rvc68 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just curious, would the Alien Area 51 computer be alright to use with FSX or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You might want to list the specs of the Area 51 computer you are looking at. I noticed the $1,699.00 one had an I7 processor at 3.3GHZ. You would get fairly medium results with it if you had payware quality scenery and aircraft. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Ragtopjohnny Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 It depends on the real innards of the system. I have a 3.30ghz 8 core processor and I get 50+ fps in FSX. Of course, trade offs are necessary, I will admit it. I'm not into traffic and all that, so I slide it down. I like road vehicles, so slide those up. Otherwise, everything else full tilt boogy and it's awesome. :) http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/ragtopjohnny/NewSig.jpg http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-greet013.gif Checkout my new Facebook Page! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Airplane-Porn/1505438883035386 HP Z820 Workstation Intel Xeon 3.30ghz 8 Core Processor 2TB Hard Drive 16 gig of Ram 1125 Power Supply and 2 Gig Nvidia Geforce GTX 970.

cfelix Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've always found Alien to be a bit expensive when it comes to "bang for the buck." You might want to take a look at some lesser known (but reputable) shops like CyberPower or iBuyPower and compare prices for similar configurations.

lnuss Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Digital Storm is another to look at (I like mine). Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
