CharleyVarrick 277 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) My main computer is about 3-4 yrs old, a respectable Intel Core i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz, running Win 11. I have a boatload of memory (32Gb), and 2 SSD, one of them a M.2 I do not have a separate video card as I'm not a gamer by any stretch. Recently, I reinstalled MS FlightSim X Deluxe (2006?), and much to my surprise, it is not running smoothly nor reliably. Surprised because with the specs of my present PC, I figure it should barely break a sweat running a 17 year old software. What are your thoughts ?

Spaceboy 2494 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 other than - you need a video card to run this game? its literally in the minimum specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanmaCanada 345 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 You do need a video card sadly as the game needs one. Your iGPU is still pretty weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick 277 Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) That same flight sim sftwr was originally running on a Dell 2004-ish XPS Win7 with a 2004 cpu, mech drives and 4gb memory. But it did have a graphic card, although not a performance one. Looks like I'll have to indulge in a new powerhouse pc, and the more current MSFS 2020, or wait for announced 2024 edition. Thanks guys. Edited August 27, 2023 by CharleyVarrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
