i7 3770k Geforce Titan H100i

hi folks,

after struggling many years with the settings in fsx i had enough. 

first i tried bojote: shifted my fsx from no-go to not so bad anymore

then came Kosta: another move forward. even the best tweaks i came across. but his article about the gtx 580/680/Titan comparison infected my mind...

...and i went out to buy:

i7 3770k

Asus P8Z77V

Asus Geforce Titan

Corsair H100i

installed all addons i had (e.g. aerosoft airbus x extended; GSX; REX; FSPassenger; etc) and did Kostas Tweaks in the fsx.cfg. just for fun i turned all settings in the fsx to max....wow!!! finally 30fps stable in real weather or thunderstorm on maxed out airport settings and 80% woai traffic (all gates busy). 30fps up in the air with 2048 clouds no dx5. 

It's a real eye opener. finally fsx looks like it should have done all the way. I7 is overclocked to 4.5 and hyperthreading turned off. Geforce Titan has even standard settings. It flies through the clouds like it doesn't seem to care...30fps limiter on. amazing. 

if you like, i can send you my fsx.cfg and other settings. Will post some later. 

next addons will be pmdg777 and ftx global. 

can't stop smiling
