FSX on new PC [HD] (Q9550, GTX260)

[russe531]

What treiber has you got?Can you me please write me?an my GTX 260 deutsch:Also wenn ich habe auch eine GTX 260 und wenn ich FSX starte dann steht da sie sollten mindestens eine geforce 3 oder readon 8500 haben was ist da brauch ich nen treiber oder was habe ich falsch gemacht??

[Turner9090]

@jr4460 hey did you get that of you were talking about along time ago?

[misterpspdude]

I can't get the 747 to take off quick enough, any tips

[LOLcopterxD]

Get REX , GEX , UTX , FEX

[FSXgta]

How will it run if i have a setup like this:

Graphics card: Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5

Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 640 3 GHz (Quad core)

RAM: Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 8GB

Motherboard: MSI 870A-G54, Socket-AM3

[jr4460]

hey man i have this do u think it will run smoothly even if i make my settings high and will i have a nice graphics like yours??

HP Pavilion Elite HPE-398d Desktop PC is this good enough for FSX? Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit Intel® Core™ i7 processor 860 2.80 GHz 8 GB DDR3 1 TB SATA 3G Hard Disk Drive (7200 rpm) BlueRay Disc Combo Player NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260 Special Edition; up to 5374 MB total available graphics memory, with 1.8 GB dedicated..

[zhihaojustin98]

still not as good as jon5700 ;)

[natakae]

I actually just recently got a new PC (windows 7 64-bit). It;'s got an i7 870 3.6Ghz, 8GB of ram, a 5750 graphics card oc to 750Ghz core and 1300Ghz memory (1GB dedicated). i can run this max graphics 8xAA - edge detect and 8x antostopic filtering 50 fps flat. no drops in fps and its locked at 50. With fraps doing a video its like 25 fps or so.

[ellonysman]

Im curious..what does everyone do when on FSX? Are you into just sightseeing, IFR techniques, different airports, countries...what are you into? Im getting bored ..take off, straight flight, land...repeat...repeat....sigh

[Lazengogh]

@ellonysman At first i thought as you. A little more than a year ago i still was like "omg those simmers are so lame and idiots" now i am a huge FSX fan. What do i do. I fly. but i fly in a realistic manner. I personally do it with GA planes and VFR, but that doesnt matter. When you do everything seriously, there is lots of things to do and to master, and it never gets boring. I have 550 hours on my logbook. Fooling around is boring and pointless.

[ellonysman]

@Lazengogh Flying around you said is pointless....youre right, Im loosing interest cuz of just going up....coming down...but I dont have time to mess around, Im trying to learn guitar, a feat in itself for me! lol..thanks for your comment.

[TheMediaMasters]

I have the same of everything in ur PC except for the GTX 260, i'm getting it in a few days, see my Simulation Channel - REDJETUK

[xclusiveboy15]

r u using fs recorder beta?

[roadsterX]

dude wen u download the game..it says ur trial version is over...now activate the flight simulator full.......so do the graphics become like the graphics in ur video ??

[Frommerhold]

Isn't this a bit boring?

[scuds03]

@Frommerhold Video is about the hardware performance not the actual flight.

[redgaridose]

could you wonder about the air craft?

[NavyAviation2016]

Nice video but I would suggest downloading a different sound file for the 747, as the one it comes with is garbage...other then that you have a nice system, if you want better performance switch to Windows 7 Ultimate and you'll get a slight increase in frame rates

[tinuvielpl]

At landing you open air brake to early. In real aircraft it could be very dangerous.

Nice fly :)

[allibowthepilot]

but i have an

intel pentium dual core 2.5ghz

4 gig ram

windows 7 64 bit

nvidia geforce 9500gt 1 gig ( overclocked)

my specs are a bit lower than urs and my sis loooks beeter and my minimum frames are 35

[Nitroboss2007]

bcs of the 9500 gt---.. go better than 260 on this game

[nathan12111]

@allibowthepilot man that the best overclocking cpu

[YourLifeStyleTV]

I've got AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+ With NviDia Geforce 9300GE ,but i will buy a new video card.

[glazuna]

i mean all not overclocked, i have now Sapphire VAPOR-X HD 5770

but i have amd anthlon +3500 2.21ghz

i will soon get i5 2,66 or maybe wait to i9 get out and buy i7 when the price raise at least 200€

[glazuna]

does it work good with Sapphire VAPOR-X HD 5770 and Intel l5 2,66 ghz?

