Its sad to see a grown man cry, really, but I couldn't help it seeing FSX running at 10fps on my PC. Yup, 10. I cranked EVERYTHING high and this thing chugged like a 486SX (see who remembers THAT). This game is ridiculous. :?
Anyways, any Microsoft FSX users (actual users please) that care to share what settings work best for you, and on what hardware are you running it?   Please include:
Resolution?
Filtering option?
Anti-aliasing?
Graphics level global?
Turning auto-gen completely off seems to have the best impact on improving performance, but I want to compare my settings. At 2560x1600x32, AA on, filtering bilinear, HDR off, auto gen off, I do about
120-140fps in minimal
90-100 fps in very low
50-60fps in low
40-45 fps in medium low
25-35 fps in medium high
15-20 fps in high
10-13 fps in ultra-high
Lowering the resolution doesn't help things much, and SLI is pretty much useless. It runs the same with or without it, so this does not seem to be a graphics bottleneck. Any ideas will be appreciated!
