I'm using a 77" TV at 4K. Ultra everything, terrain LOD at 3.0 in UserCfg, getting fluid, stutter-free fps 30+ in all but the most demanding photogrammetry locations. CPU at max 30%, GPU at +60%. Point is, hardware is available - not necessarily cheap though (or readily available). Edited April 28, 20215 yr by Cpt_Piett 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

The whole premise of your question is wrong IMHO. You can indeed run MSFS smoothly on current hardware.. a lot of us do, as you can tell from the responses. Time to close this topic.. 😕 Bert

I’m pleased that the majority are happy with how it’s running, but most seem to be within limits of what they are content with or with what is available now.. So the ideal would be at least 3840x 1280 resolution ultra settings at least 60fps Large city area real world weather realistic AI complex heavy aircraft air hauler 2 or similar when that is achievable then I would say the PC is the match of MSFS. may not be what some would seek and may be a push for a home PC but that’s the point of the discussion

I’ve also spent many years chasing the hardware for FS9 and spent a lot of money on it but never achieved getting it to run how I wanted it to - limitation is as much financial as anything else, but wonder if utopia is possible with MSFS or I would rather not try to get there....

I bought a gaming PC by CLX 3 months ago, just to run MSFS. I had a 5 year old PC that ran P3D like a clock, but it wasn't going to work at all for MSFS. I spent about $1450 for the new one. I saw the exact same PC on sale today by the same dealer for $1900. This is not a hobby for the financially challenged, and with the price of components, it's only going to get worse. .

Think my joystick cost $50 or so, most Joysticks are too heavy to use from a recliner. Maybe one day I'll switch to a flight chair type setup, but don't have anywhere to put it really unless I use a monitor instead of a projector. AMD 5800x | Nvidia 3080 (12gb) | 64gb ram
