    Entire GPU


    I recently downloaded Flight Simulator X Deluxe, and When I ran a gadget on my desktop, it wasn't using the full GPU. What I want to know what to do is how to make the game utilize my entire GPU.

    Dell XPS 15 (laptop)
    6 GBs RAM
    640 GB HDD
    2 GB Graphics (Nvidia GeForce GT 435M)
    Intel i7 4-core 8-thread 1.73 GHz - 2.93 GHz

    Thanks!

    So i assume you have maxed out in game video options( 1920x1200x32, full AA, full AF, Ultra Quality). If not i would start by doing that.

    Remember laptop GPUs are a 3rd of the original GPU or is it half
    and all depends on what games are being played on it?
    for a good guess id say you can run Crysis at maxed setting with NoAA at around the 30-40fps 1920x1080
    and crysis 2 around the High/gamer/extreme mark at 1280x70/1920x1080 depending on the level it sets at!

    My laptop has a Geforce 9500GS and runs crysis at medium/High
    Geforce GT435M


    GPU Engine Specs:
    CUDA Cores 96
    Processor Clock (MHz) 1300 MHz
    Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec) 7.8
    Memory Specs:
    Memory Clock (MHz) 800
    Standard Memory Config DDR3
    Memory Interface Width 128-bit
    Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec) 25.6

    Exactly, this is FSX we are talking about here. casi179 should have no problem running it maxed out.

    I have it on highest resolution (1366x768) but when I try and add trees houses ect. the framerate freezes up. And when I downloaded the game I said the same thing, that it's just flight simulator. :-/
