PC Upgrades

My upgrade is already 2 months old.  :-[

C2D E8400 3.0GHz @3.6GH

2x2GB DDR2 1066MHz CL9

Zotac GTX260 AMP! (216)

SB i5-2500k 3.3GHz @ 4.5GHz

4x2GB DDR3 1333MHz CL7

MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr II OC @ 850MHz/2100MHz/1.05V

But X-Plane doesn't care about that. Same FPS, still low autogen objects.

Hopefully XP10 comes out soon.

Nova, I suspect your CPU is the bottleneck, I'll tell u my improvements, if any, after ep. 2! Ive heard that xplane is more cpu intensive, exactly why i got an i7 2 yrs ago and still love it. I had a gtx275, still have it sitting in my kitchen, so sad..I might hook it up to my SNES.

How fast is your CPU? I'm at 2.8 GHz.

How can a QuadCore at 4.5GHz and a boost up to 4.8GHz on a single core be the bottleneck?  :D

I do not have the equipment here to get it to work on 5.6GHz :( Would need either watercooling or dry ice.  :o  :D

But i'm pretty optimistic, that i can have a good amout of objects with XP10.

The bigger problem is VRAM. 1280MB is just way not enough. Any game i have, can't even break the 800MB barrier on max, but XP9 uses everything even with compression, and planes like the Dash are unusable with HighRez textures.

Next time i'll buy a card with 3GB VRAM or more, although they are slower than those with less VRAM.
