@777mirza777 because its CPU based and doesn't make use of the GPU in the same way that say Battlefield 3 would. Its also directx 9 only not 11, was released in 2006. But to be honest the graphics with add-ons are pretty spectacular considering this simulates a World wide area.
@RotationFSX Could you link me to add-ons that give you graphic upgrades?
Also I am confused as I got the pack for my Country Iceland. and it say's it can not find "myprog.exe" and its not in the original install folder of FSX.
So I guess it is NOT loading the icelandic add-on but I can fly around in Iceland non the less with the default FSX version.
@RotationFSX And could you possibly tell me if you are able to record video while playing the game without lagg? As well as is there any way saving the flight like a Replay video in the game and then just push play and the computer does the flight automaticly and you can move cameras around to record it?
@777mirza777 if you use REX2, ENB-SERIES, and many other grapich addons the game will be AMAZING!! yust look here: /watch?v=j77cgtty1K4&feature=related
@Deltapilot96 Yes mate, this will run FSX really well. Remember my video is about a year and a half old now, so your kit will be even better than mine..:)
@Deltapilot96 I have a very similar setup, same cpu, gpu, mobo, psu even. just 8 gigs ram but that shudnt make a difference. fsx will run, and will please you with around 25-30fps with those addons and all sliders full. but i got a 70-80 fps increase just by tweaking my cfg so i highly recommend bojotes tweak. pm me if u want more info!
@Deltapilot96 Grab yourself a 580 if you find it cheap. I found mine for $390, it was usually $480. You probably won't get that price but if you get close, I'd grab it. Go to google and search "Passmark GPU benchmark" to see why. Results ARE somewhat skewed; 590 clearly is a better card, despite not testing higher.
Goes to show what kind of OC you can pull off with the 580 =)
@yerrazo Yeah you'll be ok and get decent performace - however the two main things to really enhance your enjoyment of FSX is to go for an I7 processor and an Nvidia 5 series card (560 or 570 for example)
Enjoy your no no-nonsense approach. Purely accidental after many trials and errors my build is quite similar. Albeit a water-cooled HTPC. The watercooling because of the airflow in these specialized cases. It allows me at 62 to sit in my living room easy chair learn about the fsx add-ons. Love it and great when I can't get out or there is nothing on the TV to tempt. WELL DONE !! I'm at 3.8 with the I7 750 might try to achieve 4.0 although yours was a 920. My graphics a Gigabyte GTX 470soc
@leather10uk Hey thanks for your comment mate. Sounds like you have a decent system for FSX. I made that video about a year and a half ago, but its still relevant today - just the parts are now a lot cheaper..
@xazns0ulx I didn't put this video up for bragging rights. I put it up to help point people in the right direction. You are probably 'maxing out' with default aircraft etc and scenery, but to be honest I'm not bothered either way.
@qour200 The best bang for your buck for fsx would be to replace your 1090t (which i have too, oc'd to 4.2Ghz and fsx still doesnt run very smooth) and get a Intel i7 2600K.
Also get a good 1155 socket motherboard ( a Z68 generation is best).
Your gpu is fine but if you want another boost on top of a cpu upgrade, you can get a Nvidia Gtx 570 or even a gtx 580...
And what speed ram do you have? DDR3, 1600 mhz and up is best.
Hope this helps, if you have any questions get back to me :)
I play fsx maxed with a 4ghz phenom 2 and 8gb ddr2 1066 ram, also an amd 6870. minimum of 26 fps in new york, thats minimum. average is about 35 in same airport.
It'll work, but expect quite a bit of slow down at add-on airports etc. Id imagine you'll be getting around 10-15fps average and then higher when cruising
CPU will eat FSX up, go with a hybrid cooler from Corsair or Antec. Although ATI cards are fantastic for other games, they are not so hot for FSX. Go with Nvidia 5 series 560,570,580 as these are apparently better at shading (fsx has 2006 technology).
Instead of 1GB hardrive, buy two 500gb drives and put FSX and its add-ons on its own drive
I am stuck on what to get for my new pc, I could choose an i7 2600k with a P8Z68-v pro motherboard, or an i7 960 with P6X58D-E, it will go with 8-12gb of any DDR3 RAM GPU: 2x GTX560 ti CPU Cooler: Coolermaster V8 Disc Drive: LG 24x dvd reader and rewriter HDD: 1tb sata-3 hard drive PSU: 850w corsair all in an NZXT Phantom case. So which processor and motherboard shall I get? And how fast will it run?