[Kollyzz]

yes

[ScenicHD]

you have your traffic on minimum. set it to high and you'll see how your frames will drop. I have the same video card as you.

[natakae]

What are the graphics settings??? i'm going to take a wild guess and say ultra high. Am i right?? i am purchasing a Q9550 myself. i dont have a 960GTX but i have a 8600gs. (Nvidia)

[Kollyzz]

actually i dont remember.. probably almost everything on very high. Q9550 is a good cpu but sometimes it's not enough to run fsx with good fps in busy airports. I suppose nvidia 8600 is enough to run fsx.

[camerongoll]

@natakae im using a 9400gt with 1gb dedicated to graphics and i runs great you should consider that.

[DrumL3000]

it is just bad programming code. fsx has worse graphics like the other fs before and needs a monster computer.thank good it was the last FS.maybe some day there will be a new one with a other technologie different team with better graphics and performance.

i hope so.

[Kollyzz]

@DrumL3000 yeah, totally agree with you

[RSultimecia102]

still looks abit laggy :/

[vic70cent]

with this conputer u can get fps if u set it ride

[G00g284]

Kolly type in Microsoft flight simulator on a $ 500 computer shud I type tht in on amazon the specs. And is it a good 1. :) thx

[Kollyzz]

well, a good computer could be the Dell XPS 430 or Dell XPS 8000

[G00g284]

Oh and does the computer info u gave me add up to be around £250 - 300./. $460 - 550. Thx buddy

[sushiboy805]

for some reason the GTX 260 have txture issues in fsx

I have one and i cant find a fix

[G00g284]

Don't kno how to build computers mate what shud I type into a website for a computer thy plays fsx good with no lag and good graphics. I will only b using it for fsx surfin Internet and 1 or 2 online games mate tryna get 1 for christmas that's around 250 to 300 pounds in English money appreciate if u answer thx m8

[G00g284]

Anyone answer?

[Kollyzz]

@G00g284 if you know how to build a computer, you can choose the hardware you want and then built a custom pc.

[Kollyzz]

A good computer has got:

- a Quad Core CPU (Intel Q9xxx series or the newer i5 and i7 series)

- a good motherboard (gigabyte, asus,...)

- at least 4 GB of ram (ddr2 or ddr3)

- a good graphic card (nvidia gtx260, GTX275 or ati 4870, 5850, 5870)

- a good power supply

[fsx20022004]

hi. i read the comment and do these specs look good:

windows 7 home premium 64-bit

Q9400 2.66GHz

Nvidia GeForce 9800GX2 1GB

2X2 4GB RAM DDR2 (800MHz each)

500GB SATA Hard Drive

850WATT power supply

Gigabyte G41-SM2L motherboard

i also heard that SP1 for fsx improves performance by 50% on most PC's, will that mean i will have more framerates? thanks!

[Kollyzz]

Those specs look good. Probably I would go for nvidia geforce gtx260 or gtx275 (they are newer than the 9800gx2) or ati 5850.

SP1 improves performance because it takes advantages from multicore systems, so you will have more framerates.

[fsx20022004]

sorry but i already built the computer now, but ive heard that though the 9800GX2 is older, it has similar FPS to the GTx275 and GTX280

[Kollyzz]

yes the 9800gx2, because it's a dual card, it gives similar performance and has almost the same FPS to the GTX2xx series. However nice computer :)

[XxL33ZOxX]

Yeah im getting a new computer i think it will run fsx a little better:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit

Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz

Nvidia GeForce GTX275 1GB

6 GB DDR3 (2x3GB)

500 GB SAT Hard Drive

900 W Power Supply

X58 Motherboard (dunno which one)

Do you think it will run FSX any better???

[Kollyzz]

yes, it will run a lot better i think. If you look on youtube for FSX videos made with Intel Core i7 you can see improvements. FSX performs better because i7 has more bandwidth.

Another important thing:

Higher cpu clock = more performance

[fsx20022004]

yes that would hell be much better! windows 7 is a faster OS than vista giving you more framerates. the intel I7 will definatly kick in because it has 6 or 8 cores i think, making performance much faster.the GPU is also a very good benchmark and that 1GB extra GPU ram will make it run smooth. 6GB ram...well you dont really need that much but it will do enough. as for everything else yep its good enough. if those specs youll have a beast computer! (lucky bastard LOL just kidding!)

[Kollyzz]

lol, i7 has 4 physical cores but it has also HyperThreading technology which makes it a quadcore cpu with 8 logical units.

