BKL Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I am planning on buying X Plane very soon. I am brand new to flight sim but excited to get started. Can anyone provide insight on the quality of my hardware and if X Plane will run well (meaning smooth, with decent graphics) for the following hardware I currently have. It an Alienware laptop, just purchase three months ago: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 BitProcessor is Intel Core i7-4800 MQ up to 3.7 gHzRAM is 32 GBGraphics Card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M with 3 GB RAMScreen has a 120 refresh rate (not sure if that matters)HD is 800 GB with 100 GB from solid state drive I think it will be good, but I just want to be sure if I need to consider anything else. Thank you,Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcair Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Everything looks good, except for maybe your processor. Is it quad or dual-core? EDIT: Nvm. Quad-Core. Should be good! Edited March 30, 2014 by Orcair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironmaiden Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I use XPX on my Toshiba , though its not all maxed but pretty close. I am trying the performance as a Hack intosh / linux / windows. the best performance I got was from Linux . In linux it loads XPX without any load on the system. with the rendering settings I have I am pulling a good 20-25 fps especially in europe using tonys tool and even in seattle its flyable. but due to the limitation of my GT525m i don't tend use clouds it just kills. But this is not the main system I run XPX but my desktop. What you got there on a laptop is pretty strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarinohanzo Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Yeah....with Alienware, you're paying for the design and not the specifications. Nope... With Alienware you're paying before the hardware specifications (at your choice) and after the design (not so good IMHO) Edited May 8, 2014 by yarinohanzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telamon Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Nope...
