FSX on cheap gaming computer

[aminuk23]

700 us dollar not that cheap dude, your video failed, make 100 dollar pc and run that shit on it and then i might give you a thumbs up.

[GidazEFC98]

really, seems to be running fine and when you say cheap, how much u talking about?

and another question would i be able to run fsx on this: DELL OPTIPLEX 745 Desktop PC, Intel Pentium D 945 INTEL DUAL CORE 3.4Ghz CPU with 4Mb Cache, 2Gb DDR2 RAM , DVD-ROM, 80Gb SATA Hard Drive, AC97 Sound, Windows XP Professional Installed & COA License Sticker

[Turner9090]

Now I have a normal desktop comp. the was built in 2006 and I can run fs 2002 on full settings so you would figure if you

Bought a gaming computer in 2012 that it would be able to handle fsx are computers that far behind or did fs over shoot that much

[DrunkShop]

@allysonand

Ahah i got a gaming pc back in the days, with my 1 GB of RAM, and my 120 GB Hard Drive, CPU @ 420 Mhz.... I was the only one in my town with such a beast PC xD Now i'm stuck with an i3 which is still good :)

[kuccarina965]

is this gpu good enough to play fsx nice il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover rise of flight black ops mw3 and new modern games because i want a graphics card for under 100euro can plssss anyone help me

[SuperPalf]

hey im thinking of buying a cheap gaming computer with these specs + which graphics card should i use? please tell me what you think:

Intel Core i3 2100, Dual Core (1155, 3.10GHz, 3MB Cache) Processor

Asus P8H61-M X, 2xDIMM, Max. 16GB M-ATX Motherboard

Choice of ATI HD6770 1GB OR nVidia GTS 450 1GB PCI Express Graphics Card PCI Express Graphics Card

4GB (2 x 2GB) Mushkin PC10600 1333MHz DDR3 Ram

00GB SATA II Hard Drive 2 Front + 4 Back USB 2.0 Ports

7 Home Premium

Standard 650W PSU

[base5ballsspilot]

@SuperPalf what is the name of the computer or how much will it cost?

[MCAS9077]

Well the think keeping it running like that is the CPU.

[razordude500]

how would an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T at 3.20GHz (I may over clock it later on a bit), 1GB Nvidia Geforce GTX560T and 8GB DDR3 RAM do? would this get the same sort of results on max settings?

[Grindacore]

what temperature are you getting with that cooler?

[allysonand]

I can run FSX on my gaming computer that cost $1000 to build. The thing is that this gaming computer of mine is 8 years old, here are the specs.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 @ 2.00 GHz

Mermory: 1 GB DDR @ 400 MHz

Graphics card: ATi Radeon X800 GTO; GPU @ 400 MHz, RAM 256 MB DDR2 and a 256 bit memory interface

[razordude500]

@allysonand When you said GPU @ 400 MHz all I saw was the 400 and I thought you said CPU @ 400 GHz lol

[mawadhassib]

really nice video, what graphics application did u use to make the group look better

[udidwht]

@mome199812

FSX is a CPu bound game uppin the VGA card has less of an effect as opposed to a CPU upgrade. It's also beneficial for FSX to be installed on a system in IDE mode and on a separate physical HDD as well. I just built an i5 2500K, Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, 8GB RAM G-Skill, XFX HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 256bit, 1TB Seagate SATA3, 1TB Hitachi SATA2, LG Blue Ray writer, Antec 650w PSU, Rosewill Challenger case all for $816.00. Purchased DIY thru Newegg.

[paull123]

Is he using Windows 7 ? would this work the same with windows XP ?

[SuperDubstepUk]

HEY get a Alienware mx500 or something called that laptop trust me ;)

[Gamingdesktopsx]

Looks very good. Realistic. Don't mind the haters. 700 is a good deal.

[yungjay112]

lol it takes up alot of gigs.. but its all worth

[flightsimmerpro90]

He wrote cheap so ppl would be positive in the comments

[cba999casey]

these i series of intel , if they are overclocked and run cool enough , its a blast for fsx.

but stil , they had to go further with less cores and higher cpu clocks and l1 and l2 cashe. one core is only 12.5 percent of the total power it has.