@ArchonEmpire Go with the 17 2600k setup. If you are building specifically for FSX you wont need SLI GPU as it dont work. Maybe FLIGHT will later though
@RotationFSX i have a 2600k at 4.7 ghz with SLI 570's and if you run addon scenery with big monitors it helps a little but not alot, but the 2600k is killer for FSX.
Guys, this video NEEDS updating, good system but much more is available now. You want an i7-2600K (or i5-2500K), an ASUS P8Z68 mobo, the 8GB RIPJAWS 1600MHx RAM, and any graphics card above a GTX 460, you could prob get away with less. For an insight, my GTX 560Ti runs at no more that 50% with FSX on full settings...you can see why a good CPU is needed! A 650W PSU will do, and a case, and your sorted (obviously HDD and other bits is up to you). You can OC the i7 to 5GHz (VERY fast)!
@j4cko56 You are absolutley correct. I made this video July 2010 so yes the specs will have changed. To be honest though the next time I build a new machine (maybe ivy bridge) will be titled building a PC for FLIGHT or X-PLANE 10.
Thanks for your comments though, the spec you suggest would be a great FSX rig
@RotationFSX The spec there is what i have, it runs it great, i cant wait for FLIGHT as well, i may even give X-Plane a go, but it doesn't have the eye candy FSX does, which i mainly focus on. Guys also LAPTOPS ARE A NO NO! I have had baaaaad times with laptops, they are way to expensive and don't run it well, built a computer for half the cost and it will be better lol. Shame Ivy bridge came out, i only made this one a month ago, but the cost of the Ivy bridge right now..no thanks!
@Eddo1998 It doesnt matter if you overclock it to 4ghz - Also the awsome Grpahics card may not be so awsome if its ATI (causes slowdown and some glitches in FSX - other games they are great)
I dunno.. If you want to run FSX + REX 2.0, this is the setup for you.. but im running FSX on Ultra (minus anti alis, and medium traffic) on a basic Compaq Presario Laptop... With only a Duel Core Athon P340 @ 2.2GHz per core, alongside a ATi 4250 HD Radeon mobility with 256Ded, 1.4GB shared hyper mem @ 533herts (shared off the 4Gb ddr3 Ram). Price of the laptop is $400CAD (700 after taxes and warrenty - 3yrs). My current frame rate is about 25-27.. for me, its good enough. im happy with it
@weckwerth123456 Yes, but i would recommend RIPJAWS 8GB RAM @1600MHz, very cheap on amazon, very very good! The 2600K will also overclock its self to 3.8GHz, and you can get it to 5GHz with a good cooler!
Nice video, just what i was looking for. But seeing how rapidly things evolve in the computer hardware industry i would like to see an updated video if you could make one. Thanks!
Cool, thanks for the instant response! Yes, i am browsing the components for my new Gaming rig as we speak. Seems i should be looking to get a 1155 socket processor and a 570 or maybe even a 580GTX. What would you recommend to run the FSX on max settings? Being a long time ATi guy (and not a fan actually) i would definitelly switch from ATi to nVidia. Also i would get an SSD or maybe a pair and put them in RAID, and use standard HDDs for storage.
2 SSD's are probably a bit overkill to be honest. Id save your money and pump it into the 580.
Dont be under any illusions of running everything on max and having it 100% smooth. Will not happen.
Knock the sliders back a little on the autogen and you will be slick as anything and you wont even notice its not max. Everything else can be max apart from traffic&bloom
@RotationFSX You are probably right. I am not in rush, but this will actually be a huge upgrade for me, as i'm still running a 6 year old WinXP Pro PC with a Pentium D, 2 gigs of RAM and a 512Mb 3850HD. Not a lot you can see in FSX running this old pile of junk. Serves me well for the web design/development stuff tho. And what about this Ivy Bridge buzz, i'm thinking maybe i should hold it a bit for the the new Tri-gate processors to come out next year..new socket, new motherboards, new stuff..
Great video mate, really much needed for folks out there to get the most out of FSX :) Oh, and a genuine compliment to your cable management also...its amazing how few people spend just a bit of time to clean up the case. Nice work, 5 stars.
