rockliffe Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Can anyone tell me if my CPU useage is correct at about 30% while flying... thanks...

Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 you have problems ? one thing to check is that the FrontSideBus speed of the CPU matches the RAM speed ( as example 1600 - 1600 ) also check in your BIOS if Hypertrading is disabled fsX should be able to "fly" with that HardWare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hi Wolter, sure that's what I've been thinking for ages.... I've been running a thread here for over a week trying to get to the bottom of poor framerates and stutters (see elsewhere in forum) I'm getting very frustrated as all I want to do is fly! I'm afraid I am not a techie or computer whiz kid like a lot of guys on the forum. I know how to clean drives, install programs, drivers etc etc, but getting into the nitty gritty of FSX... I'm afraid I am still learning, so forgive me if I do not understand everything... can you bear with me? Can you humour me.... how do I check FrontSideBus speed of the CPU matches the RAM speed Windows 7 64bit i7 950 @ 3.05 Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Onboard Realtek audio Corsair 650 Asus (Radeon) 5850 GPU 6Gb RAM (3x2 sticks) Maxtor 500GB HD in removeable caddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 how do I check FrontSideBus speed of the CPU matches the RAM speed by entering the BIOS menu when you start up the puter, the first screen that comes up you should hit "del" or "F10" or somthing similar, as I don't know your MoBo, that info should be available within your Manual. and reading about it also helps a wee bit, just google for it and you'd be amazed as to what comes up on info about it and please don't misunderstand that I'm not willing to help you, on the contrary, but when you have done some reading about the theme your insight will be better and hence makes it easyer for you to understand that "mumbo jumbo" lingo we use for it all around these parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainneedle1 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It will be a lot easyer if you can take pics of your bios or a template of it with all your settings. Can you run CPU-Z and take a screen shot of it including CPU memory and SPD....it's kinda hard to fix a problem without knowing what setting you have in your bios......

rockliffe Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 thanks for the info. I understand what you're saying. I'll try and work it out, thanks. I'll let you know how I get on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockliffe Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thank Alain, as information, the task manager is showing anything form 18 - 30% CPU useage and occasionally up to about 45% with about 2.67gb memory useage. Does this sound wrong? I have downloaded CPU-Z, I now have to figure out how to use it.... oh, something I think is quite odd, it doesn't matter how small a window on the desktop I make out of FSX while flying, it doesn't make any difference to the framerate...
