Kyle Hatch 980169 Posted May 6, 2011 at 09:04 PM Posted May 6, 2011 at 09:04 PM Hi everyone! I have the nVidia geforce 9800GT 1024MB and when I try to max out the graphic settings via nHancer, FS9 starts to stutter real bad. Could my Mobo be slowing down my graphics card? Or is that even possible? I have the Intel DG965RY board and my specs are: Windows 7 64 bit Intel E2200 @2.2Ghz 4GB DDR2 Dual Channel RAM nVidia geForce 9800GT 1024MB I am looking at getting a new mobo anyways so I can OC my CPU and hopefully get better performance out of my CPU. Is it true that a new Mobo will run faster? I have never gone shopping for a Mobo, so I am kind of lost when it comes to them. Thanks guys!

Wycliffe Barrett Posted May 6, 2011 at 09:57 PM Posted May 6, 2011 at 09:57 PM Hi You have to remember or take into account that most Mobo's and Intel cpu's are matched, the best way forward would be to doa google search for mobo's against your chip. The e2200 is getting a little long in thetooth now and perhaps ou might be better off saving a few more bucks and going for a total mobo,cpu ram upgrade. i had forgotten unless you do good research yu may find thatyor ram might not even fit a new board.

Abdelrahman M. Elfeky 1044 Posted May 7, 2011 at 12:13 PM Posted May 7, 2011 at 12:13 PM I would suggest on you to save some money and build a new system , C2D are just too old to handle anything nowadays and Intel and AMD are pushing a very nice line of middle performance CPU's. Going with AMD will get you a better overall value but intel will bring in more technologies and overclocking capabilities to the table. Suggested lines would be P55 and nice i5 750 combination (up to $250-280) - AMD 880or890 series with a nice 955 or 965 (up to $200-250).

Luke Kolin Posted May 7, 2011 at 08:28 PM Posted May 7, 2011 at 08:28 PM I would suggest on you to save some money and build a new system , C2D are just too old to handle anything nowadays Pardon???? 1) A Core 2 Duo ran FS9 with excellent performance when the Core 2 Duo was released. 2) The performance of a Core 2 Duo has not changed since its manufacture. 3) The hardware requirements of FS9 have not changed. 4) Ergo, a Core 2 Duo should run FS9 just fine. Kyle, what resolution are you attempting to run FS9 at? I killed my FS9 performance once by installing a new monitor - it changed the screen resolution and forced my GPU to render 4x as many pixels. Fortunately my new CPU arrived the next day (a Core 2 Duo, no less!) and all was well. Cheers! Luke ... I spawn hundreds of children a day. They are daemons because they are easier to kill.

I was thinking the same thing. Back in the day, those processors were the ones to get. I am running my resolution at 1280x1024 x32 which is the "native" resolution on my monitor. Would you recommend getting a new mobo and then OC the E2200 and see what performance I get before looking into the E6700? I can't OC with the board I've got now. Thanks Luke!
