Hi everyone,
I'm thinking to buy and install PMDG 737NGX on FSX, if I find out it's performance is going to be satisfactory without any stuttering of issues.
I'm runnng FSX on my new laptop HP Pavilion with following specification:
CPU: intel Core i7-4500U @ 1.80 GHz 2.4 GHz
RAM: 8GB
OS: windows 8.1 64-bit
Graphic: GeForce 740M
details: Graphics clock 980 MHz
CUDA cores: 384
Memory data rate: 1800MHz
Memory interface: 64-bit
Memory bandwidth: 14.40 GB/s
Available G. Mem: 4096 MB
System video Memory: 0 MB
Dedicated Video Mem: 2048MB
HDD: 750GB, TOSHIBA MQ01ABD075
, 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
I have also Saitek Yoke and throtle accessories.
I compared this graphic card to Minimum requirements specified in PMDG website and it's a little bit unclear if GT740M is better or worse than that.
I know settings and configurations naky make some difference, so I'm assuming installing in best possible configuration.
Q1. Will PMDG work smoothly and satisfactorily in above setting?
Q2. If not, are there any small upgrades that can help to get to that point? (e.g. upgrading RAM to 16GB, etc)
I can provide any other info if needed, let me know.
I wanna make sure I'm not throwing my money away by buying PMDG only to find out it does not work without problem.
Has anyone using similar platform or technical knowledge and would like to share?
I'd appreciate any thoughts and comments.
Thanks
Matt
