fsx

It was bit complicated to have three GPUs run on same chassis plus TH2GO...
finally, it worked. Then I set 8800GTX for Physx processor.
fps at Ground 9-12 and 9-23 in the air! Yes, I can see much improvement but not enough. I need to run PMDG at least. So, you know....
Anyway, stop here to work on Vista 64bit. I'm going to wipe everything and continue test on Win7 64bit.

fsx

well, eventually, thare ware most noticable improvement by changing 8800GTX to GTX260... fps at Ground 7-9.5 and 7-10.5 at traffic patteren then approach.
CPU usage are constantly less than 50% so, I may try physx with 8800GTX...what a costing option...

fsx

Even I manually edit AffinityMask at fsx.cfg to 15 for quad core, only can see bit improvement. fps at ground 7-9 and approach 6-8. Confirmed surely all four cores working but this is too poor result from my expectatin...
I bet it will not much affect but I going to place back the GTX260.

fsx

I replaced CPU to Core2Quad Q9650. (Actually, I have moved all devices into the new chassis, Antec Twelve Hundred this time...) yes, I spending much money recently...
But I used 8800GTX this time. Completed build and did run test on same scinario.
Result was really bit improved. fps at ground 4-8 then 7-8 or 9 at approach.
I checked system status while replaying landing, only two cores are working for FSX. okay, then, lets edit fsx.cfg.

FSX

At first, I replaced GPU from 8800GTX to GTX260 which is Leadtek GTX260 Extreme+ 896MB. This was nothing bring me positive result... fps at same FSX situation is exactly same. Was bottle nack at CPU?

FSX

I used Wideview FS but still want to run FSX on a single PC to have realistic
another traffic or "easy to run" environment.
Let me write down current hardware configuration bellow first.
Core2Duo E6700 2.66GHz
Asus P5N32E-SLI
HDD RAID striping
2GB DDR2-800 5-5-5
4GB DDR2-800 5-5-5(GX24GB6400DC)
Win Vista Home 64bit
LCDs
A) 5040 x 1050(TH2GO) for Cockpit View
B) 1650 x 1050 for Panel View
C) 1280 x 1024 for FMC

XFX GeForce8800GTX for A
Leadtek GeForce9800GT for B&C
FSX with FS Traffic. Test Flight at RJAA traffic pattern with default CRJ700.

As of today, system missing 4GB DDR2 due to hardware defect and I already sent them back to maker GeIL. Not known when they came back hence only the system is driving 2GB of DDR2 for now.
With the above environment, 6-8fps at ground and 4-7fps during the approach to the airport... How much I can get it from here? to be continued.
