Good question. I was about to ask that myself.  ;D

I don't have much of a computer but I'm getting pretty good/reasonable performance after following a bunch of the mods and tweaks. I have most sliders up about half way. FSX looks great and flying is really smooth in most situations. Only having problems in heavy scenery like large airports and detailed add on scenery.

From what I see in FSX is that frames per second aren't top consideration. Smoothness is what you need to look for. In some places I get smoother flight at 17 fps in FSX than 40 fps in FS2004.
