Hello everyone,
The time has come that I really need a new computer.
I currently own a laptop with the following specs:
i7 6700HQ @ 2,60 to 3,20 GHz
Geforce GTX 960m 4gb
8 gb DDR4 RAM
I own P3D v4, but just can‘t get it to run smooth. The PMDG 737 gives me 18 FPS combined with Active Sky while the settings are set really low. FSX doesn‘t work well either and is extremely unstable. For this reason I have been stuck with FS2004 for a long while but it‘s limits are really showing, and it‘s becoming more and more difficult to keep a realistic feel to such an old sim.
So I am planning to get a new computer to run P3D v4 with the following addons:
PMDG 737NGX
REX Texture Direct + Soft clouds
ORBX Global Base
Active Sky 2016
Various airport sceneries I might buy in the future
NL2000 v5 (maybe)
I found a computer which might do the job. I couldn‘t find a lot info about others using these specs, but this is it:
CPU: i7 8700 3,4 to 4,6 GHz 6-core (non-K variant)
GPU: Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
RAM: 16 gb DDR4
SSD: yes (256 gb)
HDD: yes (1 tb)
I am not planning on overclocking. Aiming to play at a resolution of 1920x1080. I also don‘t seek to max everything out as I just want a good balance between graphics and performance (although a bit of eye candy is always great, I should add).
Do you think this would be a good rig, or are there better options for around €1000 - €1200?
Thanks in advance,
and have a great day.
