February 19, 201511 yr Just wondering if this computer will run FSX fine. Thanks for the help! -4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4790 processor (8M Cache, up to 4.0 GHz) -8GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz (4GBx2) -NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 1GB DDR3 -Windows 8.1 (64Bit) -1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s I just realized that I put this post in the wrong forum! Sorry about that, this is my first post.
February 19, 201511 yr Author Thanks for the suggestion. Do you think that in the current configuration, I could run FSX with the 737ngx? I don't use that much scenery.

February 19, 201511 yr Be prepared to change the graphics card out of that if u buy it P3D v4.5 MSFS2020 Hisense 50" 4K TV Ryzen 9600x 64gb DDR5 6000mhz, Asrock B650m HDV/M.2 Gigabyte 16gb 9070XT, Thermalright Aqua Elite 240mm 2TB NVMe Boot/FS2020 Drive, 2TB NVMe P3D Drive.

February 20, 201511 yr Looks like you're going for a notebook; make sure it's ready to run games over a longer period (FSX is very CPU-reliant, so good cooling is needed - often a problem with notebooks). What happened to AVSIM
February 21, 201511 yr That video card is a low end version, even if it is mobile. | 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 |
February 22, 201511 yr Author About how much does the GPU affect the frames in FSX? Is it more of a visual thing? Sorry, but i am not that good at the computer side of flight simulation.
February 22, 201511 yr A middle of the road card is fine, but that's a lower end one. A 750M would be the minimum I'd go with in a notebook. If you don't care about AA (makes jagged edges appear smooth) and you don't care about addons that 720 will probably be compatible with FSX... but that's about it. People play FSX with onboard video in some of the newer desktop CPU's - but just barely. | 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 |
February 22, 201511 yr Author What would you say is an economical card, that is still able to run FSX with the PMDG 737 at good frames? Thanks for the help.
February 22, 201511 yr You will have to seriously dial down your settings with those specs, and forget about payware scenery. It also will not be able to run P3D properly. I would highly recommend putting that money into a custom PC instead, you'll get a much more evolutive system.
February 22, 201511 yr Author I got a really good deal on this computer, so is the GPU the weakest point? And what should I get to replace the GPU? Thanks.
February 23, 201511 yr Author What kind of frames do you think I would get with the PMDG 737 with the GTX 960?
