Running FSX on an iMac

Featured Replies

just curious to see if anyone else was running fsx on a mac. i put bootcamp on my imac and got insanely amazing performance out of fsx. im pretty much running will all the settings jacked. i run will everything on medium low on my pc and get no more that 25fps. i was get no lower that 25 on the imac.

Well the mac has way better specs than the pc. If you had a pc with the macs spec, you would get even better performance !!!

And in your PC?

2.33 ghz core 2 duo, 3 gigs of ram, geforce 7600 gt in the imac. 2.4 ghz amd athlon 64, 2 gigs of ram, ati radeon x850xt in the pc

>2.33 ghz core 2 duo, 3 gigs of ram, geforce 7600 gt in the>imac. 2.4 ghz amd athlon 64, 2 gigs of ram, ati radeon x850xt>in the pcAfter looking at the Macs I have discovered that they are very expensive. A PC with the same components is far cheaper. A reseller has confirmed that I'm not imagining things but the Macs are indeed expensive. So why spending extra money for a Mac?

ive had the pc for awhile, and for my job doing video production i needed final cut, so i got a mac. the pc was cheaper than final cut was too. but i was fooling around one day with the mac and decided to put windows on it to see how fsx would run. now the mac is my editing and simulator computer. but let me tell ya, fsx doesnt compare physics wise to x-plane. fsx hasnt really helped me through my flight training for controlling and airplane, but it has helped for instrument flying.

>Well the mac has way better specs than the pc. If you had a>pc with the macs spec, you would get even better performance>!!!No, an INTEL Mac is no different than a comparable configured PC. The only difference is you can run MAC OS on the MAC and not the PC, and you have more choices of video cards available on the PC. Through Bootcamp the MAC runs Windows natively, so on a PC with the same speed CPU, Memory, and comparable Video Card, as the IMAC there should be no difference in performance, everything else being equal! So unless you want the flexibility to run MAC OS, it's not worth the extra money they cost!
