    Just curious, why aren't you using Anti-Aliasing? You have a GTX 570 according to your signature. It makes FS look a thousand times better, even at low settings. Those "jaggies" would drive me absolutely insane after 5 seconds. :kilroy:

    The X-52 pro is average quality except the awful cable that connects the throttle to the joystick. The connection took less than a year to start going bad. The little mouse/cursor thing on it ended up bugging out all the time so I had to disable it. I ended up getting rid of the joystick and just using the throttle from it. I got a CH Products joystick to go along with it. I am very frustrated by the quality of consumer joysticks. CH Products makes the best consumer-grade stuff, though they go bad after a while too. For the price I can't say I would recommend it.

    I had to pick this one up since they added flight planning in the G1000. I am impressed by the frame rate. I am holding steady at between 28 and 30 fps (locked at 30). Unfortunately the large MFD is not very high resolution. That's probably one of the reasons the FPS is so good. The torque/RPM relationship seems to be modeled fairly well. She climbs right by the numbers too. Only disappointment thus far is the sounds. But I guess that was to be expected when coming from such a superb turboprop simulation like the Q400... Not sure what Barfly means by no actual reverse. I was able to back her up and turn her around without pushback. Back to the flight!

    This and the Nvidia Inspector settings recommended by PMDG are the only changes I've made to my CFG and they work great. Haven't had to mess around with FSX settings for years now. :wiggle:

  1. NewEgg had a deal going. I just checked their site and it looks like the price of the cards has went up since Catalyst 9.7 driver was released (boosted cards performance alot). I did find this XFX for $170 recertified and XFX has a lifetime warrenty as I recall and I think they have a trade up program.

    " am too cheap to worry about anything except price/performance and my current video card is the MSI 4890 OC that I bought for $170 a couple months ago"
    Where did you find it at that price?
