Lately, and ever since I've returned and re-installed FSX (On a reformatted system) I've been getting low frame. Anywhere from 14-25 FPS~ I have tweaked my config file a bit but I haven't gotten any real performance boosts, just a more stable FSX. I've seen people with lower end systems running the game at about 40-50 FPS, and I would really like to see better performance.

System Specs:

CPU: i7 950 OC'd to 3.6Ghz
GPU: EVGA GTX 770 SC'd w/ ACX
RAM: 12gb OCZ
SSD: 125gb SSD running off SATA 6.0

Mods/Addons:

PMDG 737 NGX
Airbus X Extended

You really don't need more than 20 FPS. Anything more is just showing off. wink

Maverick...You are fine with 14-25 FPS...Normaly people freeze at 30PFS. In PMDG 737, I can`t run more than 14 FPS.

I run 30fps on my PMDG and AXE mostly all the time. Goes to 29 a fraction of the second from time to time. I am even considering upping the limit just to see how high I can go.

I have an i7-2600 @ 3.40mghz, 16gb RAM, nVidia GTX 580 1.5 on board RAM, 256SSD for the system and 128SSD for the games.

Have a look at: http://kostasfsworld.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ and http://forum.avsim.net/topic/324786-nvidia-configuration-guide-inspector-2xxxx-drivers-version-20-explanations-of-all-settings/ (need an avsim account to view the thread).

I'm now running FSX between 30-40 FPS in the AXE.

I personally use the Venetubo tweaking with some slight modifications. Also, don't forget to get nVidia Inspector.