[Cobrastarzz1]

THis is amazing bro........im gonna purchase thise SIM today, and was wondering iff u cud give me some advice :) i wanna kw if my PC will be able too handle it, and wat upgrades i shud do to my Pc if u think it wont run it properely, here are my specs : AMD Athlon X@ 64bit.............2.8 Ghz 3 Gb DR2 Markvision RAM 1 Gb Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT

[NateN34]

@Cobrastarzz1 Upgrade CPU first, then the graphics card.

[Cobrastarzz1]

@NateN34 I was wondering if i cudd avoif upgrading the CPU and just upgrade other things instead, but the graphics card iss really good though.....................and i got the game by now and have been playing it andd im getting great performance...................­but i wonder if upgrading to like 6 Gb's off RAM wud make a big diff :)???

[Cobrastarzz1]

Btw i have another problem.......................­....everytime i go into free flight the game thinks it's the transition to Jets tutorial mission :(( andd i always keep hearing the instructorr sayingg im pushing too hard on the stick n' stuff ://............. and iff i click ESC.... the mission screen for the jet transition mission keeps commming up :((.................HELP!!!!!!­!!!!!

[MauerTwins7]

whats the name and whered you get it?

[kanneebannee]

no, u filmed this in real world, joking, im impressed!

[InODependanceSyndrom]

i hava fsx running with

i3 (3ghz) non overclocked.

2gigabyte DDR2

Ati HD4850.

7200rpm hdd

Everything max apart from the texture/meshes resolution AA and light bloom off.

30fps in the most urban areas with max texture setting + REX

[Basvanderpol]

@InODependanceSyndrom

I've got exactly the same system as you, also a ATI HD4850, and 2gb DDR2.. Only different is that I have a dual core 2.6 ghz :(

[yanksrokmysox08]

Can you somehow show me the settings you used in the BIOS for this overclock?

[FS98FSX]

it doesnt really matter what computer you have just have good specs

[misterpspdude]

hey u guys you should get the acer aspire 3830 it has an i5 4gb a ram and an nvidea gt540 fpr 700dollars

[BDHH100]

where can i look for my full computer specs? WINDOWS 7

[southwest1998]

i got an i5 and it was only $800

[iDonof]

@MrWindTa yes it is, for a computer that can run fsx decently...

[MatthewAlfrey]

I have a i7 core, Gtx 590, 64GB DDR3, 5tb hd. Can I run pacman?

[Krutzo11]

@MatthewAlfrey Its funny how max RAM of a computer is 24 gb and you have 64.... only Chuck Norris can have that many

[nonchalant4ever]

@MatthewAlfrey I don't think so but I think you can run pong.

[janbminden]

@MatthewAlfrey No, sorry. You have no display installed.

[GidazEFC98]

@MatthewAlfrey no, to powerful..

[WorthWatchingVv]

@MrWindTa for a gaming pc? $700 for a gaming pc this good is like buying a Ferrari for $100. I'm working on a very good build with a $700-$850 budget.

[blackopszombieraper9]

where can i get a good gaming computer

[Flightkid9]

@blackopszombieraper9 build your own, it's much cheaper and you can make it so it's more conformed to what you want to do with it instead of just paying for expensive parts that you may not need for whatever you're doing. (like if it had a 6970 GPU when you only used it for fsx than it would be pointless to spend the extra money on the card and you could save a lot of money by buying one that's a little less powerful)

[goldenblade212]

LMFAO COMBATSPAWN!!!! FAILLLL shoudl cost around only 1300-1500 bucks loser

[minglianz]

@goldenblade212 lol he is showing off. it costs more than 1.5k though..

[united7866]

i wouldnt call u a show off rather a master at this, iv read dozens and dozens of forums doing all kinds a tweaks, but can get nothing lik u have with i7 860 gtx260 and 8 gig ddr3 ram. any input would be appreciated. thanks

[Ilivemindfreak]

How'd you get your I5-650 to Overclock at 4,4 GHz?

[iAirsoft69]

i can do that with my laptop that cost $200

[epicflyboy97]

approach angle = too low, reverse thrusters were engaged too early. Other than that its ok.

