I am going to upgrade my system soon (my current system is so outdated
I can't use flightgear well on it). Even cheap recent cpu's are more
than capable of handling desktop tasks but what about graphics? I
don't need much power in a graphics card, except for flightgear, and
it is not clear how much I need for that.
The flightgear web site and wiki mention that any recent graphics card
should be fine for flightgear. Is that really the case if you want
to have all the bells and whistles turned on and have a decent frame
rate? I'm talking about shadows, fires, etc, while flying one of the
larger planes (lots of triangles and textures).
For example, I'd love to get away with a Radeon 3450 (low power,
fanless and only about $50) but will get something more powerful if
needed.
On to the questions:
What are the hardware requirements for flightgear at its most
demanding?
Are there any features in development that will require more powerful
graphics?
*MOST IMPORTANT*
What is the cpu and graphics card in your system and what frame rates
do you get in flightgear? Also give your OS.
Hopefully we'll get enough information from this thread so I can
update the wiki with something more useful.
