I was having terrible trouble in FSX after upgrading my video card from an 8600GTS (512mb) to a GTX260 and overclocking my E6750 to 3.2Ghz - graphic spiking, terrible framerate variations and very low framerates - much worse performance than I had previously experienced with the same settings.
I was totally frustrated after getting no real improvement from hours of tinkering with settings and config tweaks, but then read a thread at the Orbyx forums about using DX10.
So I ticked the DX10 box, leaving all settings the same and immediately got smoother flying with 35-45 frames per second and no graphic spiking.
So, anyone with a DX10 capable card, it may be worth a try.
I'm still learning what DX10 will mean for my setup (seems I can't use NHancer for example), but so far I'm really impressed.
