Do you think my computer is good enough to run flight simulator X smoothly?

Question

My PC SPEC

CPU: Pentium4 3Ghz
Motherboard: ASUS P5N-32-E SLI
Graphic card: ASUS EN6800 256MB 256bits
Power:500W
Memory: Elixir 512MB X2=1G

Any suggestion would be appreciated

Answer 1

ofcourse its enough

Answer 2

I have an NVidia 7900 graphics card, ASUS P5B MB, Core Duo 6600, and 4 GB of RAM (to use when I boot 64 bit operating systems), and I have trouble getting FSX to run smoothly.

FSX detects what it thinks should be the settings for playing on your PC. I really wanted to be able to use the higher settings for graphics, but when I do, the plane flies very choppy and is hard to control, and the screen jerks around.

Your system does meet the basic requirements for FSX, though. I have read that the computer that can play FSX with the higher settings has not yet been invented. It is extremely demanding on hardware.

You can download a free demo of the program from Microsoft and test it on your system.

Answer 3

Depending on what else you have running on your computer such as which operating system and security products, you are probably light on RAM (512MB) as that game requires 256MB alone for Windows XP. It should be remembered that other running process require RAM to run. Below is the webpage for Flight Simulator X Minimum system requirements.

If you want to know if your computer can handle more RAM, you can go to Crucial.com and plug in some specs. That site is also listed below.

Finally if you need to see exactly what you have in terms of video cards, etc on your computer, you can go to Belarc and run a scan

Answer 4

It will work fine in this system, I have it and use it on a 64-bit dule core AMD Athlon X24600+, works great, but the game itself is disappointing. Though it is the first flight sim game I have ever played. My problem is that the plane allways does a complete nose dive when it starts, I can play around with settings and get it stable, but when I exit and restart, it does not save. I gave up and went back to fraging.

Answer 5

Your PC spec is fine. We run our flight simulators on 5 Xeon PCs and a Solaris UNIX box. Then again ours have 6 degree of freedom motion systems, 180 degree visuals and every dial, switch, lamp and instrument work as aircraft... and cost abot $12000000 each. FS X is a lot cheaper.
