Graphics

[Jedipie]

People always say xp runs good on low end computers but mine doesn't lol. I have a decent computer. I play fsx all on max. I've heard that it runs better than fsx but not what I've seen. I always get the haze and crappy frames. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Michael

You need to post more information about your system to receive any real help.

At a guess I would say your OpenGL driver is out of date.

As a second guess I would say that your machine might have an Intel CrayolaProcessingUnit (sorry, they simply don't count as GPU's).

Update your driver, turn down your settings.

The biggest killer in X-Plane can be world detail and detail distances.

I have a new MacBook Pro with moderate GPU and VRAM and I have a very nice config that gives me 50fps+ everywhere.

I'm not really to familiar with computer hardware but here's some specs.

Intel quad core Q8400 2.66ghz

Nvidia 8800gts

3gb ram

That's all the major stuff I know

Oh and I turned all the settings real low and it stays the same

Well, it's definitiley a real GPU.

I'm not a Windows person anymore so the others may chime in with other advice.

Are you running Vista 64bit?

...bottom line, you should definitely get a better experience out of your machine.

I'm running Windows 7 32bit.

And I know I should haha

Throw up a screenshot of your Settings tab in x-plane.

Could be your AA or AF.
