ade555 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I use to run it on i3 gtx660 with 8gb ram, and could run at sliders sort of medium,with reflection off, water effect low and no casting shadows, not sure what sort of in game quality you after, I would check if your fa18 will work with P3d v4.4 because when I just checked if I have the right website it said only up 4.3, so check that first. Hope it helps. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRJ_simpilot Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If P3D is mostly single threaded, you might want to opt for an Intel CPU as they have vastly better single thread processing capability than an AMD. While AMD would work, if you're looking for more bang for your buck so to speak, get an Intel. I'm not trying to act like a fan boy here or anything. AMD is a good budget CPU, especially in the multicore comparison between AMD and Intel. I'm assuming P3D is still in large part single threaded like FSX is. Albeit Lockheed Martin may have made some improvements. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

harry2112 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Thx CRJ,That's Good like to stick to about grand for CPU and MOBO combo,mainly to run P3D and all the addons that go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Check out the 9600k. This is a 9th generation Intel CPU dubbed Coffee Lake and was released quarter 4 of 2018. You will most likely need a 300 series chipset motherboard. You can only run Windows 10. If you run Windows 7 you won't get updates so you'd need to apply this hacked patch. https://github.com/zeffy/wufuc It does say Kaby Lake. Not sure if it will work with Coffee Lake. Make sure you buy a reputable PSU. Install P3D to the root of C only and install it as Admin. Your path would be C:\P3D. The programs folder is protected and can be a PITA to work with if you install to the default location that the installer wants you to install to. Edited January 6, 2019 by CRJ_simpilot OOM errors?

harry2112 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thx.Windows 10 be ok,Read i need that for better Graphics ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No, you need Win10 to use the cpu fully. The features of modern cpu's need Win10 to make use of them. Using Win7 the features will not be used, as that OS does not know about them. (there's more to it then just missing updates) Also, unlike what was said before, P3D does use multiple cores and even multiple threads if your cpu has them. (hyperthreading).

jorgen.s.andersen Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 P3D also makes more use of your graphics card than FSX does, but exactly how much more varies with what you have on your system. It is still mainly a CPU-oriented application, so the CPU clock rate should be the main factor in selecting a new main board and CPU.

harry2112 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Thanks everyone for all the good info.Back about 17-20 years ago a fellow told me that Intel was more into business type apps,and AMD was into the game and video,me I just know enough to get in trouble, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The debate on Intel vs. AMD is a long one, with fanatical diehards on both sides. All I can tell you is that I have been running FSX, and now also P3D, on Intel processors (first an i3 and now an i7 7700K) with nVidia graphics and have had no issues whatsoever.

harry2112 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Think Ill start with Intel LGA 2066 motherboard,low end cpu up grade later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Think Ill start with Intel LGA 2066 motherboard,low end cpu up grade later. Then forget P3D until later. You need a well-matched system, mobo, CPU, GPU and RAM to run P3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