[fsx20022004]

yeah but i cant believe that though the I7 is faster than the I5, the I5 is more expensive LOL!

[Kollyzz]

i5 came out later than the i7. The i7 920 probably costs less because it was the first i7 to come out.. and probably intel is now going to replace this one soon.

[technologyinfo]

just a tad! LOL!

[G00g284]

Can u give me a description of a good pc for fsx i can type in to amazon or ebay that can play this game real good and use the internet good etc: + it has to be under £250 Thx + i sub'd

[G00g284]

or any good website

[airplaneman121]

i noticed you have a little lag i never get lag and i have about ur specs except for my i7

[Kollyzz]

@airplaneman121 yes, that lag is actually because of fraps recording

[airplaneman121]

ohhh y do people use fraps i guess because of the quality but do you know if fsrecorder is good?

[stefke72yamaha]

fsrecorder is for recording your flights not for making vids of them.

[airplaneman121]

ohh really but cant you stop recording?

[stefke72yamaha]

record your flight with fsrecorder ,then you'll have to replay it and record it with fraps

[airplaneman121]

ohh ok

[Kollyzz]

yes, i use fsrecorder to replay my flights and then i record them with fraps

[airplaneman121]

Specs below

intel core i7-920 at 4.00 ghz

nvidia geforce gtx 260 w/ 1.8 gb of memory

12gb ddr3 ram

1tb 7200 rpm hard drive

[nikkobelictube]

what your configuration ?

[acezboy561]

You need your CPU overclocked. Graphics Card isnt very powerful.

[lkn118]

i m planning to buy a new computer...

-Q9550, 4GB corsair xms2 ram, asus p5q motherboard and asus engts250 graphic card. can i get high fps?

[Kollyzz]

Q9550 is really a good cpu, but now probably you should look for the newer Intel Core i5 cpus. They cost about the same as the old Q9550 but they have more features.

[sk8drumdie0116]

Just go for a core i7 920.

[gpruitt54]

It looks like you are using one of the ground environment programs. Are you? If so, which on(s) do you use? It looks great. Currently using an Intel E8400 clocked to 3.8. Been looking at the Q9550. this video has sold me on the Q9550. Is this the PMDG 747?

[Kollyzz]

no, i use the default fsx ground environment. I was using the default 747, not the PMDG one (for me it's too difficult to use that one XD). Btw, the Q9550 is really a good cpu. :D

[Deadmeat996]

did you have any trouble installing fsx on your machine, mine is similar and a month old and i keep gettin a 1335 error when installing

[Kollyzz]

no problems. Probably you are having some problems with the InstallShield application. Try to clean your registry with some programs such as CCleaner.

[EdwardLaiPY]

why have some lag...

[Intelpentium54321]

hows the frames at like lax and things? Please I was thinking of getting this cpu

[LuftfahrtFan]

you've said how many FPS you get. do you get these FPS when you filming with fraps? or when you don't filming?

[wstcyd2]

doesnt every1 build ther own comp in this day n age.

[Intelpentium54321]

I get 15 to 20 in busy airports anyway with a 9800gtx+...and an E5200 overclocked..

[tekcomputing]

I Know you gave your hardware information but can you give me your pc name and tell me whether it is a laptop or a desktop pc

[wstcyd2]

pc name? obviously its a desktop. laptops suck with games

[Kollyzz]

it's a custom build :)

[Kollyzz]

it's a desktop. It's a custom build, so it doesnt have a name. I bought all the hardware from the internet and I built my system.

[xbadjeroenx]

I only like the a321 standard a litlebit

[xbadjeroenx]

stupid standard planes :P

[amin654]

hahah this guys system would get fried if he went to aerosoft mega airport frankfurt witha pmdg 747 hahah

[mortallove12]

nice

[eatmypixelsman]

video cap programs hog fps too. my i5 & 4890 gets 50-65fps @ 1920x1080, AA & anisotropic filtering in DX9. However if i enable DX10 it loses 10-15 frames straight away. So in my case DX9 is the prefered option. Maybe its coz i have all the settings up on high though, high traffic & complexity.

[Szab0729]

if you want to achieve better fps, you should enable the "preview directX 10" option, it will fully utilize your quad cpu. I have e8200 run at 3.66GHz and hd4850, when I use dx9 I get around 15-20 on ground and 30-50 in the air with cpu not really utilized at all and gpu utilized 99%, when I enable dx10 I get 25-40 ground and above in the air, also cpu fully utilized and gpu running at 60% and I use a lot of addons like REX, UTX Europe, GEX USA etc...

