New Computer

Postby Greg AS#147 » 01 Mar 2020 12:20

After years of buying my first gaming computer to the one I just recently bought, all I can say is WOW. This baby rocks and kicks FSX ass. Since getting involved with FSX, the frame rate eater from hell, I can now say I have it beat. This new computer handles FSX with no problem. All sliders to max and video card graphics are set high. I now go into airports that had a frame rate of maybe 7fps are now at least 15 fps or higher. I am a die hard FSX fan since I have bought so many scenery files and other add ons over the years making it hard to make the jump to FS2020. Now that I have finally gotten my FSX to where it needs to be, I think I will stay there...lol. Below is the basic specs of my new computer. If you are looking for a kick ass gaming computer that you don't need to build, I highly recommend this one. It is a little more on the expensive side, but worth every penny...CHEERS!!!

Wow Greg that's a monster machine! Congrats and yes it will be nice to enjoy FSX until the new FS is out.. :D

Do you still have that really cool cockpit set up? That was just as impressive and I'll bet it really immerses you when flying. :wink:
