Your dream PC to Run FSX

[PisTon]

You people have already forgot what M€$ admitted when FS9 went out in the shops three years ago, haven't you?

For those of short memory, way back then M€$ admitted that a PC powerful enough to make FS9 run smoothly did not yet at the time exist.

Do YOU really think that this time around things will be different? :-/

Please.

Read my post. K8L nor X2900XTXs are out yet.

MAC G5 Quad.

Why?
PowerPC archetecture isn't very good, plus tere isn't DX10 cards for it.

Hmmm... I'll definately want a computer that has an nVidia Geforce that has 10 terrabytes of memory on it and

[machineman9]

hehe that sucks

Yah, I know all of you probably think waiting for DirectX 10 compatible Video cards are the best thing to do.  It is!  But I just want to know what you think would be the best with nowadays cards.

Something paid for

It's hard to tell.
Todays material will certainely no be enough for FSX, which is scheduled in at least 4 months.

I agree.

THe computers they were running the Beta on were still getting only 10 or so FPS at certain times  :o

[cheesegrater]

Pentium II 350 MHZ
64MB RAM
Voodoo 3

I wish it would run on this computer because that means it would run on my current computer.

[Ashton Lawson]

Don't we all wish that...

(if this could happen, we'd hav seriously cr@p graphics...)

(but excellent fps... )

Let's please stick to normal graphics cards please.  Not great big, huge mad-house VGA things bigger than a comp power-supply...

Cuz, no VGA card can achieve FSX full settings on unlimeted frame rate.

It might help if for once, microsoft were open and honest about what systems they use for development.

Example: latest video clip shows very good performance on a large display, jitter free and excellent resolution. Somehow it just strikes me that their systems might be very discreet and hence infinately more powerful than average commercial gear.

If the developers have nothing to hide, and can back their minimum spec statements then perhaps we could have some info on what they use?

This could save a lot of anxiety and frustration amongst their customer base.

I personally can see no reason why this cannot be done, and I am sure a lot of people would be very interested to know what microsoft use.

There is no such thing as forced hardware upgrades, so there should be no problem.

They indeed told quite precisely what kind of config they were using for the beta shows, but I can't find back the info...surely saw it in some post on some other forum... arf, damned memory

Dream PC
Socket AM2 dual-dualcore with at least 4GB memory and the fastest GEForce available

Reasonable choice
Fastest dualcore that fits my board, and 1GB extra

hmm, my new dream (and i will get it because its only
