Specs

Hey, are these specs good to run fs9?

Thanks

Processor: intel core i5 2400 @ 3.10ghz

Ram 8gb DDR3

1TB sata hard drive

Graphics card: 2gb Nvidia geforce gt 710

Windows 7

I'm just trying to find something that suits my budget,but at the same time runs well with fs9.

Cheers in advance

Yes the spec's are good you will have no need to worry about frame rates you can max all the sliders out a also have a look at the

Tweaks for FS9 on modern PC's on my website to open and sparkle things up.

Not sure about the gforce gt710. I run FS9 in Windows7 with an Nvidia GeForce GTX960 and that's fine even around dense scenery around airports. You should be able find comparisons of the two somewhere on the web.

But I would suggest a SSD rather than the hard drive, unless you need 1TB of storage for something else. The SSD is faster. My masses of scenery and hundreds of aircraft half fill a 240GB SSD with Windows7 on a different SSD. You might like to consider a SSD for FS9 and a HDD for everything else depending on how much storage you need.

I hope this helps, rather than adding to the confusion!

Hey,I'm back again and I've burnt a hole in my brain searching for a decent pc to run fs9.

I'm sorry to be a pain but would someone advice me if this pc is good enough for fs9.

Kind Regards

Jon

People are yessing to poor systems suggesting FS9 will run great.

They either haven't run FS9 since 2006 or they use very simple add-ons.

If you want to run default FS9 you need one system.

If you want to run the most system intensive add-ons, you need a completely different system.

What add-ons do you intend to run?

I've set up FS9 now on a multitude of different PC's and have a very good idea what each would give you but depends what add-ons you intend to run. The add-ons totally determine what specs you will need.

Thank you so much for your advice,I really appreciate it.

The add-ons I primarily use are:

Various scenery add-on's

World of ai

Active sky

And I think that's pretty much it.

Jon,

The system you have there would be fine for the most part.

You haven't mentioned particular scenery or what types of aircraft.

If you were to run large payware airports and complex payware jets, I would suggest going up a little with the graphics card.

The other system components will hold a minimum 30fps using any add-on FS9 has to offer but on the more system intensive add-ons the card needs to be a little more.
