No sence in waiting to buy the sim!

Even if you dont fly it theres a ton stuff just to get all the buttons sorted/planes started that if you do now will shorten the learnng curve when the new video card comes.

See ya in the air!

Yeah, that was my guess too. I mean, i could fly the 88 just fine up until a few months ago. I know the extra cockpit textures and dials that are visible from the 88's default position put a load on the GPU because i can hear the fan pick up a lot of speed, while the 111 with it's mostly glass nose doesn't give my any trouble at all.

I will probably have to run some temp monitoring utilities and have them log temps for CPU and GPU to a txt file, start the sim, get in an 88 and wait until the reboot happens, then check the log file.

I still think it's a case of the GPU giving off heat and rising the ambient air temp in the case, wihch the CPU can't cope with, but i hope some thermal paste will help.

ok guys: finally bought, inrtalled and.. ENJOYING! performance is not a strong point with my poor rig (can't wait for the holy patch), but i'm learning how to menage my engine and landing without bumping.. Is more than sufficient for me now, and i'm happy to confirm that both my sli gpu are working properly! Not serious testing yet, but only checked with nvidia monitor. No test in fps also, but i fly pretty good with mid settings and.. Having a lot of fun! Thanks 1c!

Sounds like I should do the same. Still playing 1946 waiting for the improvements to the engine.
