Whats wrong with my sysytem

[Physics70]

Hello,

I am so frustrated. I cant get more than 11 frames per second on FSX. That is with 3D clouds turned off. I thought I could run FSX on Max settings by now. Here is my setup;

AMD PhenoM II Black Edition 965 3.4 GHz
4 GB RAM
2 X GFX 280 OC in SLI
Windows 7 64 bit someone help. I thought I upgraded so I could Run FSX with ultra high Graphics. Do I need another system? As I understand FSX runs better while NOT in SLI mode so I disable it. Any suggestions to get 50 fps

Also did you try disabling SLI?

What about your HDD? Could be a bad file.

Doubtful that it would run sluggishly without error from a corrupted file. You could try a repair operation on the program, but I doubt that'll fix anything.

Also did you try disabling SLI?

He said so in the OP.

I'm more willing to attribute his lockups to overheat and the low performance in FFX to a incompatibility somewhere in the system.

Have you attempted to contact Microsoft Games to check for known issues with your hardware?

Ok, let me go down the list.

I have adjusted the autogn.
I did disable the SLI (for that program) You know how the Nividia station will let you specify which program uses which set up.
I have done a complete reinstall of FSX.

Results = FPS 5 to 9

I even went down to the lowest resolution. No improvement. I am so perplexed.
Is it the Windows 7? Nvidia Drivers?

I did look up known issues on Microsofts wed site. No significant issues with my equipment.

 

[Thadius856]

Unsure then. Again, I'd recommend calling to see if they have any ideas, as this appears software-specific.

Does this occur with any other games?

No. Just this one
