FPS flagging but CPU/gpu not maxed?

Why would my FPS in Fsx reduce to the 15-20 range when my CPU and GPU are not maxed out?

 

I ran a Prime95 stress test with all 4 cores of my i5 3570k OCed to 4.3GHz peaking at 80C. In FSX core 1 hits 56C but no higher. Other cores are near idle, as expected I suppose.

 

My GPU only reached 60% according to nVidia Inspector. It's only a gtx 650, but it is not reaching it's potential it seems.

 

FSX is on a SSD and I was flying in circles over NYC skyline, so I wasn't getting any buffering.

Have you installed SP2 or do you have acceleration?

 

Cheers!

Sp2. Also used the fsx cfg tweak web service by bajote... Or some name like that. I forget at the moment.
