July 19, 200817 yr HiI decided to buy a new PC, so if you guys here that know a lot about hardware would suggest something else, or just confirm me that I'll probably have good performance in FS9 with PMDG and a lot of payware scenery...CPU: Intel Pentium D 915 (this one I have in my current PC, and I can't buy the CPU currently (actually, I can't ask my mum the buy everything at the same time))GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 UltimateI know there are slightly better performance cards with more-less the same price, but this one is silent - no vent, just massive heatsinkRAM: DDR2 4GB (2x2GB kit) PC8000 (1000MHz) OCZ, Platinum XTC, DC kitPS: OCZ power supply GameXStream 600W, SLI-readyWould this be enough for good performance with FS9 with a lot of add-ons?Stjepan
July 20, 200817 yr Are you saying this is the system you have now or intend getting? Either way, for a good performance FS9 system the balance is somewhat skewed. You really need a fast cpu and and average GPU, not the other way round. The best bang for buck upgrade you can do for an older system is a 2.4 - 3.0GHz C2D and basic motherboard that carry's over as many of your old components as possible to suit.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