[Szab0729]

and disable anti-aliasing in FSX and enable it in the nvidia driver, set it to 4X or if your card can handle it crank it up a bit more, my experience was better image quality with more FPS

[Kollyzz]

i will try it, probably i'm getting low fps also because i didnt disable Intel Speedstep from bios.

[RikMSFS]

Very good quality!!!!!

[cooly02]

dude overclock your cpu :)

you really do get a better frame rate :)

[Kollyzz]

i use the intel cooler, do i need a better one? could i reach 3.2 - 3.4 ghz without increasing vcore and without changing cooler?

[cooly02]

you can overclock to 3.3 ghz without a problem mate :)

just try if it gets too hot then go to 3.2 ghz

find out witch is the best for you but im 100 % shure you can overclock to 3.2 without a problem dude :)

[KKOPPI]

this simulator is SO good, it really gives you aviation feeling ;)

but how many fps did you get?

[Kollyzz]

yes it is :) but it needs a lot of power to run well. On my pc i get about 15-20 fps in busy airports and >30 fps in the sky (i use DX9)

[KKOPPI]

ok and in very busy airports with heavy weather with heavy rain and thunderstorm and traffic 100% with traffic add-ons and weather add-ons?

[cjellwood]

remove SP2 and rely on only SP1 to improve smoothness. Yes, SP2 is gay so remove it

[Kollyzz]

really? what's wrong with SP2? I have FSX then I installed SP1 and then Acceleration Pack (SP2 was included with the expansion).

[cjellwood]

myself and a friend recently did a series of bench tests with FSX. We found that SP2 / Acceleration caused problems. Frames decrease with SP2 only but smoothness is better with just SP1 installed

[Kollyzz]

oh i see, i will try (also because i like use commercial jets XD).

[cjellwood]

nothing to lose, you can always reinstall expansion if you dont like difference. SP1 is the basic update for using multiple cores. It is a shame because expansion has the added sound config to allow ATC over seperate sound device i.e headphones :(

[Kollyzz]

i see, thanks for your information ;)

[1littlelee]

lol thats what i get with a 4850 and PII X4 955

[mahadbaba09]

intel core 2 duo

3.00 ghz

4 gb ram

250 gb hdd

nvidia geforce 9400 gt is enough to run fsx smootly as yours?

[Kollyzz]

Upgrade video card (at least 9800gt/gts 250) or you'll have to turn down the graphics settings. The cpu is good

[1littlelee]

the GTX250 is a 9800GT+ repackaged they are indentical!

[Kollyzz]

yes GTS250 = 9800GTX+ (same chip, same memory specs)

[odxt1995]

didn't overclock the proccesor for this video rite? it's at stock right?

[Kollyzz]

Yes, I didn't overclock. So it's at stock clock (2.8 GHz)

[Willanhanyard]

How many FPS do you get? Thanks!

[Kollyzz]

thanks :D the gtx260 is also the best nvidia gaming card for its price ^^

[HELPITSSTUCK]

this game looks like poop. no need for hd at all.

[vlastimilsimkoenglan]

you pc runs it better than mine cause i have laptop with only small specs but on your pc it looks more animated then realistic on the bigining specialy wit the wing view btw good video

[yoto5951]

how many fps do you get on fsx? because maybe i buy this processor

[Kollyzz]

When i'm in the sky at cruising altitude i have from 30 to 60 FPS. When I'm on busy airports framerate drops down from 15-20 FPS.

[1981z28camaro]

I'm gonna be building the same system, but I wanna go with DDR3 ram, you think DDR3 is worth it? also know of any good ddr3 mobos?

I already have a EVGA GTX 260 Superclocked, but I wanna use 3D vision.... would I need a better video card, or should I just SLI? thnx!

[Kollyzz]

I think you should see the price of DDR3. I have got Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 and they're very good (i got them for about 40 euros). Personally I would get DDR2 unless you decide to get the Intel i7. For 3D vision I don't know. For me, a single GTX260 is enough for gaming.

[1981z28camaro]

yeah, I'd be going Core i7 920, and you really need to check out 3D vision, the card you have, the same one I have, has 3D Vision, you can set it up to use crappy red & blue glasses, to see what it would look like, it's pretty cool. So now I HAVE to get the proper glasses and monitor, haha

[Kollyzz]

lol, so you mean that you can look 4D cinema at home with 3D vision? cool :D

[1981z28camaro]

it depends if it was originally shot or rendered at 2 different angles. (Most games are of course) :-)

[IndianSettler]

Are you flying in Mumbai?

