I have not yet received my new computer, a HP Pavilion dv6t Laptop, I have FSX waiting to use. The only issue I see is that on the FSX box, it says under "System Requirements" that I should have a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card and my new computer comes with Intel HD Integrated Graphics. Will this be good enough? If not, can I get it replaced?

P.S. I'm new.

I have the same graphics card, I think. FSX runs pretty well with the settings at a medium-low setting (With 100% traffic). You can't replace a graphics card in a laptop, I'm pretty sure (well at least not mine). What I heard will make FS run best is to get a copy of FS9 for $10 in eBay. That's what I'm gonna do. FSX will run OK, FS9 will run better.

Whatever was ordered with the laptop you are stuck with. As mentioned, you might have better success with fs9

Thanks for answering so quickly! I will see if I like how it works right now, if it is unbearable I will get FS9. Most likely, I will just continue with FSX, I am not that particular!
