Hi everyone,
I`ve just bought my gx2 and in fsx with settings on ultra high (traffic on medium/high), aa on, dx10 off and ansiotropic filtering i`m only seeing ~9 fps at heathrow when on the runway (PMDG 747, goes to ~13fps with standard 747)

Spec as follows:
9800gx2
xfx 780i
q6600 3.6ghz
4gb geil
1920x1200

All settings on the card are on default.
I know fsx has issues with sli but does it also have problems with this gx2?
My single gtx peformed about the same so i`m a bit dissopointed dispite the higher 3dmark score.
Am i missing something that i have to change in the settings? ?(either fsx or card??)


Cheers in advance for any help,
Smegle

Nymis,
i have acceleration installed, that has the latest patch on right?

i`m running crysis and cod4 fine, its just this that is really annoying me as fsx is the main reason for building this rig.
i`ll try running without aa on. should i then enable aa in nvidia monitor?

has anyone else tried running this on ultra high?

there was a patch to enable support for dualcore/multicore as it doesnt support it out of the box

yeah that was service pack 1 i believe.

so my 9800gx2, although it only using 1 pci slot, its effictively running sli?

if so i`m gutted, thought i was getting a card that would eat up fsx as that has been my aim since the bogger came out!
still i see on youtube people running ultra high with better framerates than i`m getting. so annoying
 
well i think that confirms the thoughts then.
The gx2 is a great card but only if the game supports it. i think it should mention that more specifically though when you buy the card i.e. full benefits only utilised when using an sli approved/ utilised game.

any body know if there`s a patch coming for fsx that will enable sli to be utilised?

seems that microsoft should address the issue with the current gx2 from nividia and the latest ati card both supporting single pci with dual gpu processor (unless i`m getting confused)
 
been playing around with it and i`m getting average of 23 fps with my non pmdg planes. hope fully a patch`ll be out soon to address the 10fps hit i`m getting when using my pmdg 747 :mad:

This and this are interesting threads to read.
The good thing about FSX is that it's very configurable, and you can (nearly) always find boosts to performance. :)

i`m a bit confused with the first thread thinked, does anybody on here have experience in doing this?

reference the second thread, are these tweaks still valid with acceleration?
