tennyson Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Just whacked in the new OC'd GTX 580 yesterday and came up with these. They were taken at YBBN, mid-day, Carenado C182RG with High Def textures (4096 x4096) and sliders very high, on 3 x 24" Acers running at 5760 x 1080. I've never seen my sim this good and the experience has renewed my interest to no end. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Emms Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Fantastic Frank they are so crisp and clear mate looks like your new card is a winner indeed. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTenner Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 To say I havent got really jealous by looking at this pics would be a lie. This is looking really great. What kind of processor is working on your rig? (Just curious ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi Jan, It's just the i7 940, but I got it clocked to 4 ghz, plus the mobo is the top of the wazza 1366 board from Asus, the Rampage III Extreme. I was on the verge of updating it to the 1155 and a i7 2600k, but would rather wait a bit and see about the boards that replace the 1366 stuff later in the year. With this card now, I think I can squeeze a bit more juice out of FSX before blowing another wad of cash! Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTenner Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 When you can run YBBN with that detail you can run everything smoothly YBBN is my problem child. I think its because of too much textures there. But its really impressive to see what the FSX is able to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pphibbs Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi Frank, I also recently replaced my two GTX285s in SLI with a 3gig GTX 580 and haven't looked back. I've OC'd the I7 950 to 4GHZ. but that's it. Must say I'm happier with my system these days. The GTX 580 is great. Nice shots mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek McAllan Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Congrats Frank, those shots are truly awesome. You've given me hope for how Brissy is going to look for me when I put my new system together soon! On my current system it's a slideshow even with all the detail cranked way back. Cheers, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
