A320cap 0 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi guys! How many FPS do you get in FS9 and FSX? Also, please tell me your specs I usually get in FS9 in LGAV with a Cessna 15 FPS . In FSX, with very low settings, I get 20FPS My specs are: 7800 GTX AMD 3000+ 1GB RAM 120GB+250BG Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 9 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 One tip, all you need to do is upgrade your processor and your FPS will leap up. A 7800GTX and a AMD 3000 CPU...you looney :blink: The 7800 is a great card, splash out £90 on a new processor and a cheap 1GB stick of RAM and you will be away :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites

Martyn 9 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Where are you pricing that? Is it retail? I spec'd up a PC a while back, which was about the same spec as that. It came to about £3300. Have you looked at : Overclockers Ebuyer Dabs Scan Computers Savastore? Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I buy it from Greece. There might be a discount of almost 600 Euros! Just I am a bit disappointed 'cos the QX6800 is out of stock everywhere in GREECE!!! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Good luck Panos and good luck with Vista Ultimate, I got it today and have installed the 64 bit version and I am having a few problems with nVidia display drivers, if I find out what the cure is I will post it in this forum :mrhappy: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Which edition of Vista Ultimate do you suggest? 32 bit or 64? Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 9 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 If you use Cargo Pilot then stick with 32 bit, pretty please 64 bit is probably a better long term investment but for compatibility reasons, stick with 32bit for now if possible Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 ok. THANKS. I'LL finally order it tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 It will be here in 12 days. Changes: I'll buy a Sparkle Video Card instead of ASUS I hope it is OK. What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Sorry for the late reply panos, it's because I have been having so many problems with Vista :sadblinky: I started off with 64 bit and on it's own it is b-e-a- utiful! But there are some issues I feel running some 32 bit apps. Also I still haven't cured the problem with the nVidia drivers for Vista 32 or 64 bit and the constant messages with "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" nvlddmkn so at the moment when I run FSX it's a nightmare so it will take a while for me to sort it I expect. Good luck with your new rig. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
