March 6, 20242 yr Good night... Today is the day I have written the most on this forum in my entire life. Today when I was about to leave class, I saw a graphics card, it was a Radeon X550 with 128mb vram. My question is to know if I have enough to play fs9 with large addons, or play fsx, although from what I have seen, 256mb is recommended.

March 7, 20242 yr Do you seriously need an almost 20-year old GPU? While 256 MB was the recommended spec for FSX, those specs were rather optimistic. With FS9, I endured with a 2GB 940MX (mobile, but already had 2 GB). I struggled to keep 30 FPS at all times, but that was because of my CPU (an i5-7200U). The last decent experience I had with a GPU was with a Radeon HD 4350. But that was so long ago, that I don't remember how did I fare. All I remember is that I was CPU limited. For FSX, in my experience, I recommend to use Prepar3D v3 requirements instead: https://www.prepar3d.com/product-overview/system-requirements/#prepar3d-v3 These are closer to reality. EDIT: I saw your other posts, and I see you intend to fly the iFly 737. I'm sure the X550 won't be enough for that. If you want some specs guidance, use the ones for the FS9 iFly 747 (the payware one). This is the heaviest plane I've ever seen for FS9, regarding FPS.

Even try other games like call of duty 1, etc... Although I don't think I'm going to get it since I still haven't gotten it to turn on properly.

March 7, 20242 yr Ah, hahahaha, got it. In this case, it may help, at least for the challenge 😉 Best regards,Luis Hernández Main rig: self built, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (with SMT off and CO -50 mV), 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, Nvidia RTX 5060Ti 16GB, 256 GB M.2 SSD (OS+apps) + 2x1 TB SATA III SSD (sims) + 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD (storage), ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS air cooler, Viewsonic VX2458-MHD 1920x1080@120-144 Hz (G-sync compatible), Windows 11.
