Getting back to flying, I am tempted by the 310. Would my old jalopy, a 4770+1080 combo, give a smooth ride ?

Thanks

I am using a 4770K+1070 and it works just fine  🙂

And, I also have the TDS GTN750s.. which really add to the experience.

With sensible settings in MSFS, no problem!

Yourself, Bert and I have similar systems;  I'm on a 4790K with 1080 and with MSFS settings between high and medium, in most cases (clearly not places like EGLL ot KJFK) I see 40-50 FPS.  

Go for it!   Don't be put off by some of the posts where people are trying to run the Fenix A320 with everything on Ultra, and a 4k display, with a RTX3090 and only getting 30 FPS 😄   Some of the settings on Ultra have a huge overhead, for barely any visual advantage.   If you're running 1080p, you'll be great, even on 1440p, it'd be manageable.   A 4k monitor is of course a different ball game.

You should be ok. Just keep the Terrain LOD slider at 100 in big cities and you should be able to keep panning stutters under control.

The 310 isn't at all heavy on the FPS.   You'll have no issues.

I started this "adventure" with a 4770 and a 1060 with 4gigs. I had no trouble, and that was while I was on "wi-fi".

Thank you all. I will go for it then, the « owned » feature. looks like a great idea reminiscing of an A2A aircraft. I watched the whole promo video which is pretty informative btw.

@Bert Pieke I’ll keep in mind the 750. It was a great addon in P3D. Loved the services page computing ToD, fuel  etc.
