Eliot Winchell 1188982 Posted April 7, 2011 at 12:24 AM Posted April 7, 2011 at 12:24 AM Hey guys. I have a pretty sweet PC, but when I try to play FSX on it, it lags every 2 seconds. I'm running it on medium high settings. My PC has 4Gb of RAM, an ATI radeon HD5570 1GB graphics card, a 3.04 GHZ quad core processor, and an MSI Motherboard. What's the problem? I tried running FSX on really low settings and it would still lag once every 2 seconds. Thanks, Eliot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Khanna Posted April 13, 2011 at 09:50 PM Posted April 13, 2011 at 09:50 PM Hi Eliot, Did you try checking for the latest drivers for your graphics card ? Flight Simulator X is very picky about its systems. It could run perfectly on a Core 2 Duo at 2.4Ghz and run like [Mod - lovely stuff] on a system like yours or mine which are identical and far superior than a C2D. However, selecting the right hardware goes a long way in making sure everything works with each other and gives you the best out of your system. Try updating your graphic card drivers, free up some of your speed by stopping unwanted programs from working in the background and keep your frames per second in FSX to a limited amount. To view your FPS during game play, press Shift + Z, twice I believe. Hope it works. If not, throw a message here and we'll try to work through some other solutions.

But, the actual problem you're describing sounds like a 'STUTTER' and it's usually a problem with CPU performance or HDD performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the same card and get decent frames/second at the busiest of airports. According to me, its the latter part of your advise. The CPU and/or HDD performance.
