[Chicter53]

Older computer-with an AMD 6 core 3.1 1190t processor,8 gigs memory,1tb ssd,zotac GTX 1050 Ti with 4 g memory.
The video card is direct x 12_1 compliant. I am currenty running P3D 4.5 very smooth and stable.Can I run 5.3 with
sliders at mid range with somewhat reasonable performance? thanks

Hi Chicter53
Here, you will find the system requirements for each P3D version:

You will be able to run P3D v. 5, if - and I stress IF - because I could not see on nVidia's specs if the graphics card was DX12-compatible. If it is, then yes, it will run.

But I will also tell you:

1. It's going to run slowly,

2. If you load add-ons, expect lagging performance, and

3. Why v. 5.3 and not 5.4?

One thing I forgot:

DX12 is supplied by Windows. That means your Windows version has to be 10 or 11 - P3D v. 5 will not work with Windows 7.

And it has to be updated at least to a point where DX12 is included.

When P3D v. 4.5 runs, then you have what you need regarding the .NET Framework and the C++ libraries.
