Hi,

Buying a new PC for FS2020 and considering this one - AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 4,2 GHz processzor, AMD Radeon RX 5700 8 GB, RAM 16 GB DDR4, SSD 1000 GB

Will this be ok to have a smooth performance. I consider myself as amateur player, but obviously would like to have smooth picture and graphics. I like less busy aiports, if that impacts my choice.ž

Thanks a lot!

That 2600x is kind of an old CPU. You would be much better off getting one of the new Zen 3 processors like a 5600X. Unfortunately they are very hard to come by right now. If you can wait a bit until they are more readily available, you will be much better off. If you can't wait then at least get a 3600 or better. This is assuming you want an AMD CPU. The rest of the build doesn't sound too bad.

Thanks a lot Paulluck. I'm lost with these configurations and giving myself some upper price limits.

Price wise also these could be considered - may I ask for the best choice out of these please?

AMD RYZEN 5 3600 4,2 GHz processzor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB, RAM 16 GB DDR4, SSD 1000 GB, 

Intel Core i7 9700F Coffee Lake 4,7 GHz processzor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB, RAM 16 GB DDR4, SSD 1000 GB

Intel Core i5 10400F Comet Lake 4,3 GHz processzor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB, RAM 16 GB DDR4, SSD 1000 GB

Intel Core i5 10400F Comet Lake 4,3 GHz processzor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB, RAM 16 GB DDR4, SSD 512 GB + HDD 1 TB

@Mitk, welcome to AvSim. 👍 Of those you list I consider this is the one most suitable...

Intel Core i7 9700F Coffee Lake 4,7 GHz processzor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB, RAM 16 GB DDR4, SSD 1000 GB

Its a 9th generation Intel i7 processor and whilst not the latest or fastest will give you reasonable performance providing the screen resolution doesn’t exceed 1920*1080.

If you can get a faster graphics card that will help quite a bit as MFS is heavily dependent on the graphics card as well as the CPU. The 2070 has 8Gb VRAM But is another £400. The alternative is to turn settings down.

Many thanks, Ray. Looks like we have a winner 🙂

Is there any prospect for a CPU upgrade in the next two years or so? If you get a Ryzen system with a B450/X470 motherboard or newer, it means that later you can upgrade to a Zen 3 CPU with a considerable performance improvement over what you can get now. But if not, then the 9700F would be the best choice for now indeed.

I agree with Ray & ChaoticBeauty that for now the 9700 will give you the best performance.

Thanks guys, PC bought, now downloading FS. Unfortunately download doesn't really go fast - around 1-3 Mbit/s, even thoughh my internet speed is 500 Mbit/s...
