On your 3dmark, were you using the Firestorm test? Extreme or regular?



I have an ASUS GTX780 3GB OC (1200) and an I5 3570K (4.6) which scores around 9705 on Fire Strike (regular and combined graphics/physics) score. Getting 30-40 fps flying around ORBX PNW and Seattle KSEA. Core 1/2/3 at 90-100/70-80/70-80 and GPU at 70-90 with my settings. Settings at http://tinyurl.com/p3ygdb7



noah



The 3dMark test was run using the free demo, so it ran 3 different tests (Firestorm I know was one)

Hello, go_noah. I have low fps (more or less 15) flying around LFPG and EGLL. Could you please fly (taking off from these airports and flying towards the center city) and report the fps? I have a 3570K too. My gpu is a GTX570 and I intend to buy a GTX780 next month. I would like to have a notion of improvement.



Thanks.

Well, Flying from LFPG to Paris and EGLL to London, getting about 55fps... core 1/2/3 is 95-100/40-70/40-70 and GPU at 45-55.

I just have Vector for Paris and London areas. All flying in fair weather. My 3570 is OC at 4.6



I changed weather to gray and rainy on London area and FPS dropped a little to 45-50 and GPU went up to 72.



In an ORBX region like PNW and KSEA Seattle, fps drops to about 35-40fps. In ORBX detailed regions, I also use all cores to eliminate texture rendering blurries. I always fly LOD at max. Shadows at medium... 10,000/10,000/3,000. No FXAA and MSAA at 4... GPU only around 35%...



With the ASUS GTX780 3GB OC, I am only limited by the 3570 CPU... The GPU easily takes whatever it can get on my system/configuration.
