X-Plane 10 System Requirements
X-Plane 10 requires, at the minimum,
a 2 GHz, single-core CPU,
2 GB of RAM, and
a video card with 128 MB of on-board, dedicated video RAM (VRAM).
However, for the best experience, we recommend the following:
a 3 GHz, multi-core CPU (or, even better, multiple processors),
4 GB of RAM, and
a video card with 1 GB of on-board, dedicated VRAM.
X-Plane will take advantage of as many cores or distinct processors as you can afford. Having 16 cores split among 4 CPUs is not required by any means, but Version 10 would be able to use every one. No more than 4 GB of RAM is necessary, but the more VRAM you have, the better–X-Plane 10 can easily use 1.5 GB of VRAM at the maximum settings
