August 8, 200916 yr I'm thinking of buying a new system for FSX which is being 'specced' by the manufacturer as follows:i7 975 Extreme (3.33 GHz).ASUS P6T SE motherboard - i7 & i7 Extreme - ATX.6 GB triple-channel DDR3 RAM (1333 mHz) (Manufacturer unspecified).They're also specifying the Nvidia 1792MB GTX295 graphics card.Please help with these questions: 1. Is the above likely to give best FSX performance with 'intense' add-on scenery and aircraft (with no overclocking)?2. Is it worth going for 8 GB RAM rather than 6?3. Is that graphics card 'over the top'? (i.e. Will 1MB GTX285 be good enough?)Thanks for any advice and/or comments.....Toni.
August 8, 200916 yr 1. Is the above likely to give best FSX performance with 'intense' add-on scenery and aircraft (with no overclocking)?A thread in the FSX forum that might be of interest: http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=2563642. Is it worth going for 8 GB RAM rather than 6?No.3. Is that graphics card 'over the top'? (i.e. Will 1MB GTX285 be good enough?)That card has two GPUs which FSX cannot utilize. Go for an OC:ed GTX285 if you don't need the 295 for other programs.
