KA350i System Requirements
Are the KA350i system requirements of 16 GB RAM and 8 GB video RAM really the minimum or would a lesser machine (8 GB RAM and 3 GB video) be sufficient with reduced settings?
I was excited to get the long-awaited KA350i until I saw the system requirements include 16 GB RAM and 8 GB video RAM. My lowly i5 system with 8 GB RAM and 3 GB video limps along well enough with my MilViz 310R, DHC2 and PC-6 as well numerous other aircraft by A2A, Vertx and others, all while flying over various ORBX regions and airports. I do sometimes have to throttle back the P3D graphics settings to reduce stutters but still manage some great flying.

Re: KA350i System Requirements
it will work but, you MIGHT have to lower your settings... Especially if you're using addon scenery/airports.

Thanks for the reply. I had finally resolved to bite the bullet and shell out the $80 rather than hold off for a sale when I ran into this snag.

It'll work, look at my system, lol
My vid card is even broken right now, with system only reporting 1 GB. I have a new one to install, but have to do the power supply at the same time. I'll be upgrading to a 1660Ti with 6GB.

Hi,
I've got the same question. My config is as follows:
- i7 4790k
- GTX970 Gaming 4G
- 16 GB RAM
Do you think it is sufficient for this wonderful addon?
What are your configurations?
Matt

Re: KA350i System Requirements
Thank you very much for your answer.
Do you use other addons with KA350i (such as ORBX Global or other 3rd-part sceneries)?
Other advice?
