So I got my money saved and I'm ready for the ultimate PC for a smooth FSX/VR experience with Flyinside. I am hoping I get some advice on where to spend my money.
I am currently running Flyinside FSX on an ASUS Gaming A80CJ-DS51 VivoPC X, Oculus 1.2 runtime, GeForce GTX 1060, Core i5 7300HQ, 8GB, 1TB HDD, 4 x USB 3.1, and Windows 10 Home.
I should have a smooth experience but that is not the case since I have ORBX FTX, and UTX, a bunch of airport add-ons, and PMDG airplanes. So after all is loaded, my FPS gets to as low as 11-15 and 22-25 at best. I am following Kostas FSX configurations with 0 traffic, but still annoyingly low FPS where I keep getting kicked out of VR to the Flyinside main menu for few seconds, which is not good at take-off and landing.
Nonetheless, I'm ready to upgrade and I've read the Flyinside wiki Hardware and Performance recommendation pages, and bunch of threads on the topic. The Flyinside FSX performance configurations recommended are a bit too low for a rich experience and the hardware recommended seem similar to what I currently have, so I'm guessing they are a bit outdated. But I gathered that I should invest more on the CPU with decent speeds and 4 cores are enough, and I should have a decent GPU but not necessarily top of the line. So where to go from here? If I am ready to splurge get the best out there with a $5k budget, what should I get? I'm open to building my own PC as well.
Thanks,
Mustafa
