I don't know for sure, but my guess is that most of the FSX users out there are running an INTEL based processor? However, I'd like to know which of you are Running an AMD? The purpose of this post ISN'T to talk about which is better etc etc. It's to find out which of you ARE running an AMD, what CPU, and do you use AMD overdrive?
The bare bones of the matter is that I DO run an AMD (FX-8150 BlackEdition) and I've just recently (today) discovered the AMD Overdrive Over-Clock utility, and have been able to go from 3.6ghz to just over 4ghz with just the click of a checkbox! I now check core turbo check box prior to loading FSX, play, and then when finished simply uncheck and return to my standard clock speed.
So I thought I would share for those of you not running an INTEL based CPU. Considering AMD-FSX information is difficult to come across, other than mostly un-helpful posts which suggest to change out your mother board and CPU for an Intel one!, which isn't an option for me! So, until it is an option, hopefully this helps you find better results in your FSX install. :)
