Josala Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Hi, My name is Josala, I live in Barcelona, Catalonia. I am a FSX user and I want to buy MFS2024, but I need to know if my hardware is enough to make it work well, since the processor is a bit old: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU 3.40 GHz - Ram: 16Gb - Graphics: RX590 Fatboy 8G Thanks in advance Josala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagorandy Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 As far as I know, no specific hardware requirements have been published for this planned new sim that is to be released for sale in 2024? But yes indeed many of us are waiting for that info.

loki Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 As noted above, we don't know what the system requirements are for MSFS 2024 yet and, even more importantly, how the sim runs on those specs. On the other hand, I doubt the requirements are going to be lower than those for MSFS 2020, so you could start there for an idea. Looking at the specs you posted, your CPU is at the lower end. https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013463459-Minimum-Recommended-and-Ideal-PC-requirements-for-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josala Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 Thank you very much for the comment. Everything seems to indicate that my CPU will not be enough. I will have to start saving to buy a more powerful equipment. Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberdog1 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 your CPU should be fine, more memory and a better Graphics card. Like what was said befor we are waitting on MS to put out the specs for 2024... AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroNoodle Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Yeah I can't wait to see how it all pans out - I just bought a new computer to be able to play 2020 - and it runs it decently well. Hopefully it will do good with 2024 too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenhunter Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Graphics card may need some love. But who knows.. I can’t see it being too much of a jump from 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also ran an i7-3770 witha GTX1660 for a while. My rolution was 1080p Ultrawide (about 30% more taxing than regular 1080p). My settings were a mix of med-high with an occasional Ultra setting. I found complex aircraft and high-traffic areas (such as big airports, NYC, London, etc), dragged performance down to the low 20 FPS. Otherwise, during landing and takeoff I was usually limited by the CPU, and during cruise by the GPU. Since landing and takeoff is where you need smoother framepacing the most, I would focus on upgrading the CPU first. Edit: I would also say, try the FS2020 with the gamepass trial for $1 (don't know how much that is in your local currency). If you're satisifed with the performance of the sim, there's a good chance that you'll be ok with FS2024.

Elvensmith Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Bit of a bump but just wondering now MS have announced the end of support for Win 10 next year, if this likely means FS2024 will be Win 11 only. Going to leave a lot of people in the boat of needing a new PC as neither my desktop or laptop pass the Win 11 compatibility test so a new rig will be required to run this regardless, if that's the case.

chicagorandy Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Necessary hardware for MSFS 2024 remains an unknown. I would presume the new software will seek to take advantage of the most recent operating systems and drivers? My current desktop upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11 without issue when 11 was introduced 3 years ago, with Win 12 planned for this year if memory serves. I can't recall all the times I've had to upgrade to a new PC over the 40+ years I've been gaming but reckon it will happen again sooner rather than later-lol "Don't believe everything you see on the internet." - Abe Lincoln HP Pavilion Desktop i5-8400@2.8ghz, 16gb RAM, 1TB M.2 SSD, GTX1650 4GB, 300 MBPS internet, 31.5" curved monitor, Logitech yoke-throttle, Flt Vel trim wheel, TFRP rudder pedals, G/M IR headset, Extreme 3D Pro joystick, Wheel Stand Pro S Dlx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetd31 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Im gonna guess its gonna be the same as 2020 seeing as it will be supported by series x and series s but idk, gonna have to finance a computer if it is going to be possible for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted Thursday at 11:55 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:55 AM The latest blurb with release date seems to indicate Win 10 still supported but TBH with the O/S now officially on Death Row with DOE October (?) next year, those of us with hardware that can't be updated to Win 11 are now having to start talking nicely to our spouses regarding £1200 or thereabouts out of the savings for a new box. I don't want to be doing online banking and other e-commerce on a PC not getting security updates. 1 Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted Thursday at 12:48 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:48 PM Vern, last January I bought a pre-built Windows 11 gaming PC for the first time because it was cheaper than buying the parts separately at that time. I've upgraded the original NVME SSD from 1TB to 2TB since, but that's all - I should have done it YEARS ago! Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Elvensmith Posted Thursday at 03:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:13 PM I used to go down the upgrade road Tim, but got burned on the last attempt by a faulty motherboard which the supplier claimed I had damaged and refused the RMA. Besides my current PC is an absolute potato and can’t be upgraded any more. About the only things I could salvage are the mechanical HD’s, the case and the DVD drive. So better to look at new builds. PC Specialist used to be the go to place for a custom build but have gone really expensive, probably because they are now allied with Curry’s. Overclockers UK and Scan are the other two companies I might take a look at. OCUK have a “Graphite” PC for £1200 but is only 16Gb of RAM, 1 x 1Tb SSD and no DVD drive which I still need for older games and ripping CD’s to my MP3 player. Vern.

tiger1962 Posted Thursday at 03:50 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:50 PM I got mine from ADMI on Amazon UK, you'd have to transplant your DVDRW because they're supplied without optical drives these days.
