Need some advice from others who've used TGC and FSX on what computer I should purchase.
I contacted Foresight and they sent me a chart indicating that I should be using these specs for my computer running their software:
- Windows 7 or greater (64 bit required) Works well with Win. 8, 10.
- Minimum i5, recommended i7 (Gen 6) for best performance
- Min spec: 8GB system memory, recommended 16GB for best performance.
- Min spec: stand alone video with 2GB of memory or greater (NO AMD) Must have GeForce 960 or greater... Premium option GeForce GTX 1080
Again, I'm going to be using my GC2 with FSX and TGC. The FSX is advertised as "4k ready". Has anyone used FSX with a 4k projector or TV?
What I'd really like to know is where the areas are where I don't need optimal performance. Is there anyone running TGC out there with an i5 and 8GB or RAM with no problems? And as far as the graphics card is there anyone who gets a good image with something lower than a GeForce 960?
Also, is a desktop computer the better option opposed to a laptop?
There is someone with an Alienware X51 for sale that has a GTX 960, i7 6700K water-cooled and overclocked, 16GB RAM, and an intel maple peak AC wifi with bluetooth 4.0. She's asking $950 CAN for the tower alone ($725 USD). Would this be a good deal?
My last question to anyone out there hitting into a net and using a TV, would you recommend a 4k television? Or is an LED better? I have a 55" one at home thats and 8 series Samsung with 120hz. I also have a 50" Panasonic plasma at home as well that I could use, I figured it might be better for this considering it's 600hz.
Any and all feedback is appreciated! Thank you all in advance.
