|
|
I have a new HP computer with an aftermarket graphics card (sorry im being vague but i dont know the specs). The graphics of FSX are dandy, but i have some problems and was wanting to know if RAM was the answer
my beefs:
-Windows runs incredibly slow for a long time after the start and close of FSX
-I cant get any AI traffic or it will drastically reduce my framerate
-Textures take a long time to load once im flying and frequently reloads while im flying
Im not very good with computer modifications, but would RAM be the best solution for these problems? If so, how much? |

I guess we would want to know how many ram you have abord the rig right now? 128mb? 256mb? 512mb? 768mb? 1GB? 2GB?
Also, it would be a BIG advantage for us to know at least your GFX card name. You can find it by: Rightclick on your desktop --> Properties --> Settings --> Advanced --> Card. |

Also need to know if the card is 128mb, 256mb, 512mb. It does make a difference.
Depending on what your MB can handle for RAM, I would increase it to 2GB as a minimum. FSX is a huge RAM hog.
As for your windows running slow, that could be alot of reasons, and really not having anything at all to do with RAM.
How fast is your processor???
