My rig is about four years old now, but it was pretty high end when I bought it so it is still pretty competitive. I mostly fly FSX which is some six years old now, so my rig isn't working that hard.
My Specs:
- Intel Core i7 940 @ 2.93 GHz (Stock - warm climate)
- Dual nVidia GTX 280s
- 6 GB RAM
- 1 TB HDD @ 7500 RPM
- 150 GB HDD @ 10000 RPM
I'll post a pic below:
Dual graphics cards mean that I can hook up four monitors. I use three to display the VC, and I use the fourth to display 2D panels such as the AP and the FMC. I'm getting frame rates in the low teens with the PMDG NGX (my biggest FR hog), and fairly low graphics settings.
