Will these specs give a nice rendering / smooth play of X Plane 11?

Question

27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display

• 4.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.2GHz
• 16GB 1867MHz DDR3 SDRAM - two 8GB
• 1TB Fusion Drive
• AMD Radeon R9 M390 with 2GB video memory

Answer 1

It sounds quite adequate; my only concern would be the 2GB video memory... X-Plane can very easily use greater than 2GB... usually between 2GB and 3GB VRAM, depending on the settings.

Thanks 'JoeFlyer15'!

I think I'll go for more video memory:

• 3.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
• 16GB 1867MHz DDR3 SDRAM - two 8GB
• 256GB Flash Storage
• AMD Radeon R9 M395X with 4GB video memory
