August 2, 20169 yr Hi All, Haven't had a new machine since well before P3D was released. My old machine died a quick and painless death so I was left with my laptop with an I7 4th gen 4500U at 1.6 GHz 2 core with a max turbo of 3.0 GHz and an Nvidia 745M. P3D v3 actually runs well as long as the settings are fairly low. At any rate here is my new machine. Intel 6700k @ 4GHz 8 GB DDR4 @ 2666GHz ASUS Z170 Mobo 600W PS GE Force GTX1060 8GB Air cooled Think it will run P3D v3 well? I'm at my budget limit. Thanks
August 2, 20169 yr Moderator Should do just fine as long as you don't slam all the settings to the max. If you can get the CPU clocked a little higher it will help. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
August 2, 20169 yr You will have an awesome machine..and yes Over clock to around 4.5Ghz with an aircooler. Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
August 2, 20169 yr It's a great system for P3D. My 6700K is at 4.7GHz on water and HT on and the DDR4 is at 3.3GHz. Really runs well. Dan Downs KCRP
