Airbusmad Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi all I'm a very keen FSX player and i really want to get lots of scenery and pay-ware aircraft, but I have FSX in its defualt state and it seems to be quiet laggy so I don't want to buy any addons, I was wondering of either: 1. Anyone Is Selling A Cheap Intel Core I7 or 2.If anyone can help me fix this issue. My specs are: AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core Processor 3.80 GHz 8.00 GB RAM (7.98 GB usable) NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 64 bit operating system Many Thanks Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennC Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Myles, How old is this machine? I have an Asus with an AMD FX-8600, I think. I've upgraded the video card a couple times. It's quite useable most of the time. Most likely, you can't do much about the CPU and RAM should be OK. How much memory is on the video card?

lnuss Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 ...but I have FSX in its defualt state and it seems to be quiet laggy... Does that mean just no add-ons or does it mean also the default graphics/display settings that were set at install time? Laggy performance, on a halfway decent machine, usually indicates that the settings sliders need to be slid more to the left, that you're asking too much of your machine. Water setting, is one that can really affect your performance. Also, is this "laggy" performance in New York City or LA, or is it in a small town, or perhaps out in the boonies. Also, how much AI traffic do you have running? Too much can kill performance. There are, of course, several sets of "tweaks" out there that you can try, too. I might also note that it's easy to have multiple display settings available, by saving your current settings under a name you'll remember, then changing settings 'til your performance is decent where you and save that one, too. I have several performance settings saved, one for big city, one for high country (mountains of Colorado), one for midwest small towns, etc. It's quick and easy to make those changes, and there's no financial cost nor is there anything to install. Another factor is the aircraft you are using. Some aircraft are more demanding on your system than others are, so perhaps you can modify settings to accompany specific aircraft. Larry N.
