    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Tell ya what Cheezyflier you buy the board and the two X5600 CPUs for me and I will let you know! TechCorp has tested dual Xeons on an ASUS 1366 socket board with dual GTX470s and it ran some of the hardest benchmark games at extremely high levels. FS9/FSX/X-Plane are not considered good benchmark indicators by testing facilities-too many variables and CPU calls are not consistent.

I'm glad you created this thread, Cheezy. It is always good to know what is being developed. However, too often the manufacturers of this stuff claim the world and deliver a very small plot of land instead! :icon_lol:

So, I think that's what is causing the high number of looks but the low number of responses. Now, on the other hand, when a number of people say that this hardware delivers proven max performance for FSX in all cases, then you'll have a huge thread response!

Cheers,

Interesting, but overkill. Flight sims need multiple cores to a point, but they really need fast cores and big motherboard bandwidth to feed to and from fast RAM and a fast video card. Flight sims don't benefit greatly from multiple video cards until you start running massive screen resolutions and/or multiple monitors. Even then, a pair of really fast video cards is usually enough.

By the way, how much of a power supply will it take to run a pair of fast quad core CPU's, 12 sticks of RAM, 4 video cards, a sound card, and four hard drives?
 
the thing is, i always see everyone say that there is no system so far, that will run fsx all maxxed out, with all the bells and whistles. so i try to keep my eyes peeled for that new shiny thing that will do it. so if that's more than what is needed to do it, then what is enough to do it?
 
It is always possible that there will never be a computer that can run FSX at full settings with high, steady, and smooth frame rates if FSX's code was never completely optimized for smoothness.
