New PC

Post by Abe Werda »

Can anyone please, give me a name of good PC for the flight simulator (FSX). My computer is old and I would like to get a new one, gamer PC hopefully. I am not computer sophisticated, so I have no idea which one to buy. Thanks your help

Just as a reference for you, I upgraded several years ago to the i7 4770K processor (no overclocking yet) and moved from 4GB to 8GB of memory. This ran FSX very well with most scenery sliders at half to 3 quarters of maximum. I got 25-30fps (I capped it at 30) and great looking scenery with REX clouds, Orbx textures/regions, and FSDreamteam airports. About a year ago I moved to P3Dv4 which required me to upgrade my old graphics card to a GeForce 1060 and I still get great performance. Recently been thinking about trying some overclocking just to see if I can detect any difference.
