I would like to thank all who have posted here, since these benchmarking results have been very helpful to me when choosing the specs for my new FSX rig. Now that it's here, I'd like to return the favor by posting my results.This was my first run, which came out with an avg of 40.3Hardware Configuration: CPU: Intel i5-2500k @ 4.4GHz HT n/a RAM: 2x4GB 1600 (9-9-9-24-2T) GPU: EVGA GTX 570 1.5GB HDD: OCZ Agility 3 SSD FSXMark11 Results: Test Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg2 12151 300000 25 55 40.5033 12040 300000 25 55 40.1334 12082 300000 24 54 40.273AVG 12091 300000 24.7 54.7 40.3 Next, I increased to CPU overclock from 4.4 to 4.6, which bumped up the avg to 41.6 Hardware Configuration: CPU: Intel i5-2500k @ 4.6GHz HT n/a RAM: 2x4GB 1600 (9-9-9-24-2T) GPU: EVGA GTX 570 1.5GB HDD: OCZ Agility 3 SSD FSXMark11 Results: Test Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg2 12594 300000 25 56 41.983 12396 300000 26 55 41.324 12412 300000 25 56 41.373AVG 12467 300000 25.3 55.7 41.6 Finally, I changed the memory timing from 2T to 1T, which increased the Avg to 42.2 Hardware Configuration: CPU: Intel i5-2500k @ 4.6GHz HT n/a RAM: 2x4GB 1600 (9-9-9-24-1T) GPU: EVGA GTX 570 1.5GB HDD: OCZ Agility 3 SSD FSXMark11 Results: Test Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg2 12830 300000 25 57 42.7673 12479 300000 26 57 41.5974 12682 300000 25 56 42.273AVG 12664 300000 25.3 56.7 42.2Nothing spectacular, but it was good to see that my tweaks actually did make at least slight improvements in the framerates.Again, thanks for this useful benchmarking data, and I hope this helps!Keith
