Alcpone

I am wishing I had spent the extra on the i5 3570k as this rig is mainly for fsx, I took some bad advice and now I am paying for it. for some reason their are only 3 of the 6 cores pumping away? I can see, the i5 in the imac is only a 2400s @ 2.5ghz and it out performed this chip a whole lot, im hoping I can figure out the cfg abit better to hopefully not have to slide the sliders too far down.

Thanks for the reply. What kind of FPS do you get? I had all my sliders wacked up on the i5 in the mac and it still managed better FPS than this AMD chip.

Hi all, I have been browsing this forum for a while but have only just signed up recently. I have built a new system and got FSX installed, I was running FSX on a imac with a i5 and 8Gb of RAM and a HD6750 512Mb GFX card. It ran fairly well on that tbh, this new system is struggling to even get into the low teens fps, I have done the usual FSX CFG tweak and have acceleration installed. My specs are, FX 6300 3.5Ghz CPU 8Gb DDR3-1600 GTX 650 ti OC 2Gb Have any of you guys got anything similar to this spec and got decent fps? I have GEX, REX, FSGenesis, UTX and a few addon planes nothing that troubled the imac, I am going to be really disappointed if it turns out this system is just not going to cut it. I got advice and was told this would suffice, probably took advice off someone who doesn't play this demanding CPU based sim. Any advice would help. Thanks

Hi all. I can't work out the panel :( How do I set the ALT and SPEED, etc? Are their any tutorials kicking around? I am probably missing something simple but hey ho these things happen. Any help would be grately appreciated. Cheers
