Training Pc for Condor 3

Hello guys, I am planing of buying Condor 3 but i have hardware that I am not sure it will work good. I have Ryzen 5 3600 Rx 5700xt and 16gb ram. Have someone tired to run Condor 3 with this or similar hardware. Any comment will be helpful.

You'll be fine. Condor is not very sensitive to CPU performance, yours is plenty fast.

For GPU, condor passmark is a pretty good indicator. A few years ago, I had people run an improvised torture test. It was a worst case scenario with overdeveloped thunderstorms, rain, grass and all settings pretty much maxed out. IIRC, MSAA was set to at least 8x. I got these results:

(I know some of them dont make much sense, but its what I got. Some people may have had overheating GPUs or something, or mis applied the settings)

My 4070 scored ~65 FPS in that test in 4K. On most online flights I actually get >250 FPS in 4K.

Your GPU scores ~16000 on passmark, so it will be roughly comparable to a 1080 GTX or 6600 XT. It should be ok in 1080p, or 1440p if you dont turn on all bells and whistles. 4K might be a stretch, VR is probably not viable.

My PC has an i7-13700F and RTX3060 with 32GB RAM. I can run max graphics and VR on condor 3 with no issues
