Will this run p3d smoothly?

Hey,

 

Check out this list of specs and let me know if it'll run p3d smoothly - Thanks guys! :)

It's a good computer. I'm not too sure about P3D's capabilities, but I know most Sims these days are only single threaded which means you can't crank the settings all the way up unless you want to lose some frames. I'm not too sure if P3D is multi-threaded or not. I thought it was, but since it's based off of FSX or whatever that "commercial" variant was called, I have my doubts.

 

Edit- M$ ESP was the name of the commercial Sim. Same crap, different pile.

Both P3D and FSX are multi-threaded, and more importantly can shed some load onto multiple cores. They don't balance all that well (1 core is heavily loaded and the bottleneck) but that doesn't mean they're not multi-threaded.

 

Cheers!

If you're going to run P3D V4 with any addons such as ORBX or PMDG, you may want to invest in more RAM..An additional 8GB to get you to 16GB should not be too hard on the wallet. Also, a 4GB video card may be a bit limiting but not too bad.

Well, I know FSX is mostly single threaded. If it truly utilized all the cores we could crank the settings to max without issue. Especially in this day and age.

Much, but not all, of this is due to the workload itself, not the code. There are very, very few embarrassingly parallelizable workloads in computer science.
