so you should get quite a bit more for your 580, I reckon around 51 bucks. :rolleyes:

Great, such a helpful bloke and explains things so well.

I was looking at this one Howard but its so wide I don't think it would of fitted in my case. http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GTX-Graphics-Card-Backplate/dp/B008A1Q43I/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1357553343&sr=1-1

I will probably wait for the 7 series, early suggestions say that the jump in performance will be as big as from the 5 series to the 6 having to support the new games coming out in 2013. Who knows ?

I am thinking whether if that is the case Arjen whether a 670 would be sufficient for my 27 in monitor 2560 x 1440. I don't mind paying the extra for the 680 if there is a big difference. Out of interest I changed my resolution to 1920 x 1080 with my 560 ti and there was no difference in FPS.

That's what I am waiting for Arjen, whether to go for a 670 or a 680.

Dohh Thanks Srdan, forgotten how many times I have said that to you since getting FSX...........

Hi I have upgraded nvidia inspector to 1.9.6.8 and I cannot see Kostas recommended settings on the drop down menus, the option settings are completely different. Can anyone please advise what to do ? If needed I cannot find a link to revert to 1.9.6.3 as in his guide. Help anyone ? Thanks Paul

I was messing with FSX last night and discovered that if I disabled ORBXLIBS in the scenery folder I was able to land at EGKK at around 3.6 on VMAPP as opposed to running out of memory. Disabling it in the scenery library gave me an extra 400mb to play with, no idea why, not that techyy.....

Thanks Ben, interesting .......

Hi Ben Did you notice any difference in FPS in non GPU based scenarios with your new 660ti ? What was your old card, a 560 ti or a 580 ?

It is with me Nik, running VMAPP I get to around 4k then I get the message. Sometimes I can just land and squeak to the gate around 3.9 but its touch and go.On VMAPP at starting gate at EGBB VMAPP shows around 3k, cruise around 3.2 and at EGKK 3.9-4.0. Is there any way to reset it without trying to restart FSX ? I have tried ALT/ENTER to switch windows but that has no effect and I am aware of the paid version of FSUIPC which allows you to save your flight. Just checked event viewer again and nothing shows up. Thanks Paul

Yes Howard, I was going to upgrade to a 580 but now will wait to see what develops !!

Thanks Howard, will give that a go and report back.

I had my first 2 last night on approach to EGKK with ORBX EU.

It would be interesting if you did a FSmark 11 test with your amazing setup Scarlett.

Anybody able to run 3 x 27" monitors in 2550 x 1440 resolution with either the 580 or the 680 and get playable frame rates ?

Great, thankyou. Regards Paul

Hi Cheryl/Steve I am in the process of reinstalling FSX and OPUS. How do I reinstall OPUS without obviously having to purchase again ? I of course have the Flight1 certificate number. Thanks Paul

I find that pretty amazing Scarlett that your settings are not maxed out with what you have spent your money on, I think you have saved me some serious money on an upgrade, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Regards Paul

Thanks Scarlett, now do one for OOM messages, and how to try and resolve them Great guide, well done.

Have just started getting the same Phil, never had it before I installed ORBX EU. such a shame as I love it. VMMAPP is showing 3.9 just as i get the message "Your computer has ran out of available memory"

Hi I am thinking about adding to my Dell 27" monitor with 2 further identical monitors. Will the 680 supply enough to provide 7650 x 1440 resolution and good framerates or am I best to wait for the 7 series next year ? Or is this just not possible yet ? I am used to high settings and 30% traffic at present and if I can get 25fps at payware airports with the PMDG I would be more than happy. Thanks Paul

Thanks for the reply Jim, managed to sort it by changing the IP address to the name of my computer, weird,..... This may help someone else one day.
