April 1, 201610 yr Author Just so we are clear, this post is only about P3D not FSX-SE. The review was on P3D which is on a completely different level to FSX-SE.. Marlon Carter - AVSIM Reviewer
April 1, 201610 yr My experience with P3D v3 has been amazing, switched 3 weeks ago from FSX and haven't looked back. Awesome graphics, performance, etc. I have a Lenovo Erazer X510 system with 16GB of RAM and SSD drives. Teofilo Homsany
April 1, 201610 yr When P3D v3 came out, I installed and then shortly after uninstalled it. The same thing happened with P3D v3.1; I haven't bothered yet with P3D v3.2. So for now I fly with FSX Acceleration and FS9.1 only. The reasons: 1. 33% drop in frame rate overall. 2. 50% drop in frame rate when encountering clouds. 3. Extremely poor Anti Aliasing. 4. Compatibility with my existing addons. The probable cause for reasons 1 to 3 is that I am running with only a stock clocked i7-4770 and a GTX 750 Ti 2GB graphics card. Mike Mann

I have a stock i5 at 3.1 G and a GTX 750 TI and P3d 3.2 runs great on my rig.
