Just for compare/contrast, the last Intel machine I had was a Pentium 3.
I use all AMD now.
Specs are in my sig, and I only get less than 30 FPS leaving JFK in Captainsim's 777. Busy airport and traffic, ALL settings maxed, CFG tweaked to max 4096 textures, in other words, all maxed, and only tweaked for higher detail.
REX, Ultimate Traffic 2, UTX global, all at maximum. On AMD. Believe it.
Any newer board should handle any PCIe graphics card. Brand is no concern in the least.
