Just build this system last week:
I7-920 overclocked to 3.2
ASrock x58 Extreme
6GB Mushkin 1600 in triple channel
Asus radeon 5870
Corsair 750W psu
Win 7 64bit
I have most of the settings in FSX in the medium range, most of the settings in my catalyst control center on medium settings but I cant seem to get anything over about 25 fps. This is what I was getting on my old system with a 9600GT and an old AMD dual core proc with the same settings..... A little disgusted right now that I just spent $1300 and have nothing to show for it. I have followed all the tweak guides and settings guides but cant seem to figure this out.

25 isnt bad, especially if thats what you're getting on the ground.
try this:
target FPS : unlimited
Autogen scenery: max
Scenery complexity: max
and see if you FPS goes up.
Also what plane are you talking about, what phase of flight, what weather?

I am testing using the justflight 737 PIC on the ground at KSMF with normal weather and no traffic.
I have target framerate at unlimited, autogen at medium

I'll try it again:
try this:
target FPS : unlimited
Autogen scenery: max
Scenery complexity: max
Im not joking. My FPS increased by setting autogen and complexity to maximum. This does not work with all systems though. It has to do with the extra CPU time needed to "remove" scenery items. I think this works when FPS is being limited by your CPU as opposed to your video card
What FPS are you getting in the air? What about with the default C172? I'd be willing to bet you'd be getting 50+ in the default 172.
I'll tell you off the bat that 25 FPS with a payware plane on the ground is what you should expect and I'd be happy to get that. Right now I get about 20-22 on the ground at FSDT KJFK, with PMDG MD11 with average weather.
I also assume you have lightbloom turned off.

Yes, lightbloom is turned off. I upped the autogen and scenery comp to max and I lost about 5 FPS. Its not that im unhappy with the 25 FPS, im just upset because with the same exact settings i am getting the same performance as my 9600 GT, amd 6000+, and 4gb of ddr2 800.

Are both Service Packs installed?
To take advantage of some features of your computer, you'll need SP2 installed.

HOW TO PROPERLY TUNE VIRTUAL ADDRESS SPACE IN WINDOWS (x32) FOR OUT OF MEMORY ERRORS
Worked like a charm for me. It will allow FS to use more RAM and that might help out alot. I use to get like 10FPS on the ground with the PMDG Md-11 now I can get 25

I just built up a new system myself with a Lynnfield Core i7-860, Win 7 64 bit, with 8GB RAM on it and an Nvidia GTS-250 card (low end stuff) - I installed FSX with SP1 and SP2 with no acceleration pack - flying a C172 around KMCO with stuff in the medium range, I am seeing 100+ to 200+ fps... this is all the stock stuff, no add-ons yet.
You may want to make sure you have the proper drivers for your system, especially the graphics card - that makes a big difference...