@jlebesis Thanks Jlebesis. I hope its useful for you, but remeber this build is a year old now. You should be looking at the Sandy bridge I7s and maybe an Nvidia 570..
@RotationFSX My pleasure...and yes, I'm already on to it, just built my i7 2600k, with ud7 mobo on it :) Used the superclocked 480 which is still going strong and clocked the whole thing to 5ghz. With an SSD its amazing the performance you can get. All the best!
@diogomarq13 I would get a proper card in via delivery from the internet mate. Those cards are a bit naff to be honest. You need something with at least 1GB ram on it to be on the safe side.
@RotationFSX Hi , I've searched and I found an interesting graphic card : INNO 3D GEFORCE GTX 550 TI HERCULEZ - 1 GB GDDR5 - PCI-EXPRESS 2.0 (C550-1DDN-D5GWX) , maybe I'll buy this one. Do you think it's a good choise ?
@RotationFSX Is this graphic card so bad?.... cause the shop doens't have many options... just this and : nVIDIA QUADRO NVS 295 PCI-E X16 Dual Monitor 256MB
will this work: AMD Phenom ii x4 850 3,3 ghz, 500 gb 16mb 7200rpm, GTS 250 or GTX 550 Ti, 4gb ddr3 1600 mhz corsair vegeance, LC Power 550 watt and I dont know which motherboard should I get?
where u said ddr2 is a no, i have the amdx4 980 3.7 ghz overclocked to 4.7ghz, 4gb ddr2 800mhz ati 5570 650 sata hardrvive 10000 rpm blue ray/dvd rome, full tower case , i run this game on max settings exept for traffic at 60% and i get 90-120 fps, set my frames to limited to 120 cause thats how many frames the human eye sees
@sladewehner1 In fact, why in an earlier message just before this that you deleted ask me how well I thought your system would run? When all it seems you want to do is try and test me or brag..
Will This Work? Computer Specs: eMachines W3050, AMD Athalon XP 2.33 GHz, 2GB Of Ram, ATI Radeon HD 4670 1GB, Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit, 80GB Hard drive, (Sad Yes. Getting A New One Soon, Yes.) Direct X 11, And Nvidia Nforce Audio.
@superfart999 mmm it will run FSX, but dont expect fluid frames. Your Clock rate need to be OC'd to around 4ghz. Ati cards are not FSX friendly either and cause stuttering, you could do with 4GB memory. So erm nope.. sorry
@shamrock608 you do know thats probably without any add-ons correct? with add-ons you would probably get 20-35 and that is very good if the addons happen to be REX frap and any other type of payware sceneries.
My system is AMD Athlon II X4 2,8 Gb, 2x ATI Radeon HD 5770, 700W power, 8 GB RAM, the OS being Win7 64 bit. I still have twitches while having the graphics turned all the way up, I wonder why... I'm planning to update my processor tothe AMD Phenom X6 Black edition (the top model) Do you think yhat would help it run smoother? I'd be very glad for your answer. Thank You
Beautiful video and nice build. You have done well! Its refreshing to hear someone, as I saw in a previous reply, who understands the FSX and the add-ons are very CPU intensive. I've seen guys spend hundreds on graphics cards and wonder why they still dont get great frames. I overclocked my cpu, and it worked like magic. Keep up the great work!
Is this good enough for high frames with CS/PMDG add-ons? Intel Double Core 650 i5 @ 3,20GHz DDR3 RAM @ 6GB HDD: 1TB @ 7200rpm nVidia Geforce GT420 @ 2GB Windows 7 HP - 64bit Or should I aim for: Intel Quad Core i7 2600 @ 3,40 GHz 8 GB RAM @ DDR3 HDD: 1TB @ 7200rpm nVidia Geforce GT420 @ 2GB Windows 7 HP 64-bit The i7 quad core computer costs about 240 pounds extra, is it worth the money? Please answer, thx :) Awesome vid btw
@Deltapilot96 - you'll be ok with the I5, but seriously if you can afford the I7 the please do it. Especially if you are going to be using CPU intensive add ons like the PMDG stuff. If you want to cut costs then you can go for 4GB of Ram as FSX doesnt use anything above that as far as I'm aware.
