Is my wanted configuration OK ?

Postby FGA380 » Wed May 24, 2017 10:21 pm

Hi, I'd like to buy a new PC (my laptop HD4000 + i7 low voltage 1.9 ghz is strugguling to run it of course with between 10-20 FPS :D ).

So I'd like something like:

- Ryzen 5 1600 (6 cores - 12 threads, 3.2 Ghz, CPU made for multi-threading) or Ryzen 5 1600x (same but 3.6 Ghz)
- GeForce GTX 1050 ti (or GTX 1050)
- 16go ram
- 256 go SSD
- 4K screen

How good will flightgear run ? Can I expect good frame rate with 4k resolution ? Can flightgear be scaled down to HD resolution on a 4k screen ?

Thanx for your help !

Erm... consider picking CPUs based on single core performance. FlightGear doesn't really use multiple cores.
Otherwise, looks great.
There are free alternatives to (almost) every program you encounter. You just have to find them.
