Thanks. I had a hunch towards upgrading the GPU, but reading everything on every forum that FSX is a CPU-heavy program made me second-guess myself, even though the OC is pretty high on my system. I run a 1900x1080 resolution. Currently looking at the 1050Ti, as that seems the best bang for my budget.

I'm looking to upgrade my rig to perform better. Currently running the specs below and achieving around 15-20Fps in high density environments. Already use a scenery config tool in order to make sure the system only runs what I ask it to. Defrag done recently. Running PMDG products well enough but could be better. Aerosoft/ORBX airports are where we have the issue, especially on takeoff/landing etc. What should I look at upgrading as priority? For the record, I know that FSX is outdated and buggy. Not looking for any "upgrade to P3D" advice. Just want to get FPS looking more like 30-40.
