X-plane 9 on a triple monitor Apple Mac Pro 12 Core

Testing the pretty bad frame rate when expanding X-plane 9 over 3 x 27" Cinema displays. The frame rate is poor and there is no question that this runs so much better on PC hardware but it is fun to try and run it on the Mac Pro. The desktop of the 3x screens is over 11MP so needs a lot of HP to run. Video cards are ATI 5870 for center monitor and ATI 5770 for the two external monitors

@krazykap0 Yes nothing to do with CPU or RAM, video is all down to the video cards

[nickmurray22]

@TheKazable Yes it runs so much better on my PC but the Mac Pro is not really a games machine

[nickmurray22]

@13TeNNiStA13 Why not? The more screens the better : )

Are your monitors mounted or sitting on the desk?

[nickmurray22]

@TechGuyTomorrow You can never have enough ram or storage for stuff like video editing

[TechGuyTomorrow]

@nickmurray22 Why the heck would you need 64 gb of ram? And 9,512 gb of storage?
