I tried to max it out, the result was incridible graphics, 5 FPS, and some weird colours (graphic error) and then a reboot. Tongue

Well damn, now I might as well not download the thing at all.  I can expect to see a similar frame count... Sad

The sim is designed for a minimum x800xt+ or a high 6XXXX Nvidia card but preferaby a 7XXX series with a dual core processor... single core @ 2.2+ gig. It will require SLI to display impressive and quad SLI DX10 with quad CPU to max it out (not available yet).


Although it is not a full package, the demo is not the issue, I can assure you



I have been posting for quite some time what FSX will want to see for reasonable visuals and game play. Like any other MS release, it is designed to sell hardware and add-ons.

Here is the list from the demo readme if anyone is interested... yes it is not complete but that will not affect frame rates


Major Known Issues
At the time we created this demo version, Microsoft Flight Simulator X was not yet complete and work is ongoing.
Setup

The Flight Simulator X demo version is not compatible with the Flight Simulator X beta versions.
Aircraft

Some aircraft in Flight Simulator X demo may not be finished.
Some of the incomplete items, such as untextured aircraft models and animations that don’t work, are obvious and will be implemented before the product ships.

You may also notice that the “level of detail”, or LOD models are not completed—as an aircraft moves away from you, it will abruptly swap to a low-detail model.
Scenery

Taxiway and apron textures will sometimes exhibit regular patterns of mismatched textures, especially at the intersections of different surface types. Taxiway fillets may appear with texturing different from that of the intersecting surfaces.

Airport boundary fences currently block out views of terrain and buildings behind them.

Autogen content (generic bridges, buildings, trees, etc.) and placement are still in progress.

Autogen exclusion is currently not working properly, so you may see trees and buildings appearing on airport polygons.

Some scenery objects in this pre-release demo version are not complete and may display as black or incomplete shapes. This will be corrected in the final product.

Configuration
The retail version of Flight Simulator X runs on Korean, Japanese, and traditional Chinese Microsoft Windows operating systems. This demonstration version of Flight Simulator X will not run on Korean, Chinese, or Japanese versions of Windows.

After changing time of day or location in the simulation, terrain textures occasionally won’t update, or some textures will change to black or bright colors. To resolve the issue, restart a flight. Cycling views will also occasionally resolve this problem (press S).

Anti-aliasing is not working on RADEON X300/X550 series cards.

Anti-aliasing does not work for the Free-Flight aircraft preview window for any configuration.

Windows in Virtual Cockpit mode may not be transparent in video cards that only support shader 1.1.

CH throttle quadrant's range of motion is currently limited.

If you are using an Xbox 360 controller for Windows with Flight Simulator, make sure you plug it in before starting. Plugging an Xbox controller in while Flight Simulator is running may cause problems with control assignments.

Flight Simulator will not render in windowed mode with Windows Vista Aero/Glass enabled. Disable this feature in order to use windowed mode on Vista.

Bloom effects are not functioning.

TOSHIBA: TECRA M4 users may experience a blue screen when altering screen resolutions.

Shader Model 3.0 card users (GeForce 6100 and ATI Radeon X1300) should update their drivers to see self-shadowing.

The setup repair function is not working properly. If you have problems with your installation, please uninstall and reinstall Flight Simulator.

You should notice a frame rate change and higher load if you switch screens around but your adapter will have a direct bearing on how bad that is.

NAG = an annoying element that makes you want to put down the demo and buy the real thing as soon as it is possible