[steam308]

:O im number 8.000 viewer wooot

[Combatspawn]

my specs:

Motherboard: Asus p8p67

costs arround 2300 bucks

[risla001]

@Combatspawn

No one cares you big show off... :)

[HotChilliSquirrel]

@Combatspawn Who gives a shit...

[TheWisey1234]

how much is this computer

[MrSpongebob000]

@noobpilot1 I get that sort of crash sometimes, it could be because your pc is doing too much at once. Close down other programs and try to use the 2d cockpit as much as you can. Try not to move the mouse too fast . Hope this helps! Happy flying! =D

[HKS134]

nice lag

[noobpilot1]

Who can help me?!

Sometimes my fsx crashes

I have not a real good pc ( Vista )

Sometimes its shutting down and it is called ''APPCRASH''

Can anyone help me??

[darkgaiasonic]

can this run it

G.SKILL 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor 2.9GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core

Nvidia 8200 Onboard Igp

30gb of memory...

[haydensupra]

@darkgaiasonic in my experience i would say this is going to be terrible 1gb ramis not enough for this game it need a minimum of 2 to run at a respectable speed the processor isnt bad 1mb cache is not very good tho and an onboard graphics card is going to be no good in the fps department as it just wont cope with the graphics you are asking it to load and 30gb of memory means after fsx 15gb or round about that means you will have 10gb left as windows need 5gb free or it wont boot up

[darkgaiasonic]

srry im getting 2 gigs lol

no diffrence thought

[The1FlyingHigh]

"My purpose/challenge, was to take mainstream

components and build a computer that anyone could use

to enjoy FSX"

Watrcooling? Mainstream?

[japsrkawaii]

@The1FlyingHigh yeah its called the ECO A.L.C. (advanced liquid cooling). Its an all-in-one unit, no hoses to hook up or pumps to install...it installs basically like your cpu fan and heatsink, not much harder than that really. Its the easiest watercooling solution there is.

[Mast3rSkillz]

My system specs

I7 950 running at 4.0ghz

Amd 6870

6gb 1600mhz Kingston hyper x ram

Asus sabertooth x58 motherboard

30gb Kingston SSD and 1TB Kingston HDD

My computer runs FSX at amazing frame rates even with improved graphics mods.

I am also upgrading with a second 6870 and another set of 6gb hyperx ram so I can play Flight on maxed setting when it comes out.

[scotplane]

@Mast3rSkillz ohh, I doubt that Flight will run on max on any computer, remember what happened with FSX? We had to wait years before we could get a system that would run it max with good frames!

[fixierideuk]

@Mast3rSkillz Damn, 4.0ghz? That's amazing! I'm overclocking at 3.0ghz

[hollow088]

i got ati radeon 3000 graphics...dont let youre parents buy you new pc without you choosin it

[vgamedude12]

Could I run this?

Amd phenom x4 965 be, stock clock 3.4ghz

4gigs ddr3 1600 RAM

Ati radeon 5770

[japsrkawaii]

@vgamedude12 Yes you can run FSX with this setup, just don't expect to max everything out.

[BlindShorty11]

im getting that graphic card soon. are those the default scenery or addon?

[japsrkawaii]

@BlindShorty11 I have GEX and UTX installed as well as REX 1

[TheHedgehogPilot]

no water effects, 5 fps increase

well done sony vegas pro

overclocking will ruin your pc in months

chosen scenery, and gt 240, it will die

[japsrkawaii]

@TheHedgehogPilot

I simply used a point and shoot digital camera in HD mode to record FSX playing on my 1920 X 1080 samsung HD TV. No sony vegas pro involved

Its very possible to overclock reliably for the long term. The trick is not to overdo it. the new i5/i7 32 nm cpus have tremendous headroom and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you could run them for years at 4+ ghz with proper cooling...Just my two cents.

[TheHedgehogPilot]

@japsrkawaii Ok, I am sorry. I was misunderstood

[Sirwest299]

@TheHedgehogPilot I've used FSX on highest with gt240 for a long time and no, It has not died.

