September 6, 201411 yr Hi, until now I'm using FS2004 (full with Addons: REX; GEPRO; UTE; Mega & German Airports; ifly 737; PMDG; ENB-Bloom). But now I'm thinking of switching to FSX because I got a new PC. My Question is if anybody can tell me wether FSX is running with Addons on my PC My System: Intel Core i7 4770K @ 3.9 GHz (I don't want to overclock it) Asus Z87-PRO Nvidea Geforce GTX 770 Direct GUI OCC 2GB 8 GB DDR3 RAM Samsung SSD Is it possible to fly with this addons over 20 FPS: REX ORBX PMDG 777 u.737 Mega Airports u. German Airports Traffic (World of AI) 25% traffic UTE X Is it worth to switch to fsx? Hope to get answers Sorry but my English isn't so good ^_^ FlyingEngineer I am an enthusiastic flight simulator pilot from Germany with strong interests in aeronautics, materials science, engineering and programming.

September 6, 201411 yr I think your hardware is fine for FSX. As for getting over 20 FPS with a lot of addons, I don't know, but as long as the simulation runs smooth, I don't think it matters all that much. My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
September 6, 201411 yr 20fps minimum, no. You will be in the low teens. If you overclock to 4.5GHz, then maybe but still will dip to mid teens.
September 11, 201411 yr Author Thanks for quick answer. What would be the ´´best´´ FSX PC Or are there good tweaks that gives more performance?

September 11, 201411 yr Moderator You can run fsx very well on that pc I agree with Bert, no problem. I ran FSX for a long time with an older, slower rig than that and had no issues. Granted not all settings were maxed but I was able to hold over 25 for most of the time into places like LAX or JFK with AI set to 70% flying the NGX. Anyone who can't maintain 25 fps or higher while running a complex a/c and addons with a quad core running at 3.85ghz or better has some set up issues or is trying to max every setting. Obviously the higher clock the better, but anything over 3.85 with decently fast ram shouldn't have an issue as long as your setup is optimized properly.

September 11, 201411 yr Author I'm happy to hear this I've installed it on my machine with ORBX; World of AI; Mega Airport Düsseldorf; The old Mega airport Frankfurt and the Qualitywings BAe 146. The framerate is just fine in the air and Fsx is loading the Textures are loading very fast. The performance in Düsseldorf is fine too. (< 25 FPS). But at Mega Airport Frankfurt the Framerate breaks down to 15 FPS. Have anybody the same FPS at Frankfurt?

September 11, 201411 yr I have the same CPU and similar motherboard (Z87-A). I would advise to set all four cores and cache to 4.0 GHz. This will run nice and cool with the standard fan and cooler. Although Intel talks about 3.9 turboboost, that is only if a single core is active.. Under an FSX load, it will only go up to 3.7. be aware.. ^_^ Bert
