I find it quite useful to see what PC specs people have running their sims as the HW is quite critical in creating a smooth and immersive flying experience. Simmers also often tend to be IT propellerheads to the PC components market and it's development is close to the hearts of many here.. atleast me. Interpreting all that as a pissing and getting winded up enough to come bash it here is beyond me.
But anyway I recommend you close your eyes now as I will paste the setup I ordered a week ago for my new simming rig:
Asus P8P67 Deluxe Intel P67 LGA1155
MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC NVIDIA
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 GHz LGA1155
OCZ RevoDrive PCI Express SSD 120GB SSD
Corsair 8GB (4x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL9
Antec P193 ATX
Noctua NH-D14
Corsair AX850W
Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog
So I'm refreshing more or less everything except my monitor and TIR. I can't wait to get the bits and pieces together, load up the 64bit OS in and give my favourite titles a go while waiting for Cliffs to come out. Especially trying FSX out is something I'm looking forwards as I like GA simming as a sunday hobby. The beautiful scenery add-ons killed the FPS on 1920x resolution with my Q6600 and GTX295 so after reading some positive performance reports of 2600K FSX might be back in the menu for me after a long break. A2A's P47 for FSX is just stunning!
Would be great to establish a 'baseline' FPS recording for Cliffs to have FPS´s reported here in one thread with different rigs and different settings to help ppl out selecting the good combo for their budgets and needs.
Peace, out!
