This is aimed at all those FSX users. I downloaded and tried the demo of FSX and I get about 60 FPS over open ocean and about 30 FPS at TNCM with Traffic cranked up to 100%. Aircraft was the default Baron 58. My FSX settings are as follows :
GRAPHICS :
Screen Res. : 1680x1050x32
Filtering : trilinear
Global Texture Resolution : Very High
Lens Flare : Checked
Light Bloom : Unchecked
Advanced Animations : Checked
AIRCRAFT :
Global Settings : Medium High
SCENERY :
Global Settings : Ultra High
WEATHER :
Global Settings : Medium High
So, Considering my system specs (in signature), with these results, is it time for me to move on to FSX ?
Thanks.

This is what drives me mad:
My system is similar to yours, except I have an E8600 overclocked to 4Ghz, faster RAM and a 4870X2, yet I was not satisfied with how FSX used to run on my system. FPS were generally poor, averaging around 20, which is on the very low end of the scale for me, and for what I was expecting to get with this rig.
I switched back to FS9 a few months ago in despair, but now that I'm here, I quite like it. The only reason I would consider switching back to FSX, is because addon developers appear to be ditching FS9 altogether, unfortunately.
I'm considering making the switch back to nVidia though, as it's quite obvious from the myriad of youtube videos that MS prefer nVidia.
