FlightSim PC Hardware Information - Introduction
Posted by admin on Tuesday, November 20 @ 02:18:19 EST
After fielding many questions about the Hardware I was using for my display at the OZ Flight Sim Expo, I have decided to write a series of articles containing a little more information about what I have and why I think it's the best possible setup for running FSX right now.
In this information you will find a few inserts from my post about the purchase of this new PC but with the updated stuff I added after my PC was stolen only 6 weeks before the Expo.
My display at the expo consisted of a 3 Monitor Display with a High End Custom designed PC fully overclocked running at a low temp running in the high 40's.
I have spent the last 15 years building and overclocking performance PC's for my friends and for personal use but this was the first time I had put one on display for others to enjoy.
People from all over the country could take the controls and fly anywhere around the world with Real World Weather downloaded of the internet every 15 min. The detail and resolution sliders were also turned all the way up with 4xAA and 4XAF. With this much detail to play with people found it hard to believe it was the default scenery they were looking at.
So here it goes.
In brief
CPU = Intel(I) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU Q6850 @ 3.0GHz (OC 3.66GHz)
GPU = NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra (OC Secret)
Memory = Kingston HyperX 2 x 1GB (OC 4.4.4.12 CAS)
Motherboard = P5N32-E SLI
Hard Drives = 2 x Raptor 150GB 10,000RPM in RAID 0
Monitors = 3 x ViewSonic 22" LCD's (1680*1050 DVI 5ms RFR)
