(note: I do NOT overclock ANY of my hardware.) I just wish I could get the light bloom to work with DX10! Well, wait… it does slow back down to sub 30 fps ranges in NYC/Manhattan, but that’s about the only location that gives me trouble. At the worst, my frame rate never goes below 35. (Autogen scenery at “Very Dense” for everything and even with 40% road traffic.) I can crank up all cloud and texture settings to max, 8x AF, 8x AA, water set to 2.x med (I don’t like the look of 2.x high), and terrain mesh right about in the middle of the slider. In DX10 mode, it’s like an entirely new simulator! Frame rates above 50 most of the time with details in the medium-high range. I have the exact opposite result with Windows 7 and DX9, which runs MUCH slower than DX10 mode for me! I get about 20-25 fps on average in DX9 mode, with most details on the medium-low side. While with Vista FSX ran considerably faster under DX10 than DX9 (with a few caveats), with Win7 it seems to run faster than DX10/Vista when in DX9 mode! Even with the water reflection factor set to 2.High (reflections of the terrain mesh on the water), there seems to be only a small impact on frame rates.įlying around Seattle used to give me around 10/11 FPS, but now I can stay around 18 with very good visuals. For some reason I thought let’s try it on DX9 mode – and wow, what a huge difference that made. There did not seem to be much difference – in fact it seemed to run a little slower if anything. I started by setting all the FSX sliders to the same I had under Vista (DX10, most things in the ‘very high’ range).

#Fsx gold edition windows 8 Pc#
I installed Win7 (RTM) on my desktop PC to give it a try. With FSX however, often the standard ‘gamer tweaks’ do not actually affect performance, because it has a fairly odd architecture compared to most games – so I was wondering if Win7 would actually mean anything for FSX performance. Lately there has been a lot of talk about how Windows 7 will run faster than Vista, and how this should be great for gamers (apparently it runs a little faster than XP did). If you are running a modern (post 2010) PC, you can get a huge performance boost by using the free CFG modification tool from Bojote here. This article also applies to FSX Steam Edition.
