mdavenport Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hi, I have an i7-4790 with a GTX-750ti and SSD's installed. My PSU is only a 365w and is a dell PC so the PSU I believe can't be upgraded, easily anyway.. I can however just about squeeze in a GPU upgrade and have been looking at the Nvidia GTX-960 as its borderline on the power requirements. My question is, with FSX being mainly CPU bound, is it worth spending circa £190 on this graphics card? I run around 22-25 FPS at a busy airport in VC with TrackIR and hit my limiter of 30 FPS in the air. My ideal gain is FPS and general smoothness - I am wanting to make the taxi'ing around a busy airport smoother and not see FPS drop below my limiter. Let me know your thoughts.

alferra Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I would not do it bud, not worth it for FSX. Save your pennies for the next FSX upgrade as an application that can use the extra punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskancrab Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Me personally, I would wait at least another generation to upgrade. Lot of changes coming soon to their actual architecture so you will definitely get more bang for your pound sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
