MicrosoftA few days ago, “Microsoft Flight Simulator” was finally brought toXbox Series X|S game console platform, and advertised to be equivalentWindows Similar play experience on PC platform, but are there any obvious differences among them?
Let’s take a look at the hardware specifications of “Microsoft Flight Simulator” on the Windows PC platform. The minimum threshold requires at least Intel Core i5-4460, or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 processors, and paired with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 or AMD Radeon RX. 570, and equipped with 8GB memory, the display memory on the display card must be at least 2GB or more, and the storage capacity must also be more than 150GB, and use Windows 10 operating system and DirectX 11 version at the same time.
From an overall point of view, such hardware specifications are not high. Generally, the hardware specifications of a few years ago can meet the requirements of execution and operation, and the cost of the overall construction is not too high. Of course, in order to pursue higher image performance, users can also use higher hardware specifications, such as Intel Core i9 processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, and more memory capacity, but this will also allow The cost of construction has increased significantly.
Looking at the Xbox Series X|S currently on the market, the current recommended price is NT$15,380, with a customized CPU designed with AMD Zen 2 architecture and a customized GPU built with the RDNA2 display architecture. It can play a total of 12 TFLOPS computing performance, and correspond to DirectX real-time ray tracing effect, and can also correspond to a maximum of 120fps frame update rate, HDR display effect and 4K resolution output, and even can correspond to 8K image quality performance.
Therefore, in a rough comparison, it is more than enough to run “Microsoft Flight Simulator” with the performance of Xbox Series X. At the same time, it can also use DriectX Raytracing technology to achieve real-time ray tracing effects, thereby presenting more realistic visual images.
In terms of overall cost, it would be more advantageous to choose Xbox Series X to play “Microsoft Flight Simulator”, especially Xbox Series X integrates “Quick Resume” (Quick Resume) and “Direct Storage” (DirectStorage) functions, the former will The previous game can be restored faster. The latter allows the GPU to directly access the data stored in the storage device, so that the batch access process that originally required the CPU through the I/O port can be completed at a faster speed. This improves the overall execution efficiency of the game.
Although similar functions will be available in Windows 11 in the future, Microsoft will not officially launch Windows 11 until at least October. Although Windows 10 will be allowed to use, the actual performance may be different from Windows 11 and Xbox Series X.
In addition, judging from the actual amount of money spent, to assemble a Windows PC that has similar performance to the Xbox Series X, and at the same time can smoothly play the same execution screen and smoothness of the game, the overall cost will be significantly more than that of the Xbox Series X, or even more. It is difficult to find a case design that fits the same size of the Xbox Series X body. Even if there is, it may be difficult to find a suitable motherboard to install the processor, memory, graphics card, SSD and other components, and may even worry about the heat dissipation of the system.
However, the Windows PC version of “Microsoft Flight Simulator” naturally has its advantages. With the flexibility of replacing components, the Windows PC version can even correspond to higher resolution, rendering effects, and screen fineness performance by replacing the graphics card. It can support multi-screen output, and supports a wider display ratio setting, so as to correspond to different experience of playing field.
However, if you want to experience flying in the sky through a simpler play experience, naturally choosing Xbox Series X will be easier.
As for “Microsoft Flight Simulator” that currently only supports language interfaces such as English and has a sense of distance, the current development team Asobo Studio has also confirmed that it will add a Chinese interface design in 2022, and even support DirectX 12 in the future, so it will use Chinese Players can use it more easily to experience, and at the same time can play a more exquisite display effect.
