FSX performance??
FSX performance??
Hi all! I have been having a massive amount of fun on FS2004 since the day I got it and I am now looking to upgrade to FSX. I have heard that it can be dodgy to run and I want to know whether my computer will run it reasonably well?
I have a 2.5ghz i5 processor and an integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics card. I have 6.00GB of RAM
Any help appreciated

Re: FSX performance??
Might struggle with the lack of graphics card, but should run reasonably well with the settings turned down.
Re: FSX performance??
Would it run well enough for a smooth frame rate?

Re: FSX performance??
With all the settings turned down it should run ok, but I'd look at investing in a new Graphics Card though to get the most out of it.
Just as a comparison to your computer here's what I'm currently running and depending on scenery etc I can average around 15fps!
AMD Athlon 64 X2 fx5200 (2.7GHz), 4GB DDR2, MSI HD6450 2GB

Re: FSX performance??
Overclock the CPU, it'll give you more fps than a new GPU will.
Re: FSX performance??
Over clocking isn't really an option, I'm playing on a laptop which is mostly mine but is used by my Dad as a Karaoke machine for his disco. Can anyone reccomend maybe a cheapish graphics card that will run FSX on good settings?
Re: FSX performance??
If you're on a laptop, how do you plan on upgrading the graphics card?
Re: FSX performance??
forgot about that!
I think I will get it and use it on low settings on the laptop. I am looking to get my own desktop in 1-2 years so I will probably look to get it running properly on that. Thanks of tall the help, much appreciated

Re: FSX performance??
If you're happy with fs9 and it runs nice on your system, why change?
Re: FSX performance??
I will still use FS9 but FSX has a few features that I want for a few of my flights like moving jetways etc. It also has a few add ons which I simply can't find in the same quality on FS9

Re: FSX performance??
The thing is, you may not find the quality of stuff for fs9 that you can for FSX, but if you move to FSX with a low end system, you simply won't get that quality anyway
Re: FSX performance??
Not just model quality, the way it handles is important. Like I said I will still be running FS9
