    Something different

    I was messing around in the computer room and was bored and decided to hook up a 60 Plasma TV to my video card and play with FSX. Chet my FPS were better than the triple monitor set up and when flying a jet low I usally get a skip here and there. Any of you guys seen this before and I wonder why FSX would run smoother too. This was also in DX10. Oh yea when da wife came in the room she said you got to be chetting me:costumes: I said hell baby....forget the small screens...I want two mo 60 inch plasma...her response >>> in your dreams punk

    Geeeze louise Moe, that's amazing. I've seen some screens in here, taken from 21" monitors that don't look that good. I'll bet the VC view was probably almost full size too, lol:d

    Hi Moe
    The fps most likely will be because of the scan rate difference between monitors and TV with Vsysnc on in fsx.also might depend what sort of 3 monitor setup you have as the vid card might have to work a little harder with 3 signals as apposed to 1 big one
