FSX performance on 27" iMac

Featured Replies

Hi everyone.Does anyone know what kind of performace i can expect to get from FSX with windows 7 64 bit via bootcamp on my iMac27? The specs on my machine is:Core i5 2,8 GHZ quad core , ATI radeon HD 5750 with 1 GB. 4GB of ram. This is the latest model of 27 iMac ( mid 2010)Does anyone play FSX on this machine , if so what can i expect? Thanks :)

I used to (mine was the i7), until i just designed my current FSX rig. It ran decent, frames in the 20-30 range in dense airports with REX UTX GEX PMDG LDS etc... With dual monitors btw... i had a 27" led cinema display hooked up to it. at level flight in cruise altitudes, i was seeing 60 frames. Not too bad, but not like what i get now :)
