I thought I'd make an updated post for this type of discussion.

Why don't we discuss our computers with eachother? My desktop has AMT FX-6100, x6 Core Processor, and x32 Windows 7. In Orbiter, I usually get around 60-140 FPS. What do y'all have? Respond with your specs, and whether you're using a desktop or laptop. Let's see who has the most powerful machine! :lol:

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section; I felt it was more relevant to post it in a section devoted to hardware/software rather the Burlington Lounge.

Desktop:

  • CPU: Intel Pentium G3420 @ 3.2 GHz/3.2 GHz
  • System RAM: 10 GB
  • Windows 7 Pro x64
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

Not sure of the FPS as I'm running with V.synch activated which locks the frame rate to the monitor refresh rate (60 Hz).

60 fps - because I also use VSync. Without VSync, its 120 fps in windowed mode.

A notebook, but a decent one.

  • AMD A10 CPU, four cores at 2.1GHz
  • 8GB RAM
  • 1TB HDD. No SSD, sadly.
  • Radeon HD8610G with 5GB video memory

A typical Orbiter simulation runs at around 240 FPS without vsync in windowed mode. Fullscreen performance is about 1/10th that.

Well, I'm farsighted, so for monitor-reading I just put on a set of 1.5 diopter, store-bought reading glasses. Good compromise between close-up vision and mesopic (to 1m or so) vision.

Oh, is that not what you meant? ;)

No, seriously. Orbiter runs pretty smooth using stock DX7 client.
