Will X Plane Run Well?

Recommended Posts

I am planning on buying X Plane very soon.  I am brand new to flight sim but excited to get started.  Can anyone provide insight on the quality of my hardware and if X Plane will run well (meaning smooth, with decent graphics) for the following hardware I currently have:

 

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

Processor is Intel Core i7-4800 MQ 2.7GHz

RAM is 32 GB

Graphics Card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M with 3 GB Ram

Screen has a 120 refresh rate (not sure if that matters)

HD is 800 GB with 100 GB from solid state drive

 

I think it will be good, but I just want to be sure if I need to consider anything else.

 

Thank you,

Brian

It'll run fine. I have a similar laptop, not sure if yours has the turbo boost option as mine can hit 3.2Ghz. Download the demo, making sure to update it to get a feel for the performance, be advised the KSEA is one of the heavier areas.

Brian, I think you're good to go. Like Vincent said, download the demo and get a feel for the sim.
