Simviation Forums

hello all. its been a long time since ive been on the forums.

just trying to gather some opinions of how well fsx would run on my pc as it is right now.

SPECS:
2.4 GHZ intel pentium 4
1.25 GB RAM
60 GB Hard Drive (with sufficient space for fsx)
ATI Radeon X700 Pro 256 MB

basically, tell me how you guys think fsx would run with the specs listed above. i really dont want to upgrade anything at the moment.
if any other info is needed, let me know.

thanks in advance.

i dont know, that card is relatively outdated. but the ram and cpu are fine for the most part


maybe 30-40 FPS? but im no genius

Honestly?

If you expect to see any eye candy and have smooth flight.. no, that system will not even come close.

2GB of high speed memory (3-4 when VISTA arrives)
7900GTX 512 or above
A64 3700+ processor or above (dual core for VISTA will enhance experience)
SATA hard drive, or above

i dotn mean to poke fun... but.... *poke* *poke* *poke*


I have an extremly high end machiene and i dont get it up past 25fps often,  dont even think about autogen...

where else Im going to live? under a bridge?

If you can find electricity under a bridge, IMO that wouldn't be such a bad option!

thanks for your opinions guys. i think im gonna give it a shot. i figure that even if it doesnt run that well, ill have fsx for a new pc or vista when it comes out. have a good one. thanks again.

I don't expect FSX to run at all on my rig...But I will still try to see what I can do...

The highest I get with a P4 3.4 GHz and 2.87 G ram, is 21 fps and that's way up or low in less dense areas.  If I start out at DFW/JFK/MIA the frames start out around 10.  FLL, around 14.   Once I gain some altitude the frames go up to 21.  It's still smooth, thank goodness, but not anything to get excited about.  

Best bet is to just save your money and build a really core 2 rig when Vista and the (tested and reviewed) DX10 cards come out.  

It'll be like getting a whole new FS along with your new computer.

Can't you more simply sell FSX to someone who is wants to spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, and then spend again? ???

I reckon it would be easier on you and your dears to have a roof on your communal heads instead of having FSX working on a new COSTLY rig in the middle of the streets? Wouldn't it?

Think only of the difficulties you'll have in finding a power socket to plug your rig in or a net connection while in the streets. ::)

Yes, and remember to send the bill for the new PC to Bill.

That's the 'minimum' I would suggest... the one I am putting together for full (or as close as possible) FSX ability will run around 2-3 3-4 grand.. home built and will probably be outdated in about a year...

who cares if its outdated ina  year you will still be able to run FSX

but 2 - 3 gb ram deffo for FSX

one other thing....wat until ATI release their DX10 cards before buying one...or even better until the 9 series are released

I don't expect FSX to run at all on my rig...But I will still try to see what I can do...

thats exactly what i want to do as well. thanks for all the help guys!
