For the following fix, you will need to go here (MS Support) to request
a 32 bit version of this patch. I have the 64 bit version included
above. This patch is labeled: "Graphics performance can be improved in
certain multiple scenarios on a Windows Vista based computer"

Request Download: '32 Bit Patch Download Request'
(http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=6294451)

Download the AMD 64 Multiple Core Optimizer (Enhances performance while
gaming: 'AMD Dual Core Optimizer for Gaming'
(http://tinyurl.com/yqlt7v)

My FSX.cfg file is linked below, so those of you with multiple
cores/gpu's can see how I got maximum performance with my setup. I can
run at 1920x1200x32 in DX10 Preview Mode at 45 FPS (City) to well over
100 FPS (Mountains).

Download my FSX.cfg file: 'Here - Compare it with yours and see how you
do.' (http://digital-audio-pro.us/public/FSX/Tweak-Files/fsx.CFG)


Here is another program that will be of great help and seems to work
much better than the nVidia N-Tune/Profile settings. Again, many of you
probably already know about it, but some don't.

Download: nHancer - The Advanced Control Panel and Profile Editor for
nVidia cards - ' Vista/XP 64 Bit'
(http://www.nhancer.com/downloads/nHancer64_2.3.2_2_Setup.exe)
Download: nHancer - The Advanced Control Panel and Profile Editor for
nVidia cards - ' Vista/XP 32 Bit'
(http://www.nhancer.com/downloads/nHancer32_2.3.2_2_Setup.exe)

This will allow you to control things to a higher degree. It is awesome
and has a lot of hidden tweaks and profiles for FSX/DX10/SLI as well.

Another trick to getting FSX to run smooth is to mess with the SLI
options of: Single Core, Split Frame Rendering and Alternate Frame
Rendering. nHancer will allow you to easily compare settings for each
profile used.

My personal experience in running Vista 64 has been overall very well.
With respect to gaming, there are some games that run just great and
there are those that suffer because they have not been optimized fully
to take advantage of multiple CPU's and GPU's.

My honest experience with multiple 8800 GTX's and CPU's VS. using a
single 8800 and a single AMD FX-74 is a bit nerve racking in that I saw
no difference between running a one of each or two of each.

I hope the listing of fixes above helps at lease one person out there.

Thanks and Happy Flight Simming!
