FRED AMBLER Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have just obtained a dell computer which runs vista,because I'm sick of trying to get FSX to run on my windows 8.1 pc, it is a quad core with 4 gig of ram running at 2.23 ghz, it's got a nvidia geforce 9500 gt graphics card on board which has 512 mb of memory, I've loaded FSX and yes it runs ok but I would like to be able to push the display sliders further to the right without getting a jerky simulation, my questions are, Is this pc adequate as it is? Would a graphic card with 2 gig of memory be better? And if so which card would you recomend to somebody on a limited budget? I hope you can help, regards FRED.

mrzippy Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It's the CPU speed that is holding you back. "I feel the need.....The need for speed" Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrussell Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 With that processor you'll be limited to low settings in Fsx. Unlike computer games, fsx needs a fast processor more than anything else. A bigger graphics card will not help. It will be bottle necked by the processor. Post the specs on your 8.1. It may be a viable option.There is no reason why Fsx cannot run on 8.1 with a bit of tweaking.Bruce [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]I5-2500k@ 4.5Ghz/ 16 GB Gskill DDR3 1600/Nvidia GTX460 1GB// CH Yoke/Pedals/Throttle/TrackIR/Win7/ Fsx Deluxe SP1 & SP2 "Don't let fear or good judgment hold you back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
