FS9 FPS problems help appreciated

hey guys

Im having a bit of a problem well I think it is a problem I recently purchased a new motherboard , a P4P800 to be exact, so I could get my X850XT 258MB working cerrectly as there had be loads fo problems with it performing before.

Anyway everything seems to be workign fine with all games like Half Life 2, Call of Duty 2 etc etc but yet with FS2004 I get around 5 to 7 FPS when in the PMDG 737NG VC and flying in and out of places like London Luton, Gatwick, Amserdam, Seattle etc etc from what ive heard about this card (X850 XT) which is sopost to be one of the AGP cards out there That cant be right im sopost to be getting around 15-18 at least when flying out of places like that but yet my FPS persists to be horrible .

Help or ideas on the matter would be much appreciated

thanks

Those are all graphic intensive areas as is the aircraft, combine the two=low FPS.
Back off on traffic, clouds, autogen and shadows and you should see the FPS increase some.

Yuod ive done that and of course there is an increase in FPS it also turns out that my CPU is running a bit hot so im giong to get some good cooling for it

Good idea, the more fans the better.
