August 12, 20205 yr i think you are wasting money if your pc can't run the new sim.....do not buy it, use money to upgrade your old hardware then buy it👍
August 12, 20205 yr Author not wasting anything since sooner or later I will buy MSFS anyway, was waiting for it for a decade and won't let it slip. will wait until after my return from vacation and then make a decision Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
August 12, 20205 yr I've been wondering the same thing. My PC is mostly up to spec with the exception being the GPU. I have the following setup: ASUS ROG GL752 i7-6700HQ 24GB RAM But here's the problem Nvidia GTX965M Doing some homework and despite being a few generations newer than the 7 series Geforce it's a good 30-40% slower than the minimum 770 they state in the specs. I run most xbox games fine on this machine and have played forza 6, 7 and horizon 3 and 4 on here without issue. X-Plane 11 runs pretty well on this setup and I also play FSX from time to time with decent results. I have GamePass so i'm giving it a shot and hoping for the best before I pull the trigger. There are no upgrades or new PC's in my near to medium term future.

I am not afraid. Let's do this - whatever we have. I have a feeling we'll all be able to run with the bulls and reassess our hardware on the fly. . . It's going to be great. x
August 13, 20205 yr I admire your enthusiasm. however a 780Ti is head and shoulders above a 965M lol Example from Passmark: 78Ti - 9,180 965M - 3,815 I'm in trouble! LOL
August 13, 20205 yr Yeah, but you've got that 17 6700HQ which I think has a very good edge on my i7 4790K, and you've got 24 GB RAM over my 16 GB. --- Wait, I love it - we're arguing about who's got the worst rig to run MSFS 😃 We should go fly together on MSFS Multiplayer and create the longest transition time between two PowerPoint slides that the World has ever known. . .

August 13, 20205 yr Same problem here. Partly above, partly (slightly) below min spec. Since I can't load on day 1 anyway I'm looking forward to whatever comes out of your experiments.
August 15, 20205 yr NY is my test case aside from being my home. You know, Frank Sinatra made an excellent point about his experience with flight sim and NY. "If I can play it there, I'm gonna play it anywhere" I might be paraphrasing.
August 15, 20205 yr Yes, i ran it with an AMD APU (Ryzen 5 3400G) and it crawls but runs. The Vega11 is similar to a GTX285, so very very old.

August 18, 20205 yr You might get a warning message upon starting the program. Other than that it will start and run below minimum specs. Kiribati in the C152 with minimum settings and render scaling tuned down below 100 is smooth as silk. GTX750Ti here. 😝 Edited August 18, 20205 yr by badderjet
August 18, 20205 yr Technically the 750Ti is about exactly the same as the 965M. Glad to hear it will at least run.... Too bad i like VFR in places i know... NYC is not gonna be fun lol

I'm somewhat concerned about my CPU not supporting some of the newer instruction sets, but so far it's a good sign the launcher is working.
August 18, 20205 yr Author Thx ! Sounds great. Now I just need to get back home but still enjoying French sun for 10 more days..

August 18, 20205 yr Well, I'm going to load it up today and see what happens. Will have fire extinguisher standing by. i7 4790K, 16 Gig DDR3, MSI 780Ti, 2 x 250 SSD. Ummm, see post below for sudden change of mind. Edited August 18, 20205 yr by Will Fly For Cheese

Don't worry about it, I'm having lots of trouble with the download client and so do many others. Might be worth waiting until the biggest bugs are fixed and the load on the servers is reduced. Enjoy the French sun!
