February 16, 20197 yr I have P3DV3 but I am not sure if it'll run AMD Athlon ii x2 ATI Radeon 3000 6GB RAM
February 16, 20197 yr Just about every software company posts system requirements on their official page: https://www.prepar3d.com/system-requirements/

The Athlon II x2 family are 10 years old and the ATI Radeon 3000 is even older. Prepar3D v3 is a modern simulator designed to run well on modern hardware. You'd have to lower your settings significantly to even enjoy default scenery and aircraft. I seriously doubt you'd be able to run and of the higher-end aircraft or sceneries. Not tying to be a Debbie-Downer, but you asked for opinions. Hopefully a few more will chime in. Edit: It also appears the ATI Radeon 3000 only supports DirectX 10 and LM lists minimum requirements to be DirectX 11. That may be an issue.

I agree with Doug, it may run, but I wouldn't expect much in the way of performance, and that would be assuming that settings are probably at the lowest possible levels, or very nearly so... Scott

February 17, 20197 yr You would probably be better off trying FSX Steam Edition and see how it performs. It is DX9 based, so it shouldn't need much to get going. If it performs well, then P3D may be a possibility. Edited February 17, 20197 yr by exeodus Alan

February 18, 20197 yr Well, DX10 was incomplete, and runs in DX9 by default unless you turn the preview mode on. Alan
