May 12, 20179 yr I has a look at the system requirements that are available for the new sims for this year and I see the one has the minimum requiremenst of an i3-6100 (2-core @ 3.7Ghz) and the other an i5-6600 (4-core @ 3.3Ghz). I'm running a i7-4790k (4-core @ 4.7Ghz), so non of the requirend ones for the new sims have more cores and both have significantly lower speed. As a novice in computer specs, I'd say that the 4790k is ahead on both of them. Now what are those 6th gen processors different from the 4th gen, that 2 core @ 3.7Ghz, or 4 cores @ 3.3Ghz is good enough but an i7-4790k with 4 cores @ 4.7Ghz wouldnt be able to cope anymore? Cheers! Maarten
May 12, 20179 yr The two 6xxx series you listed above fall short of what your 4790K @ 4.7GHz can do. They would be a giant step backward for you. Also, keep in mind that all developers state minimum hardware requirements that will run their product at minimum frame rate and in stock configuration. Whereas, we all want to have higher frame rates (at least smooth operation) and throw a bunch of addons at the base sim. Like you I have a 4790K and it does just fine. Good, strong performer!

May 12, 20179 yr Author That's what I thought. So minimum requirements is not a 6th generation, anything older with the these, or better specs will do. Thank, Greg! :) Cheers! Maarten

Thank, Greg! :) Hm.. no, those 6th gen *ARE* the minnimum requirement. *Minimum* means the lowest you need to run the program... anything from there UP/Newer works, but lower/older will NOT work
May 12, 20179 yr Author So a 4th gen is not enough, even though the specs are better than the minimum requirements? Cheers! Maarten

The newer processors are able to handle certain things better, but as for games, it won't know the difference. Nick Hatchel "Sometimes, flying feels too godlike to be attained by man.

May 12, 20179 yr Author Yeah, ok. That's what I wanted to know. Basically speaking, for my use, I have to count cores and speed :P Cheers! Maarten
May 12, 20179 yr you'll be fine... I'm still on my 2500K 4GHz I run XP11 pretty well... but urban areas it's definitely showing its age. | 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 |
