I've been playing FS for a while now (since 2002) and recently moved up to FSX (on a different machine ofcourse) and whilst it looks great, I get a steady 30FPS(locked in FSX) in default planes in less intensive areas. However when I get in something like the NGX VC around Manchester I get a sluggish 10-15fps.
So I am wondering if it's time for a major overhaul of my system.
My specs are:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 ~ 2.5ghz
6GB DDR2 800 RAM
160gb hdd for windows, 80gb hdd for FSX and 1tb hdd for data.
HD4650 1gb DDR2 OC.
My graphical addons are:
Flight Environment X
Ground Environment X Europe nHnaced
Ultimate Terrain X Europe
Shader 3.0 Mod
I'd like to play at a steady 25-30fps around major airports in my NGX but not something stupidly expensive.
Is it time for a major upgrade?
