Joshua John 1063610 Posted November 13, 2010 at 10:55 PM Posted November 13, 2010 at 10:55 PM Hey guys just wondering if these specs would be good enough to run FSX on high settings and if not what settings would you say?

Wycliffe Barrett Posted November 23, 2010 at 03:13 PM Posted November 23, 2010 at 03:13 PM The problem with that spec is the graphic card just a tad underpowered. Wycliffe p.s. just followed the link, it's a laptop. GFx cards in laptops are notoriuosly underpowered and are extremely difficult to upgrade to anything better, in this case size does matter.

Joshua John 1063610 Posted November 25, 2010 at 12:31 PM Author Posted November 25, 2010 at 12:31 PM Thanks both, just have to see and if its not good enough back to FS9 Joshua John Web Services Director Virgin Atlantic Virtual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Whitford 995253 Posted November 25, 2010 at 10:54 PM Posted November 25, 2010 at 10:54 PM This is a laptop correct? Then no, it really has no room to breathe and you also have to consider that your are buying from Sony which like other companies, load it up with useless software that bottleneck the system. FS9 will be best but barely. Go desktop or build your own for a hell of alot cheaper.

Intel Core i5 @ 2.27 6GB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 Graphics 512MB http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-e-series/vpcec2s0e-wi It's a lot more than what I had for years. It ran FSX quite well. If you have problems with FSX, I'd be glad to help. But I can't imagine you having problems with those specs. I'd definitely go with FSX if I were you. It's been years since I've worked with a brand new Laptop. So, again none of the older Laptops had anywhere near the specs of yours and they all ran FSX without any problems. I might purchase a new Laptop today if Walmart doesn't run out of them by the time I make it to the store on Black Friday. I won't fight the crowd, but I'll visit later to see what they have left. FSX will be one of the first things I'll put on the Laptop if I get one. I can't imagine having problems with any recent models since it always did so well on the older models. -- L. James -- L. D.

Joshua John 1063610 Posted December 4, 2010 at 01:51 PM Author Posted December 4, 2010 at 01:51 PM Thanks everyone, the only reason I picked this laptop was because I need something portable because I'm always travelling and need it for collage and so can't afford laptop and desktop so just have to see how FSX runs Joshua John Web Services Director Virgin Atlantic Virtual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