This looks really interesting...I'd like to try and build my own pc for flight sim. I have only ever used FS9 because of hardware limitations, but this is the way to go. Have you ever tried to run FS9 on your computer and if so how was it? Thanks!
@Mr99Padda - If you want the best performance and to be not sat in front of FSX wondering what if you had gone for the I7, then hold out, get some more money together and get the I7 Processor and Nvidia gaphics card for FSX. AMD will be ok, but not in the same league as I7
@RotationFSX sry buddy but i run fsx on an amd x6 and an intel i7 980X and the framerate just depends on the graphic card then and amd gets wiht crossfire more frames the the i7 with 2 nvidia 480's ;), the i7 just beats the AMD in fsx when you wanna use some programs while you play fsx , like skype.... then the AMD looses fatser power
@747LufthansaPilot - sorry Buddy but I think you'll find that the majority of the FSX commuity who know what they are on about would go for the intel any day over an AMD. Plus ATI cards..in crossfire!! what that all about.
Also how many people are going to be running two 480's!! I think you have mis judged what I made this video for..A cost effective benchmark PC for using FSX, not a 'money no object' super computer like what you're on about..
Hi again Ehh i have seen that a amd processor Sony fit in that motherboard but can you tell me if an amd phenom ii x6 processor is good and if an asus m4a89td motherboard would work instead cuz i want an amd if it is good cuz i want it to be a
Hi mate can you please tell whats the best. An intel core i7 920 or an amd phenom II x6 for fsx i would go for the intel but then i saw that the amd was cheaper but i want the best one for fsx wich one would you prefer ?
@skatedog05 If you dont care about graphics and just frame rates... play fs9... fsx is basically designed for eye candy, you will get the framemates you want with half decent graphics with fs9
does a ASUS Nvidia 460 work instead of ASUS Nvidia 470 cuz i cant find it anywhere i cant find the extender anywhere eigther please tell me somewhere to buy it i live in sweden so there's not many storese for that thing
@Mr99Padda - Hi, yeah the 460 would cut it (make sure its 1gb or over Ram) However the Nvidia 500 series is out now and I'd go for one of those if you can find them. The GPU comes second, make sure you get that I7 for proper FSX performance first
@RotationFSX thanks but i can't find the ram eighter but would this one work: PDP PATRIOT Extreme Performance Low Latency Kit Viper II Series Sector 7-6 GB: 3 x 2 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 6 GB: 3 x 2 GB Industry Standard DDR3 SDRAM DIMM 240-pin 1600 MHz (PC3-12800) Non-ECC CL8 (8-8-8-24) Aluminum heat spreader, Intel Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP), unbuffered 1.65 V
@RotationFSX im running an i7 at 4.01GHz and have a EVGA GTX 570 SC, can completly max out FSX on all settings with a 1920 x 1200 28" monitor, with very playable fram rates arround 40fps on the ground and up to 55fps in air never drops below 35 al all. :)
Great Video! Can you tell me if this would work (FSX on ultra high + REX) : 2.8ghz Core i5, 4GB Ram, GTX260 or ATi5770. I'm on a really tight budget =(.
That PC spec will yield decent results, although I wouldnt run it maxed out (I dont even do that with mine) Plus maybe change the gtx260 for a 460 card..
hello, great vid really helpful. I'm considering making this rig with a few minor adjustments e.g. maybe an SSD, which popped the question were did you purchase the hardware?
@Lewy1997 - Make sure you overclock the CPU to 4ghz too as this makes a big difference. Follow my guide once you have FSX up and running with all your add-ons etc.
@hongkong57 well then drop 1 in and have some fun ati radeon 5970 is my favorite pcie graphics card!! (wish I had enough money to get 1 will prob be gettin a 5870) just remember that fsx demands high CPU performance overclocking is a good idea
@blowupuate13 - FSX doesnt like ATI cards, Nvidia is 'currently' the prefered card due to shading issue in the clouds etc with ATI (slowdown). this might not be the case with the new range coming out, but if you want the best for FSX go Nivdia 470/480.
@hongkong57 you can put any almost any graphics card as long as 1 your power supply has enough watts available to power the graphics card 2 your motherboard has the required slot available in this case the ati 5970 has pci and 3 it can fit in your case if all of these requirements are met HAVE FUN
how much did it cost yo to build? :)

I have nearly the same specs as you. I've just got a better GPU and a larger HDD.
