After ruining my last computer trying to upgrade my CPU, I was afraid to try building a new one myself. Unfortunately, my budget is rather small. I was able to purchase a fairly decent computer, or at least I thought it was.
It is a ASUS, I5 CPU 650 @ 3.2 Ghz, CG5275 Motherboard, Socket LGA 1156, 8 Gb RAM at 1333 Mhz, 400 watt power supply, and for now, only because I havent bought a new one yet, Nvidia 9500 GT 1 GB video card, Windows 7 64 bit.
Right now, I am getting worse stutters in FSX than I have ever with any computer I have owned, and they were much slower computers.
I only had the demo version, but I was able to run Rise of Flight smooth as silk, just like I can with CFS2 and FS9. I didn't have the sharpest textures, but the demo ran out before I could tweak it.
I have tried all the tweaks, and have even crashed my system a few times, but no matter what, I cannot get rid of the stutters. The stutters are not micro stutters either, it actually stutters like a 'heart beat', and they are 'hard' stutters. And, my scenery settings are on medium low, and it still kicks it hard.
I know it's not the best system, but could it ever be a decent one for FSX? I could put up with the occasional micro stutter if I have too, as long as I could possibly make it look good.
I would like to get a Nividia GTX275 card and of course, a larger power supply someday, hopefully soon. I am just wondering if I spend that kind of money for those items, will they be worth it on my system? I know each computer is different, and I wont hold anyone to their words, if my system should prove opposite. I'm just really disappointed, I actually feel like I have stepped somewhat backwards with this new system.
But, at least on the bright side, I don't own a Dell anymore, LOL!
