ok. i would like to buy a new PC so that i can run xplane 10 at very high settings with flight factor and jar design products with FPS above 30. thanks.

XP is very different in its needs compared to FSX.

 

Some things are the same - for instance the CPU needs to be as powerful as money allows.

 

Consider a 4770K

 

Video card should be powerful too but get 4 GB video ram example gtx 770 4 GB... XP chews through VRAM especially on HDR.

 

Get at least 16 GB ram - the new 10.30 update will add rendering distance options - requiring 8 GB min. With certain addons such as HD mesh or OSM 16 will be pushing it. Also use faster ram with a 4770 - 2400 MHz is good. As always find the lowest timings you can. (Timings are the numbers like 9-9-9-24).

 

And the test shouldn't bee too hard to figure out - get a motherboard which allows overclocking.

 

PSU at least 550W if its a superb brand, 650w for a good brand.

 

Finally I really recommend a SSD. I load XP on a 7200rpm HDD and it takes about 3-4 min with HD mesh/ OSM data. Samsung 840 Evo is good value but only 3 yr warranty / 840 pro better longevity but more money.

 

Good luck

Hi Ryan

Iam à complete Nob at xplane but gone give it à go,

Have two systems free, 4770k 16gig 2666mmz or 4960x 32gig 2400mhz .

Gpu for the xplane pc Titan Z.

What do you think 1150 or 2011?

Does the 2011 have 6 cores? That might be worth it.

....must be able to overclock to 4.8mhz or higher....

Both CPUs do 4.8ghz with HT enabled 24/7 on water .

The overclocking is the easy part for me.

Sure à get problems with settings and tuning X- plane10 only now Fsx.
