[HD] GTX 480 GPU i7 920 4.2GHz FSX 32xAA @ 40FPS Locked over PNW Orbx 3W5 Concrete Muni
ftxnow.com - John's Video Blog 11 - This video shows how powerful the new nVidia GTX480 GPU is when combined with an overclocked Intel i7 920. The fsx.CFG file is deleted so that FSX creates a completely untweaked virgin config file, and then nearly all the sliders are maxxed out. We then take a flight over the upcoming 3W5 Concrete Muni Airport for Orbx Pacific Northwest. You will be impressed with how smooth the flight is with anti-aliasing set to 32xAA-8xTrans and 16xAF and with max scenery and autogen complexity on a huge 30" monitor running at 2560x1600 resolution. With some further simple adjustments and lowering AA to 8xS a locked 60FPS can easily achieved. Note there are zero artifacts, black squares, spikes or other issues normally associated with running FSX at such demanding levels. Conclusion The GTX 480 is a monster card which (combined with an overclocked i7 CPU) finally allows FSX to run maxxed without resorting to any tweaks.

simple wonderful can’t wait to get a computer setup for this my 9800 GTX+ just isn’t cutting it now.
@orbxtube So It seems that a good card can make a difference in FSX. My 980x @4.0ghz combined with the 5870 was a big dissapointment with Rex clouds.
The zotac 480gtx amp is beginning to look very tempting. Since i do fly alot of pmdg and orbx scenery.
@tastyryan Well of course it will. The GTX 480 has massive texture pipes and as you see in the video can support 32xAA without sweating. However, the tip for good performance is to let FSX run the AA as per my settings in the video. If you ovveride the AA from external nVidia control panel it will try to add AA to all the clouds, causing a big performance hit. It’s best just to let FSX handle the AA always.
I’m really looking into replacing my MSi 5870 Lightning with a 480GTX.
The 5870 doesn’t like Rex clouds & AA at high resolutions. And i get massive screen tearing with this model.
So will the 480gtx be any good with complex heavies like the pmdg 747 combined with REX clouds?
@FSXISCOOL No I don’t use the BP=0 tweak, nor any other tweaks, because they lead to CTDs and massive instability on my PC. The whole point of this video is to demonstrate that no tweaks are necessary

awesome scenery….just out of interest have you tried the no buffer tweak yet wth the 480?..[BufferPools] UsePools=0 and the other latest tweaks that many say give 20-40% increases in fps…am sure the 480 is well suited to your 4.2ghz cpu and the no buffer tweak esp….great videos as always…and thanks for such great scenery…
@cocatoo555 No idea, and I don’t really care about stuff like that, since the PC has been running rock solid at that speed for over a year.
What are your CPU temps @ 4.2Ghz?
gtx 480? oh my gosh….and I thought I had a killer video card when I bought my gtx 280! lol Wow, that looks almost like real…and so was the price hey? lol
@rattletop 5970 gets 10fps +
Wonderful video blog!
I am an Orbx customer and have Brisbane and Melbourne. Two wonderful airports. I am looking forward to the new Mac Pro release with 6 or 12 cores so one day I can enjow Orbx products to the full!
Thumbs up!
@all4golf About AUD$4000 all up. It’s over a year old now, I just added the GTX480 recently.
Wow, how much did that PC cost?
Awesome PC!
@drumsonly2002 Thanks, appreciate the comment!
@rattletop Correct. DDR3 1600Mhz.
@rattletop I have not tried a 5970, but it should cope similarly well.
BTW u tried this with 5970? hw did it fare?
12gb of RAM- 4gb cards x 3 ?
@Rino7617 You need to have a forum account. Then visit » Public » Tips, Tricks & Techniques » John’s ENB Series .ini file – it’s a sticky topic. I had an older topic which seemed to have disappeared, sorry about that.
Great information. Anther reason why I really like Orbx, everything done top notch. Very very impressive.
Sorry if I ask again, but I can’t find your settings, so where’s your topic?
@orbxtube Thanks
@Rino7617 Yes I use ENB Series (about 1-2FPS cost). You can find my settings pinned on the FTX support forums.
