Everyone knows how simmer sit here, eyes glued to that little read out in the top left corner of the screen, but I think we need to standardise a situation to measure them. I do mine at 1000ft over the sea at around 200kts and I get about 15-20fps. at heathrow for example, I get 3-4! Anyone else got any suggestions?

tomshardware.com do it over seattle with max settings and 4xAA, 8xAniso.  

I get 42fps at seattle and about the same give or take 1fps over Heathrow. This is with maxed out settings, 1024x768x32, 4xAA and 8xaniso.  That includes trilinear etc.  Also storms were on to make it real hard for the GFX card, this included max cloud settings.

What does your AMD relate to by Intel standards?

~2.8

It does not really matter that much about the cpu.  You could have a 1.8 and still get really good fps.  Just couple it with a good GFX card.  Like a 9600xt for £115 or a 9800pro for £160.  Then put a good amount of RAM with it, 512 DDR atleast.