[RCHelios1]

@harrygoozee 747

[harrygoozee]

@RCHelios1 ok thanks

[harrygoozee]

Is that a380?

[JaredzzC]

@harrygoozee looks like a 747

[harrygoozee]

@JaredzzC oh thanks

[japsrkawaii]

@harrygoozee Its PMDG 747, sorry for omitting that earlier

[japsrkawaii]

@Ijinan14 Sorry there are too many factors involved that could be affecting your performance. I would suggest reading up on all the graphics settings that affect FSX performance...some of them just kill performance and should never be used, like Max.2x water for instance.

[MikefrMd]

I think you did a great job.

Looks very smooth with high framerates.

I also like the scenery...do buildings like the Mall of America come with UTX or GEX or is that another addon?

[mboy3515]

$5000 is not cheap, how about a $600 computer for fsx

[jeffg24LT21]

can anyone tell me how to boost up my ghz i only have 1.6

[CockpitPilot]

@jeffg24LT21 Get a new processor.

[masterjewbag]

Hello, i really liked your video. im thinking about buying this ibuypower pc, do you think i could run fsx with near max settings?

NVIDIA GT210 512MB dedicated: graphics card vram

[cristof1357]

i got a computer for 400$ that is the same as this setup 

[japsrkawaii]

@cristof1357 congrats!

[khairlines]

@cristof1357 which computer is that, the one you bought for 400

[allibowthepilot]

i have intel pentuim dual core 2.5 ghz e5200 and the 4 gig ram and fsx runs so well!

only build my pc for £200

[bigtwit]

@allibowthepilot what resolution do you run at?

[japsrkawaii]

@bigtwit 1920 X 1080

[allibowthepilot]

@allibowthepilot : 1208 x 1024 somthing like that . get over 50 frames in london lol tryed on a HD i get around 25 frames

[japsrkawaii]

@allibowthepilot My video was shot from a 1920 X 1080 HDTV

[rockliffe22]

Well done!

[showcasehockey4]

that was a pretty nice landing keep up the vids

[AirbusA380rox]

dumb angle. looks like the plane's gonna crash

[CoolVideos1996]

look at hat beautiful wing flex

[49sebek]

where did u buy all the parts?

[al199306]

nice video man!

Im looking to build a gaming pc, as my current set up for fsx is rather crap.

im strapped for cash, so a budget pc would be ideal.

how much did the whole thing cost?

And would you say its worth it, good frame rates ect?

Thanks

[TheWargasmic]

Fps please?

[wilfredotour2]

good job, if you had used FRAPS the FPS would have dropped dramatically...

[TKRJ1]

I'd hardly call that a mainstream computer ! :D My PC is a mainstream computer (e8400, hd4850, 4gigs of ram)

[Ilivemindfreak]

Hey I have the Core i5-650 too but it only clock's at 3,332GHz with Intel's boost threading technology. How do I make it faster?

[intercepter1]

@Ilivemindfreak My understanding is that FSX is unable to utilize the Hyperthreading because as Microsoft put it- It was causing to many "collisions" and so they coded it to act as a single core whatever that means. If anyone has gotten Hyperthreading to work in FSX as intended- Please let us know.

[japsrkawaii]

@intercepter1 You're right, further testing on my own has proved this to be the case...Hyperthreading does not help performance

[japsrkawaii]

@intercepter1 This is correct :)

[TheGreatFlyer]

WOW! It looks so reaisticl! I use what, like 10 effects in my editing software to get this and you got it with just a camera! Awesome!

[Lord2194]

which is the cpu temperature in fsx whit coolit eco cooler?

[japsrkawaii]

@Lord2194 temperatures usually around 40 C under load

[poida84]

LOL nice setup i stil have the duo core 2.6ghz runs great at 20-25FPS on high setting check my videos out.. i have no idea how its runing it but it is :) its even 300mhz ram LOL

[MrKooL92]

do you get good fps with added on traffic like woai or my traffic x?

[japsrkawaii]

@MrKooL92 Sorry i don't have those add-ons yet

[madyville]

nice work ...i have 750 stock at 2.6 ...cant overclock it as i own a intel motherboard,

nice graphics

[japsrkawaii]

@madyville Thanks!
