Bailey14 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi, I wonder if somebody could give me some advice. I am looking to upgrade either my CPU or my GPU this holiday for mainly fsx but also X-plane but I am not to sure which one I should go for. What do you think? I will put my current PC specs below. Intel Pentium @ about 3ghz Nvidia Geforce 210 2gb ram ( I will definitely upgrade my ram) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBKHOU Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'd go with a new MB/CPU/RAM first. I don't know anything about your present GPU. If it's weak, you could probably run the onboard graphics on the new MB until you get a new video card. For FSX, the CPU is the most important part.

kingsleytailors Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 internal GPU cant play hd or heavy game, if you have heavy system like quad core or 3 so you can buy external GPU for gaming Buy Online Casio G Shock Watches Occupational Therapy Record Maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 FSX is mostly CPU/RAM/MB dependant, with the GPU comming in second. If you have a good, fast, strong CPU and RAM, like a quad-core or better @ 3GHz, then you could probably upgrade you GPU. But you won't see a HUGE difference with a new GPU.
