I am a newby here, installed X-plane 10 last week on my 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 with 8 gb ram, 3.1g intel core i5 with GeForce GT 610 DDR3 graphics card. after going through reviews on my graphics card realised that the 600 series nvidia cards will not fit to my needs. Xplane runs well in sceneries without much details, while in custom sceneries like EGLL frame rate drops as lower as 8fps. i am thinking of upgrading my GT600 card, somewhere in a review it was written that DDR 3 is not meant for games rather it is meant for display purpose.
will i get better results with DDR5 1gb graphics cards?or should i go for DDR5 2 gb cards?any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
