R U Ready for "Flight"?

For 'realism' I play Assassin's Creed games and won't hold my breath for Flight yet. :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol: The entire discussion is kinda 'mute' since nothing is known about Flight yet, and I don't expect it to be anytime soon either.

Right, back to my FSX now, with my new GTX580 card..... now THAT's reality :jump:

Question about Heaven Benchmark 2.5 ?

View attachment 50948Promise not to laugh too hard but I'll ask anyway .:icon_lol: Having never run a benchmark test before does Heaven Benchmark 2.5 do all the work or do I have to change a few things ? In the process of downloading it now . I should be ok running Win7 64bit on a Gigabyte board with a Q9650 3.0 OC'd to 3.6 . My ATI 1 gig fizzled out so Ted(Techc) recommended changing to the DDR3(I put in 8G's) and highly recommended the GeForce 560ti 1 gig card which I have really liked . If everything goes right , results to follow .

I ran one benchmark on my PC after my install of two SSDs and will not perform another. I read after that these benchmarks really shorten the life of an SSD as it does a lot of reads and writes to it while testing.

The day that I can add an aircraft or a scenery add-on to a benchmark will be the day that their score means anything at all to me. The only really useful Flight benchmark will be when you can install Microsoft Flight on your system.

Very well said . I never seriously worried about high FSP as long as it was smooth . When Flight is here and loaded I'll work the kinks out later !

Benchmarks for 3D cards just load their needed data into the Ram once when you start them, not continuously, or at least not in the magnitude you're describing.
You're probably thinking about HDD performance benchmarks, but well, read and write operations are an integral part of the benchmark routine. Still...the impact on SSD life expectancy is near zero as you don't have that tool running continuously.
