Ati 5870 Fsx @ 3.8ghz i7 920

A flight over Vancouver using REX 2.0, Ultimate Traffic 2 and Ground Environment X USA/Canada. Resolution is 1080p, with most settings at max or close to. I set the weather to real-world with max cloud coverage to show that the 5870 has no problems rendering clouds in FSX. I used the Catalyst tools to deal with the AA, AF etc. Traffic is at 55%. Feel free to comment or ask questions.

what's your PSU? If i decide to go to a higher PSU will I have to get a different motherboard?

[Steve31000]

@MrThomasHandley My PSU is a Corsair 950 Watts. You'll need this with your dual GPU which I remember you saying you had so therefore you should have something of this calibar that came with your rig, no?

[MrThomasHandley]

@Steve31000 I'm pretty sure it's an 1100 watt PSU, not sure of the brand though.

[Steve31000]

@MrThomasHandley 1100 watt is more than enough. Normally you shouldn't need to change the PSU for a new motherboard. It should be a standard socket connection.

I also have the ati 5870, what settings are you using for AA and FSA in ati ccc? how are your fps?

please take a look at my vid too :p

[Steve31000]

@nabarundevreeze I use wide-tent on full for AA and adaptive multisampling. Supersampling destroys fps. I checked out your videos and they are a great. I have one tip for you. Ati cards do not like fraps under DX9 and hence why you get visible lower fps in your movies. I found by accidednt that when you run under DX10 Fraps has absolutely no impact and you loose no fps. So when making a movie (or parts of it) use DX10 to record with fraps.

@manbal100 No. GTX 460 better than only 5830.

[manbal100]

IS a GTX 460 better than a ATI 5870 ?

[Latvietis96]

[Eirwan95]
