ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 -Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67 GHz 8 gigs of RAM and 500 gig disk space I know very little about computers so if someone could comment on how this system would handle the NGX with some nice scenery that would be great!!

July 18, 201213 yr Hi. Just so you can gauge how well off you are. I have Dell Laptop with 4 gb ram, i3 2nd gen @ 2.3. 500gb 5400rpm. And Intel 3000HD for grphx. With UTX, GEX and REX Essential, sitting on LAX 07R rwy. I get bout 11-14 fps sitting in VC of NGX (will all high def pmdg sliders enabled).
July 18, 201213 yr wow, i wonder how you can do that with an intel HD3000.. i have a geforce gtx 675m, intel i7 with 3 to 4 GHZ, 7200rpm harddrive and i get the same amount of fps at eddf (dont know about lax but i dont think that i will get that much more fps). can you post your settings? even though you have a rather weak laptop, it would be interesting to know. i use all the tweaks recommended Tebin Ulrich
July 18, 201213 yr I will trade your friends "old computer" for my "new computer" any time. Your pc will handle the NGX just fine. Jon Alexander.

All The Best Brad Cherrington This is almost identical to my system I built in december 2008 (IIRC), except I have overclocked the the CPU to 3.9 ghz. It is more than capable of running the NGX and all my addons (like rex essentials, ORBX AU Blue, radar contact, fs2crew etc etc). Infact it still runs so well with every modern game I have thrown at it I haven't even considered upgrading anything and wont until it starts to stuggle with new games, which it hasn't yet. If you really crank up the details and it does bog down for you a bit in FSX I would suggest a overclock (25-30% gain from that alone) and ******* Bojote tweak, that will get you a lot of extra performance http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html Only thing I was considering was maybe updating the video card because it isn't DX11, but I don't think I will bother, it certainly still has enough outright grunt.

July 19, 201213 yr Commercial Member I would update the GPUs to something like a single GTX 560 Ti. Get a good third party cooler and OC the CPU to 4.0+ and you'll have a great machine for FSX. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
