FSX Extreme: DX10 / Core i7

http://www.jaggyroadfilms.com

Whipped up a little ditty in a couple of hours showing the potential of DX10 and the Intel Core i7 processor. I think you will all agree that what can be done in FSX is just now being tapped. The new processing bandwidth of the Core i7 gives FSX the ability to stretch it's legs and show what is indeed possible with video editing.

Computer Stats:
Intel 1366 Core i7 920 2.66GHz (overclocked to 3.8GHz)
3GB Kingston DDR3-2000 running at 1866Hz, 8-8-8-27
BFGTech Nvidia 8800GTX w/ 768MB DDR2 VRAM
EVGA X58 SLI motherboard
Windows Vista 64 Ultimate

Addons:
VancouverPlus+ from FSAddon
RealAir Scout Package

Processor overclocking can destroy your processor right?

[valkyrie321]

@FSXFan1090 it certainly puts strain on your processor that would not normally be induced, yes. Only someone who knows what they are doing should proceed forward in doing such, as the negative result could be destroyed hardware.

dude, u need DX11!!!

- noob gfx DX10

[valkyrie321]

@MrWonnabee dood u noob, fsx only goes to dx10. OMG.

Calling people noobs is annoying. Don't do it. You should also have a bit more information before saying such silly things.

We are not far from games having realflow for water and smoke particles like in 3ds max or blender and proper physics. Not long my friends, forgot to mention and have photo realistic for graphics
