I have the following system and planning to buy a new graphics card to make the step from fsx to p3d. I'm between 1050ti and RX 470. intel i5-750 overclocked @ 3.3Ghz Ati 5770 8GB ram I know that rx-470 is generally about 25% faster than the 1050ti and frankly that's the one i'm thinking of buying, but i'm wondering if a nvidia graphics card is a must now days for p3d, if rx-470 will be the same or better for p3d and if there's any feedback about the performance of P3D from users that have recent AMD graphics cards. I'm always noticing people claiming that nvidia is the way to go for p3d, but they provide no justifications apart from the fact the some 3-4 years ago users with ATI were experiencing lower frames rates in clouds. Any help/feedback would be grateful! -
Hello all, I’ve recently purchased a new budget build for FSX\P3D. Being from Canada, our dollar is not doing so well. So, with that in mind, I thought it would be fun to see what I could get out of a (1000$CAD - 750$ USD) system. The whole point of this build, is to see if you could get acceptable performance, without having to break the bank. I wanted to share this build in case someone else was looking for a similar price point. List of parts ordered: Intel Core i5-7600 3.5GHz - 4.2GHz Turbo Quad-Core Processor $299.99 MSI B250I GAMING PRO AC Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard $144.99 Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory $88.02 MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Video Card $209.99 BitFenix Neos ATX Mid Tower Case $44.99 Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $84.98 LG GH24NSC0B DVD/CD Writer $24.98 Western Digital 500GB HDD. (From another PC) Intel 250GB SSD (From another PC) Total: $1005.70 (CAD) Inc Tax. Initially, I was going to order the N200 Mini ITX Case but, they were back ordered. (Latest estimate was 4 weeks). So, I decided to grab the BitFenix instead. (Still a great case). With regards to OS, I would prefer Win 7 but, thanks to Microsoft, that wont be happening. I have Win 10 from a previous system, thankfully! I was split between two paths. First path was an i5-7600k with a AsRock Pro4 ATX Board and a EVGA 1050ti. Unfortunately, it ended up being over budget by 150$ I was very keen on keeping it under 1000$ So, I ended up with the above list. The i5-7600 is still a great performing Quad Core. Might not be able to overclock but, still has a max turbo frequency of 4.2 GHz. I will be posting some results in the next few weeks to show how it performs. Cheers,
