My wife have a Dell XPS 9100 with I7 960 (3.2 GHz) CPU. Recently I decided to upgrade some of its parts due to serious lags when gaming. Little did I realise how much hassle was in store when it came to upgrading my computer to keep up with constant hardware upgrades. Mine was to be used for FS and picture editing, my wife's for general day to day stuff. My woes began several years ago when I purchased 2 Dell Dimension 4700s for myself and my wife. there have been several reasons for my absence, the main one being yet more computer woes involving graphics cards and power supplies. Basically, my question is, could I upgrade my graphics card and improve my frames to a consistent 20+ FPS, or is an entire system upgrade complete with dual-core processors, etc, the only way to truly get the performance FSX can deliver? If so, what kinds of graphics cards would you recommend? Thank you all in advance for your suggestions.I haven't been about on the forums much for ages. I've tweaked my config file to get 15-20 FPS in rural airspace, but the moment I approach busy cities, I drop to 8-10 FPS. So, I'm wondering if a step up in the graphics card department could help until I'm ready to get a more FSX compatible system.Currently, I'm running FSX on a 4-year old Dell Dimension 4700 with XP Home, 2.8 Ghz, 1.5gb RAM, and an ATI Radeon X1300SE PCI-express video card.

Ultimately, I'd like to upgrade my complete system, but that's not really an option just yet.


If a card is found then the graphics card loads and Windows ask for the driver, blah blah blah. I really like what FSX has to offer, and I'd like to get my rig to a point where I can run it with acceptable FPS. With that out of the way, all you have to do is configure your BIOS to automatic in video section that way if no card is installed in the PCIe slot the GMA900 will load (which as a side bar is a very good backup). Hey guys, I'm a long-time flight simmer who recently took the dangerous jump from FS2004 to FSX.
