How to run FSX at 30fps?

[marcsparkz]

Hey.

 

I got a quick question on what settings I should use. I have a PMDG 737/777 running at about 12-15fps with UK2000 scenery. In the airbus x it's a different story with about 5-10fps with the same scenery. This is all being run with a AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz, a GTX 760 2GB, 16gb of ram. And all this being run at 720p rather than 1080p.

 

PLEASE HELP

 

P.s: I'm planning on getting a new motherboard with a intel i5 6600K would this help?

Your not going to get 30fps with that processor, that Airbus, and that scenery. In the Airbus configuration tool, make sure that all logging options are unchecked, that might help a bit.

The i5 processor will probably have a higher clock rating than the 2.8 GHz of your old one, which is what is holding you back. That should help.

That i5 is almost twice as good as the cpu you have now. It should make a big difference. Not sure about 30fps. In the air yes I think. Less then 30 at airports with a lot of traffic.

 

Consider i7 6700k if planning on many addons.

 

Type: "specs of your cpu as you posted (phenom until 2.8ghz)" vs 6600k

 

in google. You'll find comparisons on sites like 'CPU Boss'. (vs stands for versus). That tells you all.

To get 30 fps with complex aircraft in complex situations you will need far more than a simple mobo/chipset upgrade.

 

Adjust your expectations - or your budget.
