[Solved] Has Anyone Play Flight Sim X On Amd FX-8120

Hello Has Anyone Play Flight Sim X On Amd fx-8120 n What Kind Of Results They Got With it Thank u

You already opened a thread about 2 weeks ago...i am sure it will be good, but not as good as an i5-2500k.

Got some Bad news for ya mate, I have an FX 8120 and My Flatmate has an i5 2500K. My 8120 Performs much better at higher Mesh and Vehicles than his 2500K. I run the game maxiumum settings at 1920x1080 with everything on and traffic Medium- High, with my flat mates you ahve to turn the traffic off to get the same performance. So that being said if you don't care about traffic then go for the 2500K it's almost the same. But if you want more planes in the air and some cars on the ground to make it a bit more "Lifelike" then the FX 8120 is pimp.

I still perfer the 2500K for most games and Im sure other gamers would agree as generally speaking the FX 8120 is not very good but in flight sim 10 the 8120 is a beast.

Again sorry to dissapoint you, FSX is nto very GPU intensive infact you can run it freakin awesome on a 9800GTX. I have 2x 6870's in crossfire and having crossfire enabled or not makes no difference (Besides that doesn't matter FSX does not support Crossfire or SLi). If you actually do your research on FSX you'll find that it's very CPU intensive and the GPU really does hardly any work at all.

I used to have an ADM 940 AM2+ with 2x 4890's In crossfire, as soon as I stuck the 6870's in it made no difference to FSX, same performance (hence why the GPU doesn't do much at all). As soon as I changed to an FX 8120 I could Crank the settings so much more. I turned 4 Cores off in the 8120 To simulate some sort of simularity to the 940 (Even though its not exact) and the Game went from 35 FPS down to 10. The CPU has everything to do with the performance of FSX so whoever told you the GPU does something for it has miselead you.

Google it, and youll see plenty of FSX benchmarks and they are all based on the CPU.

Well you're wrong, google it.

Hey Hexit, You are right about everything else about X-Plane 10 except one thing. You said: "but its still gfx limited in that no1 with 1 gfx card can play the game above medium..." This is simply untrue. Austin Meyer and Ben Supnik themselves have stated that X-Plane 10 does not support sli/crossfire (ie. more than one GPU), But they are considering adding support for it in the future. All you need is one powerful GPU to run X-Plane 10 on high settings, I know this because I run it on high settings with my 1 GPU: a Radeon HD 6970.

Also, X-Plane 10 is a 32-bit application so it does not use more than 4 gb of system ram. They are also in the process of fixing this and are porting the code to 64-bit, Though they say this may be a while off, maybe a year or more.

I am an X-Plane fan and fly it daily, Just stating the facts.
