Hi

I'm wondering, what CPU would it take to run FSX - all sliders maxed (including traffic) - at LAX (default scenery) and have at least 20 FPS?

How about the scenario mentioned above, but in stereoscopic 3D? (NVIDIA 3D vision). Would that put a much larger load on the CPU?

i5 3570K @ 4.3GHz, ASRock Z77 Pro3, EVGA GTX 670 FTW, 8GB DDR3, 128GB Samsung 830, 500GB Seagate Barracuda, Thermaltake Armor A60, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech K800, Logitech M510, Windows 8 Pro x64, FSX Acceleration

Your best bet is an overclocked Core i7 2600K.

I presume 3d would need a faster processor.

Depends on planes scenery e.t.c Wink

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

I can get that with my i2500K running at 4.2Ghz, assuming full default traffic.

Thanks, that's just what I wanted to know.

So does anyone know how much the FPS would drop by if 3D vision was enabled?

I just ran a test run over LAX with a 20.4 frame rate. See following image. My PC is a maxed out i7 920 overclocked to 4 GHz.

1. Chaser MK-1 Full Tower ATX Computer Case
2. Core i7 3770K 1155 Processor OC to 4.7 GHz
3. ASUS Maximus V Gene Motherboard
4. EVGA GTX580 1536MB Video Card
5. 16 GB C8 G.SKILL Low Profile RAM
6. Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler
7. 240 GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD
8. 120 GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD
9. 1 TB Backup Drive
10. Samsung TOC 26 inch Monitor
