Cowboy3000 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'm getting a little tired of FPS games. I hate spawning in and getting killed before I can do anything. So, I was at Fry's the other day and they had Flight Simulator X on sale and I picked up a copy. This thing is pretty cool so far. I have a 7900 GT, and it seems a little bit laggy. I do have settings up on max. How much of an improvement in this game would it be if I got another one for SLI? Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy3000 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 I won't be home until tomorrow. I'll post pics then. This is the first time I've played Flight Sim. I know it's been around a long time. I remember when I was a kid that they showed flight sim on Mr. Wizard, back in the 80's. That's interesting about the DirectX10. I haven't seen that or noticed it on the System Requirements / Recommendations. If it does utilitize it, then I'll definitely hold off on getting a second 7900GT. Knowing the trends, the next gen card will be faster than two current gen cards in SLI. That's part of the reason I have never bothered to go with SLI. Link to post Share on other sites

aaronlewis89 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 looks good Link to post Share on other sites
AMDX1325 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 looks good! but im guessing the framrate was low Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy3000 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 The only time I have any sort of issue is when I turn to look out a different window, like the side window. Sometimes it takes a while for everything to render. As far as framerate, it's not bad. I'm not sure what it is, but everything seems to flow pretty good. I mean, there isn't intense action as with something like Unreal 2k4. Link to post Share on other sites

AthlonGTX Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm getting a little tired of FPS games. I hate spawning in and getting killed before I can do anything I'm in the same boat as you man. I picked up a Logitech flight stick and play LOMAC I'll DL the demo of FSX and give it a shot.

tito Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 IMpressive graphics on that one. Flight sim gets boring though, takeoff and landing are OK but in mid air its like watching paint dry. Link to post Share on other sites
AMDX1325 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 you can set the sim speed faster so it doesnt look like it is pausing in mid air Link to post Share on other sites
