Start > run > dxdiag - display tab should say your graphics card

In another thread, someone posted a link to Microsoft and they actually gave optimum specs. The best processor, according to them is a
3.6GHz; 2.8 is middle of the road. Graphics card recommended is 512MB with 256 in the middle.

In spite of that, Im getting a consistent 12-30 FPS with my 2.4GHz and 256 AGP, with many of the tweaks in place, of course. 10 FPS in
the version, really isn't that bad, surprisingly, although a consistent 20 is still the standard.

OMG I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT I HAVE 128.00 MB GRAPHICS CARD!!!! it is the bit that says approx. total memory, if so how much will a
512MB from a computer fair kinda thing, or from a shop?? so i have a middle of the road pc excluding the grpahics card?

I fail on the video card i have 2 x256mb (512mb) needed.

I can play the game with medium settings.

I need a video card

[unimike]

I have the following settings:

1.6GHz AMD Sempron processor
128mb Nvidivia Geforce FX 5600 AGP 2x
160 Gig Hard Drive
1 Gig RAM

I am able to run the FSX at the medium settings without any heavy impact in system performance but yes it will suffer when the add-ons begins to
support FSX but at the bare FSX it can run just fine with the system specs I just have provided.
