Hardware Issues?

Postby Ashton Lawson » Sun Sep 10, 2006 7:13 am

This is just to see how people think there current hardware will run FSX.  I don't think many are going to put Brilliant (unless they're idiots...).

What do you think?

My current setup will run FSX well enough to wait until Vista, Direct 10 is out, plus the hardware required.  This time next year I'll build a new rig.

Yup....... rather poorly.  Probably "OK"............ if you don't want to actually GET all the features you are paying for  :P  ;).

PS:  Preparing for a MASSIVE computer upgrade in the near distant future.  Again.  Somehow the $70 sim ends up actually costing FAR more than that  ;D.


...would that be a near future, or a distant future, John...?

Paul....It's almost exactly 15:42.... ;)...LOL... ;D...!

Paul,

Thanks for the "timecheck"... that helps me with the Euro Tour Hop #18 multiplayer scheduled for later today.  Comparing times, it looks like you are on GMT -1 there in the UK right now?

Hi John....
When I just read your 16:42 message here, my time was 16:48 UK Time...;)...!

Sounds about right...!

Paul....  8)...!


Note that 16:48 is nearly 10minutes to 5 O'clock in the afternoon, (tea-time), for we "oldies"....;)...!

I think it will be ok on my system, but not how i will like it.  I'm waiting for DX10 gfx cards then upgrading to a new system with Vista and probably quad core by then.

With a Venice core AMD64 3500+ and a XFX Nvidia 7600 GT, I wouldn't think so.  :(

But I'll tread water with this setup and not waste money till I am able to build a capable system next year without having to sell a Kidney to afford it.  I could easily upgrade my CPU right now, for instance, but what's the short-term point ?

Well with my stock built in GPU on this new computer I can run half settings at 1440X900 (My monitors size) so I imagine with a new PCI-E Card I can run medium high or high..... but as it stands now it runs it okay as I selected.... Cheers, Gunny (the half comes from running the demo)
