They dit not change the pricing. The academic license $50.- and the private license $199.- I am not a student (I am an older flightsimmer, 62 years young ) and I have no connections with them, so my price for P3D is $199.-

Hi friends. Thank you for your support. This ASUS HD7970 is the second graphics card I received. The first one was a faulty graphics card with all red stripes and blocks on the BIOS screen. I sent it back and received a new one. With this graphics card I have no further problems. Only in Prepar3d I have the problem of the second transparent desktop in half the screen. FSX works fantastically well on this PC and this same ASUS DCII HD7970 So I can not go back to ASUS and ask for a new card. I think the problem is in P3D I did sign up in the Prepar3D forum with this problem and I sent the same story to prepar3d support. I did not receive an answer yet because of the weekend. Jake, of course my FSX is tuned by ******* Bojote also. Thank you for your comments and the link to the guide-for-fsx,I will serously read them. I think the first problem is my screen. I'll wait for an answer of P3D support. The second problem is the fine-tuning. I'll let you know on this forum Regards Kees

Hi friends, Today was a memorable day for me. I dowloaded Prepar3d ( $199.-) I have a massive new PC with the following specs: I7 Extreem 2700K 4.3 GHz Vertex3 SSD 240 Gb Brand new ATI Radeon HD7970 ( top off the bill) Asus P8 Z68-v pro motherboard Win7 ultimate - 64 I have FSX installed on this PC I am very happy and satisfied. The framerates: On runway 34R Tacoma seattle in the of the cockpit PMDG 737ngx 30 fps.(very frame intensive) All sliders in the scenery maximum After take off I have limited my fps on 40, without limiting 65 fps After installation of P3D I was nervous like a child with a new toy. After the scenery configuration, sliders default, and the configuration of my screenresolution and other sliders I took myself to seattle. To make a long story short, With the default mooney Bravo a have a massive lost of framerate in comparison with fsx. On the runway 14 fps and in the air 20 fps.( with this simple default plane) After several times of tuning p3d and minimizing the detail sliders in the scenery this was the maximum result of my efforts. There is a graphic distortion too. On my screen is a second transparent desktop visible. I reloaded my ATI Radeon drivers, this had no result. I realize that I sound very negative but on this moment I am not very happy. Fine tuning an application is always necessary but I did my best and had no result. I am very disappointed. Who can give me some advise. Regards Kees

Enough to do, Thank you for your efforts.Let you know Regards Kees

Yes I did overclock my CPU a little bit to 3.3 Ghz. No, i did not overclock my ATI 5870When I do, the screens stay flickering in an annoying way.On the fora there are enough topics to describe that problem.We expect Ati to solve this problem in a future release. But without overclocking there seems to be enough capacity rest by the CPU and GPU to work harder.Why don't they.Can you explain that to me. Thanks,Kees I read your advice about Nvidia

Is this topic still active ? My system: P6T de luze v2, I7-960, Memory: 6 Gb, SSD 160Gb, sec HD 1 Tb, ATI Radeon 5870.My FSX.cfg is tuned by Bojote's tweaking tool and I have no further problems with FSX but the framerates ...... In Taskmanager I see the four cpu's and the four threads.All the CPU's are active ( perfect)The four treads are used in a minimal way.My overall processor activity is aprox 40% When I look in the overdrive tab of ATI's CCC then I can see the GPU processor activityMy overall GPU activity is aprox 50% This when turning around, in spot view, at the gate of a very heavy Aerosoft airport like Amsterdam.Or by the take off from seatlle with my iFly 373ngx In this situations my framerate is 10-15fps This is my question:In the situations above I get 10-15 fpsMy CPU and GPU are leaning on there elbows.Why can't I get more frames per secons I my CPU and GPU at 100% Regards Kees
