burnssimon Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi there, first post so please be gentle! I'm going to be purchasing MSFS 2020 and will need to upgrade my video card. I currently have a i5 10500 with 16Gb of RAM and plenty of hard drive space. The PC is connected to a 46" 4K TV. Whilst I am only looking for modest graphics (low quality / 1080p) initially, I'm wondering whether purchasing something like GeForce GTX 1660 Super would be fit for the job whilst not being bottle necked by the CPU. Any advice would be much appreciated. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger1962 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 You could buy a reasonable used car for the price of a new GPU at the moment - if you could even find a new GPU for sale. The advice all over the internet at the moment is to go for a complete pre-built system at the spec you require, but even then there could be delays. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."
