Will My PC Run FSX?

I run FSX on XP64, 2 dual core 2,66GHz woodcrest processors (Mac Pro), 3Gigs of RAM, Nvidia 7300GT card.

I play at medium to medium high settings with 25fps. I think in my case the video card is the bottleneck, although I also see that one of the processor cores is always at 100% while the others are not.

Loading SP1 and SP2 for FSX should help you use both processors.

Follow the loading directions closely or they won't work.

that made a difference indeed. got framerates of above 100 with my initial settings, so I cranked the whole set up. water effects on, weather on high, plane ultra high, scenery high, running fairly decent at 24fps fixed now..

question still stays for me: is FSX running as a 64bit app or is it not?

well ant i just the lucky one my one works:)

After my house burning down a year ago, I've got a new rig but am only achieving 9fps on it even with settings on Medium High.

Specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz
3GB RAM (4GB but on 32bit so recognises 3GB) (PC2-6400 DDR2)
1 x 500GB SATA + 1 x 1TB SATA
Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX 512MB
Vista Ultimate 32bit

I had a similar setup before (HDD was recovered from old PC) with 2GB of RAM, the same HDD, OS but a Dual Core processor at 2.4GHz and a 7600GT 256MB. With that setup, I was achieving a steady FPS (I think around 20fps) but now I can only achieve 9FPS.

Any ideas on how to improve this?

(I have SP1 installed like before and am currently downloading SP2 to see if it improves it but I didn't have it before and it worked fine.)

You should notice a speedup with SP2.

I just ran FSX with SP2 installed but still no luck. I'm still achieving nothing above 9FPS.

This is really baffling me because I had a setup which ran at 20FPS with the current settings but replacing those components for better ones, is reducing my FPS.

I think the only thing I can do now is uninstalling FSX and all addons and trying again.

Try it this way, it worked for me.

Seems long but i'll give it a try

I reinstalled and it worked perfectly. On Medium High/High, it was running at a constant 20FPS.

I just need to tweak a few display and key assignment settings and maybe increase the graphics settings to High (some on Ultra if it can handle it) and I'm ready to resume flying

It is the long way around but it works, glad you have it good now.

Hi.

After reading the thread, i´ve been asking, is possible to have a lower performance after installing service pack 2?, and after turning on the DX10 option? (having DX10 on the pc).

When i got it one month ago, i was getting 20-30 fps (setings to normal) whe blocked at 30, (20-25 been on land, after take of 24-30 fps).
After installing SP1 and SP2 i got lower fps, lets say around 10 fps. Same problem with the DX10.

CPU: Core 2 duo 2.0 Ghz.
GPU: Nvidia 8400M GT.
RAM: 2 Gb. (4 Gb Max.)
OS: Win vista home premium.
HDD: 135 AVIABLE OF 200
VAIO LAPTOP...

Thanks.

600watt power supply
water cooled
I am looking to stay at around 30-35 Fps on high settings, would this work?

it wont work for some reson it says 1 problem found what is a good site to get it from

Surely you mean shop/online shop....right?

I'm afraid I'm about to make a lot of people very jealous...

Ram - 2 GiB
Hard disk - 250 GiB
Nvidia Gefroce - 7025
memory 512 MB

type "dxdaig" in Run button of windows and check out your system

"dxdiag" instead of "dxdaig"

You do realise there is an edit function right?

Uh.... nope. I am not at all jealous. About time some one else stepped their system up.

Specs as follows:

- EVGA X58 Classified 3 Motherboard
- Intel i7-920 stock
- 24GB of Triple Channel RAM
- 3x EVGA GTX 465 Graphics Cards
- Matrox Digital Edition Triple Head 2 Go System

Enough tooting my horn......

Can run FSX with all sliders maxed, with Flightbeam Studio KSFO with the Aerosoft AES active and the Aerosoft San Francisco scenery, using the PMDG 737-800NGX and World of AI for air traffic.....

72 fps. Unfortunately, it takes a little while to get off the ground; once you leave the gates around 11:30, you are in a traffic jam.


Wait till I liquid cool it and then overclock the system.....

I have this spec:
Intel core I3 @ 3.1 ghz 3MB cache
RAM 6gb
Harddrive 1Tb 7200rpm
AMD Radeon HD 6450 1gb
Windows 7 home premium

Sorry for two post, forgot the question.
Will it run well? Se spec above...

Leave it at the default settings and slowly move the slides up.
Keep your FPS locked at 20 and take it easy with autogen, AI and shadows.

DUDE R U RUNNING A SUPER COMPUTER ???? IT DOESENT REQUIRE 3 Ghz OKAY A MAX. IT WILL REQUIRE A 2.40 OR LESS THAN THAT (THIS WILL RUN THE GAME ON AVERAGE GRAPHICS) PLS STOP SCARIN PEOPLE
