May 29, 201115 yr Hi All,A local PC shop is selling a nice computer that I think would do well with FSX.

May 29, 201115 yr Commercial Member That looks like a pretty good default system to run FSX these days. Plan to OC to 4GHz. or higher for good FPS. I would suggest two things:1. A good PSU (800 watts or so)2. A second hard drive. One for the OS and the 2nd for FSX.Just my 2 Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!) Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11), EVGA 1300W PSUNetgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displaysFull array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.

May 31, 201115 yr I own very similar configuration (i5 2500, 2x4GB RAM, GeForce 450GTS with 1GB GDDR5. Only what you need for smooth FSX working is 64bit Win7 OS.I'm using FSX with Acceleration, REX and I have details and autogen set as high as possible because I often fly low with heli (my favourite is 206 from Dodosim).You should be satisfied with configuration you described.
May 31, 201115 yr That PSU is plenty as long as you don't starting adding multiple video cards.System looks great overall. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
