TrackIR Help Needed!!!

[FlierForLife]

Hi guys, I just purchased TrackIR 5 to use with FSX, but I have a problem. It has a framerate impact of 8-10 when I attempt to fly. This is a huge problem, because my system and FSX is configured to run at a stable 20 fps (pitiful, I know...), so when I use it I'm pulling an amazing 10-12 fps. I bought the thing for $150 on Amazon, so I'd like to sort this out. My computer specs are below, and I am using TrackIR 5 with the standard hat clip. Please help if possible, thanks!!!

I have a Gateway SX2311-03 desktop, and it has:
-Windows 7 Home Premium
-AMD Phenom II X4 820 quad-core processor
-NVIDIA GeForce 9200 graphics
-A one terrabyte hard drive
-4GB DDR3 Memory
-A multi in one media card reader
-Monitor is a ViewSonic 1920x1080p full HD LED

You have a quad-core, have you tried setting the CPU affinity for the TIR software to another core?
Also, you might want to ask the guys at the NaturalPoint forum.

Thanks for the effort, but the NaturalPoint guys helped me sort it out. Turns out the problem was in their software, so I just clean installed it and now it has zero impact on my frames.
