That's disappointing, might just have to go back to using one screen.

It looked like core 2 got the most usage, that was maxed almost all the time, 3 and 4 went up and then down and 1 was always low. Total usage was between 30 and 79, but never over 79.

My 21" was 1600x900 I think I know it wasn't 1920. I like having the 2d cockpit on the first screen and then spot or tower view in the second. I can get roughly 30fps with just one screen going, it's as soon as I open the "new view" that it drops.

Roughly 50%, the only thing I noted that was even close to max is the memory usage and mem clock speed. And I wouldn't say performance was really poor, just that the FPS is all over the place with drops down to around 10 and maxing at around 25 when sitting still on the tarmac and not moving any of the views. I was more than happy when I was running 30fps.

Thanks, I was thinking it would essentially double the vram.

That's what I thought, but I just tried it, both screens at full res with full screen views and was getting about 10-25fps at JFK with the PMDG 747-8i. But afterwards I looked at my GPU usage and it maxed out at 49%. FSX is struggling, but my GPU isn't being fully utilized. Is this a normal quirk of FSX not being able to take advantage of modern hardware or is something wrong? Scratch that, I just looked again it looks like the vram was maxxed at about 934mb. Looks like I'll be getting another GTX 560 Ti. :D

1024mb I have it on trilinear and on.

Hi all, I've been flying with my current pc for about 6 months now and have been really happy with the results, getting about 30fps across the board with the game pretty much maxed out. I was playing with a single 21" monitor and I recently upgraded to dual 24" 1080p monitors and I'd like to take advantage of them. This is the odd part, I've dropped to about 15fps (half) with having two fullscreen views open which I guess is expected, but it doesn't seem like FSX is taking full advantage of my pc's power and I wondering first of all, why and second is there a way to test if I could somehow get better results? The temp increase on the GPU and CPU are almost nonexistant when playing FSX and that doesn't seem right to me. Is this a limitation of FSX on my system or is there something I can do to get some better results. PC specs: i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz GTX 560 Ti 8GB Ram It can play basically anything I can throw at it, getting 60fps on ultra high on modern games, which I realize are better optimized, but it just doesn't seem like FSX is taking full advantage of my system. Thanks for any help Chris

I had the Saitek and returned it within a day, just couldn't get past the detent, incredibly annoying. I ordered an Eclipse a few days ago and hopefully that will fair better, if not, it's back to a joystick.
