Bad FSX performance on new PC...
JDH24591 replied to JDH24591's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcOke thanks for your reactions guys! @OutofPhase: I set affinitymask at 84, I found that setting on this forum. Is that good? @TurnAndBank: Thanks for your realism. I understand FSX is impossible to be played with all sliders maxed out. But I always have the fealing that with understanding in optimizing both software and hardware I should be able to get more performance. @Pe11e: I tried your tip but unfortunately it didn't give me more performance.. @firehawk44: Thanks! I guess I pretty much have done all the described tips but will take a look anyway. Cheers, Jasper

Bad FSX performance on new PC...
Hi Guys, I recently bought some new components: -GTX770 -Intel i7 4770K -Asus maximus Vi Gene -Noctua NH D14 cooler My old components still in the system are: -RAM: 4 x 2GB DDR3 PC10666 CL7.0 Platin. LV -Samsung 1TB SATA300 32MB, HD103UJ -OCZ GameXstream 700W -Win 7 64bit I'm still not happy with the performance. Before I'm attempting to overclock the machine I try to get the max out of it. My goal is to play the game with 20-30fps with: -PMDG NGX/777 -additional hardcore scenery (like amsterdam X from Aerosoft) -REX4 HD textures -IVAO online software -All sliders maxed out (apart from light bloom(off) and traffic(about 50%)) Currently I'm getting around 11fps in these conditions. My Questions: -Are my components capable of delivering the performance I want? -If no: what should I upgrade to get the performance? -If yes: What should I do to get the performance (overclock)? Thank a lot! Cheers, Jasper

What is the bottleneck of my system?
Dear readers, I would like to improve my performance for my favorite game: FSX. My system: - Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 iP55 - Intel Core i7 860 2.8GHz 2.5GT/s Box - OCZ 4x2GB DDR3 PC10666 CL7.0 Platin. LV - MSI Videokaart PCI-e GeForce GTX275 Lightning 1.8GB DVI/HDMI - OCZ GameXStream 700W - Samsung 1TB SATA300 32MB, HD103UJ Recently, I purchased a Noctua NH-D14 cooler and succesfully overclocked my i7 860 to ~ 4GHz. Still, I am not happy with the FSX performance. I play FSX with a few add-ons, such as: PMDG 737NGX, Ultimate terrain X, Some Aerosoft sceneries as well as the IVAP online multiplayer. Also, I did the standard FSX tweaks ( such as [DISPLAY] TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40 [GRAPHICS] TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096 [Main] FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15 and more) Current performance: I run FSX at a mega airport with all sliders maxed out (but not slides such as the light boom) at ~ 11- FPS. Goal: I would like to run FSX at a mega airport with all sliders maxed out at ~ 20+ FPS. I have some thoughts how I can improve my performance: 1. Buy a SATA6 SSD ( such as the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB). If i am correct, I do also have to buy a new motherboard in order to improve the transfer rate of data. 2. I am not sure but my RAM frequency might be a bottleneck (1066MHz), So maybe buy other RAM? Can you tell me if my thoughts make sense and what you think is the bottleneck of my System? Many thanks, Jasper
