October 31, 200718 yr Hi I've been simming for a year or so with FS9 but I would really like to upgrade to FSX. Do you guys think these are ok specs for right now?

November 2, 200718 yr Welcome f16.t38. I don't think you will be happy with results, using that laptop for FSX. Unless you fly very high with no clouds the fps may be too low.Look at my specs below. I average between a l;ow of 4 to the mid teens in FSX. I am using the recommended settings (average) for my system specs. JohnMy first SIM was a Link Trainer. My last was a T-6 IIAMD Ryzen 7 7800 X3D@ 5.1 GHz, 32 GB DDR5 RAM - 3 M2 Drives. 1 TB Boot, 2 TB Sim drive, 2 TB Add-on Drive, 6TB Backup data hard driveRTX 3080 10GB VRAM, Meta Quest 3 VR Headset
November 2, 200718 yr FSX runs acceptably on the notebook in my sig, but I wouldn't want to have specs any lower. Mind you, that's because I have been spoiled by my desktop. Everyones trigger point for FSX acceptability will be different, but certainly if you run FSX on the same hardware you run FS9 upon, you will have to trade performance for eye candy.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
