FSX on multiple Monitors and one computer?

[Sw526]

I am brand new to the forum so I'll apologize now for anything irritating; it is not intended to be :)

 

I have FSX and would like to build a simpit with 5 displays, run on one PC, and get acceptable (20+) FPS. I've seen a system on you tube that really looked great, but the people at SimSamurai explicitly state you have to run the config I want in a multi-PC network environment or it will not perform acceptably at all.

 

Now I am a firm believer in the adage "If it sounds too good to be true, ..."), but since I do not have direct knowledge I wanted to put it out to you guys.

 

If one PC will work, what components/specs are required? The you tube guy had the following (But I do not know his FPS):

 

MB: ASUS Maximus 6 Hero (?)

 

CPU: Intel I7-4770K 3.5 GHz

 

Two GPU's: (1) GTX770 w/4 Gig RAM (to drive three displays; (2) GT620 w/2 Gig RAM to drive an instrument panel display and a GPS display.

 

Disks: 120Gig SSD (for FSX only) and 1TB HDD (for everything else)

 

 

Is anyone out there running a multi monitor system on 1 PC and getting 20+FPS, or do I need to wake up and face reality now?

 

Thanks in advance for your info and advice!
