  1. Thanks I'll probably receive my card tomorrow, although the Swedish post is not very reliable during the winter I'll keep you updated
  2. Roger, thanks a lot! Will this do? http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/GTX660_TIDC2T2GD5/
  3. Max load is set to 4096 in the CFG Not sure, all sliders are maxed I fly online with real weather, so it varies from CAVOK to Sandy... I use the 8SQ settings listed here Hope it helps
  4. Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out! Roger that! Okay, thanks. I'll try some tweaking in afterburner. It looks like I will be keeping my current setup, for now
  5. Hello! I am, after around 2 years with my computer, planning an upgrade. Before I start, I'll list my specs: Asus Sabertooth P67 MOBO Intel Core i5 2500K @ 4,8GHz CPU Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz CL9 RAM Corsair HX 850W 80+ Silver PSU Gigabyte GTX 560Ti 1GB GPU 500GB HDD 150GB HDD 128 GB SSD Corsair Vengeance C70 Case Some really noisy but great Scythe fans I have looked around and found this graphics card: MSI GTX670 Power Edition OC It seems like a really nice card with high speeds, nice amount of memory and really good overclocking opportunities. The question is: Will it do my FSX any good? Right now I am running FSX on high settings with a couple of tweaks in the CFG. My FPS are mostly OK, even though they can easily drop below 20 in the NGX at a high quality airport I don't experience any large amounts of disturbing lag or stuttering. Although, sometimes the lag gets a bit too heavy. Not very often, but for sure it happens Also, my ground textures often look good (close to awesome) at departure. But after, say a two hour flight, the textures are often extremely blurry and autogen starts to disappear. This makes my FSX look really bad in a way that makes me think I'm running low on something, but what? For info, I'm using GEX for ground textures. I'm not a computer guru, but something makes me think I'm bottlenecking my system with my GPU. I mean, 4,8GHz and 8Gb of RAM should be enough, right? Although, my GPU is getting a bit old. also it's not very fast nor does it have a lot of memory. If any of you have any other thoughts, please share them. Any help is appreciated Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all of you!
  6. Hi! Today i made two tests with my freshly tweaked FSX using the NGX, and i want to share the results. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test 1: Location: London Heathrow Airport, Aerosoft scenery Flight: Took off from 09R, turned back to the airport, made a low pass above the terminals at 300ft, turned around and landed on 09L. See pic: FPS: I benchmarked the FPS with Fraps. I got the following results Min: 11 Max: 31 Avg: 24,510 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test 2: Location: Faro, Scenery by Aerosoft. Flight: Took off from runway 28, turned right back towards the airport, made a low pass att 200ft, turned around again and landed on runway 28. FPS: Min: 14 Max: 31 Avg: 26,319 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion: Pretty happy after all. The FPS aren't great. But I barley noticed any lag, so I'm already feeling better about my FSX. I did put the sliders down a bit, to around 50-75% on the scenery tab. I also tweaked using Word Not Allowed's guide, as well as the links Santi871 sent me. Any input? Can I max out my FSX even better? Regards,
  7. Hello Jim! Thanks for your answer! I have now tuned UTX according to NickN's guide. I will try these settings on a flight tomorrow. I will also try to lower my sliders a bit. I will report back. Hi! Thanks for your answer! 1. I know that. Although I won't be able to fit an H100 (Push and pull) in my current case. Also, my current case has no good cable management which really messes up the inside of the case. So a new case is on my list, even though it won't give me any higher frames :P 2. Hmm. Actually, I'm doing pretty well on the temps. I overclocked to 4,7GHz today and the temps never exceeded 75 degrees Celsius during prime 95. I probably won't get the H100 after all. You don't happen to have any tweaking links you can share? I've been looking for ages without finding anything that really helped :P As I said above, I will lower some sliders and report back! :) Regards
