FSX Best Hardware

[Adam24]

Hi
I just wanted to know, what are the minimum specs for FSX to run without any lag? Im talking about absolutelly no-lag, even with all sliders maxed out, addon scenery, addon traffic, hd textures (like REX), hd aircraft... You know, imagine the most framerate consuming situation. What PC can handle this, and still give reasonably good fps? Do I need unsane amounts of ram, ghz, and a expensive graphics card? Or a typical new PC is enough?

Check with NASA!

Max everything? HD add-ons?
I assume it is gonna take at least a 6GHz CPU, 6-8GB of DDR3-3000 RAM, a 12GB/sec SSD, all on a motherboard that can support those RAM and SATA speeds.
Today's high-end video cards will probably be plenty for a single monitor solution. But then again. ...Don

I have Addon scenery, maxed-out sliders for scenery mesh, etc. And also FPS set to auto or maxed out. It didn't run well till I upgraded to a full 2 Gig memory max on my computer. I was running only 1 gig of memory before that. Yeah, Yeah I know I'm not up to speed with and Emachines 2.0Ghz processor, but it works great!
