Hows your X-Plane 10 looking so far? What specs are you running?

AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual core 4600+ 2.40GHz

3.GB Ram Nvidia 7900GS256MB of Vram

4fps LOL! This is with everything turned off!

After some tweaking! Runs along with where my current XP9 copy is running.

Love that 747!

Quick, quick, what are the clouds like?

[Airbus]

lol I cant load the clouds. My computer cant handle them unfortunately. I tired to load up some but frame rates dropped to about 1-2fps.

[Simmo W]

Hehe, good for screenshots then.

So by multicore, they really meant multi! Can I run 3 pc's SLI? :-)

Uh oh. My computer has similar specs to that

What sort of setting did you run XP9 at? Mine were fairly high, and Im a bit worried that XP10 wont work at all.

I have an iMac with a 3ghz i3, 256mb VRAM, and 4 gb of RAM.

Your specs are decent enough, but what will be a problem is your 256mb video card...

And the worst part is that in your iMac's case, you cannot replace the video card. Well you can, but you need to get a technician to do it, and it will cost a lot of money...

The best bet for Apple users who are looking to get a computer in which you can easily replace any hardware, including the video card, would be the Mac Pro. Now of course it is plenty expensive, but in my opinion, the increase in hardware performance and the easy upgradability and repair factor out weighs the cost.

Airbus, I've got similar spec to yours. You mean you've got no trees, no objects, no roads, no cars? Just to get that?

I would wait until the full version comes out and see what fps people get then, compared to what they are getting now. I'll bet it's a lot worse.

But it sounds like we both gotta spend serious money if you want xp10 to run with something other than an empty sky and empty ground area.

Go read the latest X-Plane Dev Blog post. They are still ironing out bugs and optimizing X-Plane 10 for all the drivers. Be patient, frame rates will improve.

What will I have to turn down because of a lack of vram? Currently I run X-Plane 9 at 4x anti aliasing with very high textures, and mid settings in roads and buildings and draw distance and such.

[Simmo W]

I have to use 'high' textures to keep silky smooth. if you reeally need to, compress the vram textures. See our latest blog post on my settings and keep in touch with the dev blog at Xplane
