Ken Hall Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 works a treat but have it overclocked to 4gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (PC Aviator) Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Core i7 range are the best processors for FSX, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yes works well for me. If you look at my posts you will see what I recommend for the fsx.cfg as well. I have mine running nicely at 3.6GHz with a quality CPU cooler. I found that after 3.6GHz frame rates didn't increase, possibly because my video card is only upper middle range.

Tim Harris Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Had a Cheshire-cat grin ever since I got mine Both OC'ed @ 4.0ghz, and also with the default clock speed using the speed-step turbo boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyH Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I have an I7 860 OC to 4GHZ and FSX runs like a dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gheeD Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 920 is going out of the market, and 930 is replacing it. So i'd recommend 930, it has a lot more overclocking potential than 920. But whichever you choose, they are great processors for fsx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNZ Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thank you to all that replied. I'm not a computer guru, in fact I am sure the local primary school kids know a lot more than I do, so I thought I'd put out the call to make sure I wasn't given a dummy or I could have improved a lot with something else. Now I'm a happy chappy. Regards to all, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
