Garry Morris 920567 Posted October 1, 2008 at 02:27 PM Posted October 1, 2008 at 02:27 PM FS9 or FSX? http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Perry Posted October 1, 2008 at 05:20 PM Posted October 1, 2008 at 05:20 PM Opinion: The system described should blow FS9 out of the water. Perhaps I'm not the most discerning user, but my E6300 CPU and 7900GS graphics card run FS9 as well as I would ever need. If you're on a budget and are not considering FSX until your next build, you could save some money on this go around. I'd put the extra $$$ in the stock market... you'll get more excitement out of watching your portfolio oscillate wildly than you will from the extra frames above 50fps.

Jorge Maldonado 974449 Posted October 8, 2008 at 04:18 AM Author Posted October 8, 2008 at 04:18 AM Thanks for your answers!...well the basic issue here is that I always fly connected to VATSIM using Active Sky and FS P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]enger, including the software report program for the virtual airline where I fly...also using heavy sceneries... Which undoubtedly give FS9 an extra charge (not to mention in fsx, thats why I dont use it).... specially when there are some really crowded fly-inn's where your computer can freeze! I also have heard about WIDEfs..do you think it will be a good tool to use for increasing performance by running these other programs in another computer?
