Achilles, what's in your new PC?

Matt Olieman

Specs.

Case : Thermatech with watercooling
Motherboard : Asus rampage extreme
CPU : QX9770
RAM : DDR3 1600Mhz 2Gig
Disk : 2 x velicraptor SATA II 300Gig
GPU : 1 x 4870x2

The cpu is overclocked for now to 3,8Ghz. Just entered the bios and made the multiplier from 8 to 9.5 x 400. I did not read yet the motherboard manual and how to make it 4 or 4,4 Ghz. Anyway the temperature remains bellow 40 at full load.

I did not yet optimize the ati card with the latest drivers.
I did not yet defrag my pc.

So, all the bellow frames that I mentioned before will belong in the past in the next few hours. I am saying that I will get better of cource.

Finally FSX is for breakfast with the QX9770.

I will prepare a video with fraps asap.

Hi,

I return to XP. Vista DX10 with 3-add ons (Aerosoft) does not work.

I'm rooting for you, " GO Achilles!!!!!!"

Achilles,

Are you using th2go in stretch mode when you took these figures or was it just the one monitor solution. What graphics card are u using.

[Mr. Midnight]

if i had 1300 dollars i might go out and buy the chip.
and that aint including all the go withs.

so this will make FSX the most expensive game in history to go out and buy a com just to run it at a above normal pace.
and i would , but will that mean when FS11 comes out , and you know it will demand that i go out and upgrade again.

because The Intel QX9770 will be old news next week , and a super QX 10000 will be out.


so i guess i have to decide if im a geek or a sim pilot

heh heh heh

Achilles,

Are you using th2go in stretch mode when you took these figures or was it just the one monitor solution. What graphics card are u using.

Currently tests made with 1920 x 1080 resolutions. But 4870x2 shows the power from this resolution and above (5760 x 1080 three views). And do not forget. I did not yet installed the second one (crossfire). And reading the ati forums, officially they say that the power of the card still remains slow due to drives. They expect 30..40% more power in the next drivers.

At lease I resolved the problem with the slutters. With the qx9770 I am able to turn every setting to the right (Please give an FSX SP3 with more settings)

Now, the only think to do is to install the second card and see the results. Of course all those with Vista 64bit and DX9 (Not DX10 because of problems with add-ons) but I will try also in XP 32 bit to see what OS will go finally.
