I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but AMD processors do not perform well with FSX and Nvidia video cards are still superior with FSX. As for tweaking the cfg file, many tweaks are just placebos. No tweaks are needed for the Steam version, the only tweak that really needs to be added to the boxed version of FSX is the HIMEMFIX. You can read about it at the following link.

You can install it, just do not crank up the graphics settings and AI and expect it to run well. Keep those sliders well to the left.

There is a shader fix for AMD GPU's somewhere on AVSim.

The only tweaks really needed are:
Under:
[GRAPHICS]
TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024 (1024 is the max default setting, go 2048 or 4096 only if you have any addons that use either of those two texture resolutions, examples: new FlyTampa scenery, PMDG planes, etc)
HIGHMEMFIX=1 (a must since multicore CPU's appeared)

Under:
[DISPLAY]
WideViewAspect=True (for widescreen monitors)
TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40 (40 is default, 80 or 120 are worth a try, but use the exact same setup when testing, don't change a single thing during testing, default flight with thunderstorm weather is a nice example. This goes for all tweak settings)
TextureMaxLoad= (start from say 12 and go by adding 3 for every single try, so 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30. Disregard it if you see no diff)

I have no idea how to use the Bufferpools section with AMD stuff since I don't have it myself. This and the Affinity Mask fix might help, for some they do, for some they don't make a difference.

Now, the main point here is to make the sim run smooth, not at high FPS, anything above 10 FPS can be smooth, if you can get it above 30 all the better.

Here's that shader mod mentioned before, it should increase performance and image quality for AMD graphics card users:

Thank you all for your comment
Unfortunately, two days ago, died in the graphics card!
"he lived for two years"
What kind of AMD card should I choose? :banghead:

I like anything Radeon, the faster with more memory the better. It depends on your price range. Despit NVidia fans protests, I've been running Radeon video cards happily for over 15 years. ( not the same one of course ) I have both FSX, and P3D.
I do have to agree that AMD cpu's and FSX do not play well together. I tried a 4ghz AMD cpu, and replaced it and the mother board to go with an Intel I 7. I thought the AMD would perform better than the 3.4 ghz Itel I 5 it was replacing. NOT for FSX, it was way worse.

What is your opinion about this card?

XFX RX 480 GTR Black Edition 8GB here: http://iway.hu/termek/xfx_rx_480_8gb_ddr5_gtr_black_edition_videokartya/97465

I think choose this card

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming (Base: 1620MHz,Boost: 1847MHz), 6GB GDDR5 (8008MHz), PCI-E 3.0, DVI, HDMI, 3x DisplayPort, WINDFORCE 2x Blade Fan Design, RGB Lighting.

I'd be opting for this as it's not AMD for a start and it appears to fall into the price range you've been looking at. (95,140.00 HUF = 457.96 AUD?)