You will need to do A LOT of tweaking to get it right. Even then, it will run sluggish. Especially with quality addons such as PMDG.
You'd pull about 20FPS in the cockpit of a NGX and around 50 on the outside (default scenery).
GL/HF. If you need help tweaking just ask me :3

@TheMrTechboys Seems like an OK laptop, but really Laptops aren't great for FSX,
You'll be able to play it of course, but just not at the kind of slick rates that you can see on here

Guys, this video NEEDS updating, good system but much more is available now. You want an i7-2600K (or i5-2500K), an ASUS P8Z68 mobo, the 8GB RIPJAWS 1600MHx RAM, and any graphics card above a GTX 460, you could prob get away with less. For an insight, my GTX 560Ti runs at no more that 50% with FSX on full settings...you can see why a good CPU is needed! A 650W PSU will do, and a case, and your sorted (obviously HDD and other bits is up to you). You can OC the i7 to 5GHz (VERY fast)!
j4cko56 2 months ago
@j4cko56 You are absolutley correct. I made this video July 2010 so yes the specs will have changed. To be honest though the next time I build a new machine (maybe ivy bridge) will be titled building a PC for FLIGHT or X-PLANE 10.
Thanks for your comments though, the spec you suggest would be a great FSX rig
RotationFSX 2 months ago
@RotationFSX The spec there is what i have, it runs it great, i cant wait for FLIGHT as well, i may even give X-Plane a go, but it doesn't have the eye candy FSX does, which i mainly focus on. Guys also LAPTOPS ARE A NO NO! I have had baaaaad times with laptops, they are way to expensive and don't run it well, built a computer for half the cost and it will be better lol. Shame Ivy bridge came out, i only made this one a month ago, but the cost of the Ivy bridge right now..no thanks!

@RotationFSX
Cool, thanks for the instant response! Yes, i am browsing the components for my new Gaming rig as we speak. Seems i should be looking to get a 1155 socket processor and a 570 or maybe even a 580GTX. What would you recommend to run the FSX on max settings? Being a long time ATi guy (and not a fan actually) i would definitelly switch from ATi to nVidia. Also i would get an SSD or maybe a pair and put them in RAID, and use standard HDDs for storage.
aerozg 6 months ago
2 SSD's are probably a bit overkill to be honest. Id save your money and pump it into the 580.
Dont be under any illusions of running everything on max and having it 100% smooth. Will not happen.
Knock the sliders back a little on the autogen and you will be slick as anything and you wont even notice its not max. Everything else can be max apart from traffic&bloom
RotationFSX 6 months ago
@RotationFSX You are probably right. I am not in rush, but this will actually be a huge upgrade for me, as i'm still running a 6 year old WinXP Pro PC with a Pentium D, 2 gigs of RAM and a 512Mb 3850HD. Not a lot you can see in FSX running this old pile of junk. Serves me well for the web design/development stuff tho. And what about this Ivy Bridge buzz, i'm thinking maybe i should hold it a bit for the the new Tri-gate processors to come out next year..new socket, new motherboards, new stuff..

@Mr99Padda - If you want the best performance and to be not sat in front of FSX wondering what if you had gone for the I7, then hold out, get some more money together and get the I7 Processor and Nvidia gaphics card for FSX. AMD will be ok, but not in the same league as I7

@RotationFSX sry buddy but i run fsx on an amd x6 and an intel i7 980X and the framerate just depends on the graphic card then and amd gets wiht crossfire more frames the the i7 with 2 nvidia 480's ;), the i7 just beats the AMD in fsx when you wanna use some programs while you play fsx , like skype.... then the AMD looses fatser power

blowupuate13 1 year ago
@blowupuate13 - FSX doesnt like ATI cards, Nvidia is 'currently' the prefered card due to shading issue in the clouds etc with ATI (slowdown). this might not be the case with the new range coming out, but if you want the best for FSX go Nivdia 470/480.
ATI are best suited for other games.

@hongkong57 you can put any almost any graphics card as long as 1 your power supply has enough watts available to power the graphics card 2 your motherboard has the required slot available in this case the ati 5970 has pci and 3 it can fit in your case if all of these requirements are met HAVE FUN
