Fsx amd

[Znia]

Hi, I currently play fsx I am trying to get more fps and i need a solution until i upgrade next year summer, i just bought a new graphics card amd R9 270 and i regret not going the nvidia way, but i plan to upgrade to a i7 4790k. If you have a similar system or a amd system please help.

 

My Specs are:

Amd R9 270

Amd A6-3670k@2.7ghz

Gigabyte A55-DS2

6Gb ram 1333mhz

There's not much you can do to "get more fps" honestly.

You can't do anything other than upgrade your system

ok

so do you get good frames with the fx8320 amd r9 270

Yea, the FX-8320 is a pretty good CPU. I have the FX-8320 also paired with an R9 270. I can play BF4 on Ultra preset (1080P), around 45 average FPS.

Lower the graphical settings (could potentially gain a good few frames) turning AA down/off (if you're using it) is a good place to start.

 

You could overclock your GPU but don't expect a massive gain from it.

what about with fsx if you play it

@AlwaysFSX I will from now on mention you every time there is a thread about FSX, because of your username. Enjoy.

Use the quote button or people won't know you replied to them.

Get the DX10 fixer and run the the DX10 preview mode. I doubled my frame rate.

 

You'll need a new CPU and faster memory for raw performance in DX9.

Join the club of other people that do that.

Flight simulator is much faster on Intel. Poor core usage, old game and you are limited to how fast you are on those cores (and it is like a 1 core game). I7 k will not do anything for you over an I5 k unless the clock is higher. Overclocking helps.

 

Here are single core benchmarks from users on LTT on Cinebench R15 on a bunch of chips. The higher that number is, the better the game is going to run.

I7 can be slightly faster in some newer game (but not much), and renders faster (can click the multicore benchmarks). Also a nice chip if you stream or record gameplay. You could go with the G3258, but that thing will struggle in newer games in the coming years. It would prob be great in FSX on a high overclock though and the cheapest possible option to run the game well.