[sbbw7]

Pretty poor considering the hardware you have, if this is all what the GTX260 can offer, which is bumby frame rate (just look at the background when you take off), then no thanks, I need a much better card than this.

[sbbw7]

Just look at 0:55 the buildings in the background move anything but smooth.

[Kollyzz]

Actually the gtx260 is a good card. The gtx275 and the gtx285 from nvidia give almost the same performance in benchmarks and the gtx295 (which is 2x260s in sli) is too expensive. The problem is that fsx is very cpu demanding, just try to increase or decrease the traffic and you will see the difference. The gtx260 can handle it well to maximum, check my other video in which i disabled AI traffic.

[sbbw7]

"The problem is that fsx is very cpu demanding"

I don't believe a word of that. First of all, you have a Q9550 that's already quite faster than a regular Q6600 and secondly, FSX is optimized for multi cores. The extra traffic is hardly something that should affect performance with that kind of power, unlike physics calculations in games like GTA IV which is tons of times more processor hungry.

[Kollyzz]

well, probably not very cpu demanding but not well optimized too, have you tried to run fsx on your pc? have you seen other videos on youtube running fsx on gtx260 with a quad core cpu? and by the the way fraps eats frames and movie maker encoded the video @ 25 fps. GTA IV runs well @ ~30 FPS with high graphics.

[thatoneyoungguy]

well you're a dumbass for not believing a word of that, and traffic has a huge impact on performance, go do some research before you post any more stupid comments

[111olbap]

My guess is he hasnt overclocked his Quad core and doesnt know how to optimise settings

[Ikilledyou123]

LOL its cpu based game so a better cpu would definatly help this frame rate, plus! hes using fraps which kills the cpu usage

[DonkeyBonrProduction]

no its kills the HDD usage and gpu usuage

[wardy92]

it just kills fps when running fraps hard drive and cpu activity are fine and im running the same cpu and gpu as this guy

[DonkeyBonrProduction]

no, it's the hard drive and gpu. i have the same thing. q9550 @ 4ghz, gtx 260 etc... unless you have 8gb of ram to eliminate page filing, fraps eats the hell out of the hdd and gpu

[wardy92]

u dont even need 8gb of ram 4gb is good enough games done even need that to run

[overclockerfx]

if you keep your computer clean of extra background programs 2GB will be more than enough on any OS IMO.

[wardy92]

games like gta use 3gb atleast on any system

[overclockerfx]

unlikely but I haven't tried...

[wardy92]

only going off what task manager and cpu/memory usage gauges state

[Kollyzz]

i will try to see gta IV memory usage

[patrickmanning94]

Hi, Great video dude.

I have the exact same setup exept you have a better graphics card. Mine is runnin as smoth as silk.

my only question is, when you hit the ground to land, that part of the wing lifted up to slow u down, how do you do that, because I need to know, thanks!

[Kollyzz]

thank you.

the part of the wing at 7:10 is called "spoiler" and it is used during a fast descent and after touchdown in order to slowdown the aircraft. If you look at "spoilers" in FSX Help Guide you'll see how to use them.

The video is a bit laggy because i recorded with Fraps (which eats a lot of framerates), however i can run it smooth too during normal gameplay.

[tomoko80521]

Really looks good! ..Could you tell us where ( City/Airport ) you're flying out of/in to ??

Thanks

[Kollyzz]

I was flying around London Heathrow airport with B747, A321.

At #t=7m51s with the B737 takeoff it's Kennedy Intl (New York).

[Kollyzz]

However, I added the airport info in the description..

[tomoko80521]

Thanks  ...If I could trouble ya just a bit more ...what were your FSX settings & what kind of of framerates were you getting at each Airport/City area?

Thanks again

[Kollyzz]

The aircraft and the clouds quality were at ultra high. The scenery was on high. Autogen at normal and traffic on medium.

The framerates were about 20 at the airport (with clear sky). When I was flying at high altitude the framerate increased (>30).

Frames drop when I change the weather to rainy.

[tiemji]

Quality is amazing. That's why i call good preformance in FSX. Wish all the vids were like that

[Kollyzz]

Thank you. When I download more addons and aircrafts, I'll post other videos.
