Hey all,
Brief introduction: I've never played rFactor, but want to get into it as I've been playing the codemasters games on the PS3 and recently purchased a T500RS with the F1 wheel trim.
With that being said, a few years ago I built a PC to use when working from home which I would like to upgrade to play rFactor (the original is fine if my machine won't run Rfactor 2) and Flight Simulator X. When I built the machine, I made sure to be heavy on RAM and screens, and that's about it (civil engineer...lots of HP and screen space needed for cadd programs). My current specs are i3 @ 3.2 and 16 GB DDR3 with a 650 W power supply.
I would be interested in upgrading my GPU to run the three screens I currently have without having to split the outputs as I do now. I'm somewhat budget limited so I've been looking at a GeForce GTX960. My question I suppose is, can anyone tell me if that card will sufficiently run at least rFactor 1 and FSX (not AS important), or will I be stuck in low FPS hell until I upgrade the CPU? Sorry if this variation of question has already been asked, but I wasn't able to find it by searching. Thanks for your time!
