I have an HP 2000 Laptop, completely stock. I am thinking of buying FSX, but I'm not sure it will run too well. Should I get it and try it?

What I Could find from Google in a Nutshell:

AMD E-300 (1.3GHz Dual Core) or E2-3000 (1.65 GHz Dual Core)

4GB RAM

AMD Radeon HD 6310 (Integrated with the E-300) or AMD Radeon HD 8280 (Integrated with the E2-3000)

 

I'd Say Don't even Bother, I'd Say Roughly 30 FPS is Lucky at Everything at Minimum/Off, Especially with Boxed FSX.

 

Here's Minimum Requirements:

 

• MINIMUM:
  • OS: Windows® Service Pack 2 or later 
  • Processor: 2.0 Ghz or higher (single core) 
  • Memory: 2 GB RAM 
  • Graphics: DirectX®9 compliant video card or greater, 256 MB video RAM or higher, Shader Model 1.1 or higher (Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required) 
  • DirectX: Version 9.0c 
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection 
  • Storage: 30 GB available space 
  • Additional Notes: Broadband internet connection required for multiplayer features

I can run War Thunder on almost max graphics with 15-30 FPS, so I think it would do fine, I'm just wondering if it would be able to run around the same. Does anyone else have the same crappy model as me?

Be careful, FSX really requires a good laptop or desktop as said by the others. I own a very good game computer, and I can't even run it as I want it too. You may start with testing the free demo?

You should have at least a Pentium processor from the last 2 years (ideally Core i3-5157u or higher). I run on a Core i3-4030u with 4GB RAM and integrated graphics. It runs fine, but your specs will not keep up.

Thanks everybody!

Get FS9. Same concept, a whole lot smoother and stable imo.

Except FS9 is s***e, but yes, it will run on that thing.

 

Also, war thunder is an entirely different ball game, 

 

I can run FSX/P3D at virtually max settings with a lot of payware addons and still get anywhere from 40-70 FPS.
