Can anyone give me some good specs that can run FSX on highest settings?
I am looking to upgrade my pc, so Fsx can run better.
I want to run it on highest settings, as well as scenery add-ons.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks
Alex  :)

Water cool the CPU and GPU and you can even do some more overclocking

CPU Core i7 965 EE from the default 3.2 to 4.5
GPU nVidia GTX 285 from default 648/1476/2484 to 750/1650/2800

Sure, use Liquid Nitrogen while you're at it.

Excellent advice/warning for all the new, Newbie, FSX enthusiasts... ...!

I would really like to see the system MS used to run FSX. You know they had to have a computer fast enough to test everything and make it work fully maxed out. Why don't they just put THAT on the side of the box as a "recommended" system? haha

Recommended for maximum performance:

University of Washington Supercomputer
IBM Manufactured
360 Teraflops (minimum)
One large empty warehouse
300-400 milion dollars
Staff of 50 for maintenance

And we'd still have to ask Nick for tuning tips! (nick, I want to overclock my supercomputer. It's only 360 teraflops now. Can I get to 400 with this set-up?)

i7 proc
6gb of the right ram

....clocked. very clocked.

A Cray computer probably couldn't even run FSX... the archetecture isn't designed for it.  ::)
