I get between 16 and 60 FPS in quickstart-mission with standard-settings (summer, clear sky, easy, 12:00). Starting on the runway I have about 30-32 FPS. This is , if at all, only slightly better as my core2duo at 3,6 ghz, I had before.
I have to admit that I made a wrong decission with upgrading to the X6. I was not able to get more than 3,8 ghz out of the cpu, some will go up to 4,2 with air-cooling. But looking to an I5-760 which should be savely overclockable up to 4,8ghz, and Intel is faster with same clockspeed, I think Intel is currently clearly the stronger competitor regarding performance as well as value.
But I'm not unhappy with my system, I would only make another decission If I could choose again.
