Dear readers,
I would like to improve my performance for my favorite game: FSX.
My system:
- Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 iP55
- Intel Core i7 860 2.8GHz 2.5GT/s Box
- OCZ 4x2GB DDR3 PC10666 CL7.0 Platin. LV
- MSI Videokaart PCI-e GeForce GTX275 Lightning 1.8GB DVI/HDMI
- OCZ GameXStream 700W
- Samsung 1TB SATA300 32MB, HD103UJ
Recently, I purchased a Noctua NH-D14 cooler and succesfully overclocked my i7 860 to ~ 4GHz. Still, I am not happy with the FSX performance. I play FSX with a few add-ons, such as: PMDG 737NGX, Ultimate terrain X, Some Aerosoft sceneries as well as the IVAP online multiplayer. Also, I did the standard FSX tweaks ( such as
[DISPLAY] TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40
[GRAPHICS]
TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096
[Main]
FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.15 and more)
Current performance: I run FSX at a mega airport with all sliders maxed out (but not slides such as the light boom) at ~ 11- FPS.
Goal: I would like to run FSX at a mega airport with all sliders maxed out at ~ 20+ FPS.
I have some thoughts how I can improve my performance:
1. Buy a SATA6 SSD ( such as the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB). If i am correct, I do also have to buy a new motherboard in order to improve the transfer rate of data.
2. I am not sure but my RAM frequency might be a bottleneck (1066MHz), So maybe buy other RAM?
Can you tell me if my thoughts make sense and what you think is the bottleneck of my System?
Many thanks,
Jasper
