Hi!

 

I would like to buy a new PC and I thought that I can buy the GTX 1050. Do you think it´s a good graphic card for P3D?

 

Other Hardware:

 

Intel Core i5 6500

GA-B150-HD3P

12 GB RAM

 

Sorry for my bad english, I´m from Germany.

 

Thank you!

The GTX 1050 is a rather weak GPU.

 

It will run P3D but you will have to turn down quite alot of graphics settings.

 

Don't expect great performance from that card.

Try to squeeze for a GTX1060 or even a GTX980 Ti. Latter is outgoing so prices should be falling (and some going second hand) but it is still a very good card for P3D with high settings. Must hook your GPU up with good motherboard, RAM and CPU to get full benefit though.

The GTX 1070 is a great value as well I think....I'd probably skip the 1050 and at least do a 1060.
