Is this system enough for a good experience?

Question

Hello,

I was considering buying a gaming desktop PC that xplane 11 could run enjoyably on. By enjoyably I mean with a framerate above 25fps and a decent/realistic graphics setting.

This is the system:

Ryzen 5 2600x 3.6ghz

MSI Nvidia GTX 1660 6gb

16 gb (2x8) corsair vengance DDR4 3000mhz ram

Is this enough for an enjoyable experience? Thanks.

Answer 1

The system you described is adequate to run X-Plane 11.  With rendering settings at medium to medium-high, it should achieve 25+ FPS.  There are other factors you have not specified: display resolution, type of aircraft etc.  Flying X-Plane’s generic airplanes at single 1080p—no problem.  But with some of the complex payware aircraft and/or at higher resolutions, FPS may get a bit edgy.
