Impulse Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi All, My last dedicated FSX computer died, and I've been using FSX on the family laptop, but I've decided to get one of my own, for FSX. My Budget can only strech to getting a used PC(Around $600AUD), so I've been doing some digging, and found these. (Sorry for basic info, sellers weren't helpful) -4ghz amd quad core proccesor -2gb AMD Radeon HD video -8gb 2133mhz ddr3 ram -2Tb hard drive -Dvd burner Or CPU: Intel CORE 2 quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz Motherboard: ASUS PSG4IT-M LX3 RAM: 8GB (4GB x 2 kit) DDR3 Graphics card: Gigabyte GV-NX845512 HD Hard Drive: WD 1TB. SATA 2x 19" LCD Moniters Ideas? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustomCoders Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hello, I recently built a PC for my nephew primarily for FSX came in just under 720GBP. CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 3.20GHz Socket 1150 6mb Cache MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 Socket 1150 VGA DVI HDMI ATX MOTHERBOARD RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance PRO Kit GPU: EVGA GTX 660 FTW 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Display Port PCI-E Graphics Card HD1: Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO - (OS INSTALL ONLY) HD2: 2TB Seagate BARRACUDA 3.5†SATA-III 7200rpm HARDDRIVE 64MB Cache Sguys probably find it hard to believe that this setup can achieve between 22 - 30fps with the PMDG 777 / NGX / Ultimate Traffic 2 / REX / OPUS / FTX GLOBAL / Most add-on scenery. I heavily tweaked the CFG using Kostas tweaks and I'm surprised that a spec like this is running FSX so well. Some people think that FPS between 20 - 30 in FSX is unacceptable but for my nephew it's more than satisfactory even with with the most demanding add-ons. Cheers Scott P.

Impulse Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I suppose those people who think that 30 is too low have never used it on Windows Vista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
