Wow

Postby ThatOnePerson » Sat Nov 17, 2007 3:35 pm

Well ,I now know just how under powered my pc was, I used to have a 305W dell PSU, running the whole puter plus a 7950GT card. About an hour ago I added a 550W PSU, while I have only gained a couple FPS in games, I see now that my video card especially was lacking. It produces sharper textures,and faster loading, along with a more "full" area of autogen in the sim. So in conclusion, 80 dollars well spent :)

Indeed! My new PSU cooled down my system by around 20 degrees or so...FS9 ran like a charm 8-)
