January 19, 200917 yr I would go with the i7. Although it cost a lot... it doubles the fps of the other cpu you listed.-Vincent

January 23, 200917 yr Author One final question before I put this rig together tomorrow, can I install XP64 on the i7? Jacek G. Ryzen 5800X3D | Asus RTX4090 OC | 64gb DDR4 3600 | Asus ROG Strix X570E | HX1000w | Fractal Design Torrent RGB | AOC AGON 49' Curved QHD |
January 24, 200917 yr One final question before I put this rig together tomorrow, can I install XP64 on the i7?of course!
January 27, 200917 yr Author Nick, first of thank you so very much for the recommendation. I've finally put the rig together, installed OS, FS9 and a massive amount of add-ons. I'm on my third flight and just can't get enough of it. Fantastic performance, spectacular even!!! Holy Crap!!!! I didn't even clock it yet! I've had two different computers running FS9 in the past, but I never seen a performance like this, probably because I never listened to the advice of other users in terms of specing out a proper system. I've never had 40-55Fps at ORD (FSDT), full AI, ASV and UT USA and being that this is my home airport, I am in FS heaven for the first time in my sim career, wow. :DI might be even slightly tempted to install FSX when I'll get over the FS9 experience. Thanks again, I owe you a beer. :) Jacek G. Ryzen 5800X3D | Asus RTX4090 OC | 64gb DDR4 3600 | Asus ROG Strix X570E | HX1000w | Fractal Design Torrent RGB | AOC AGON 49' Curved QHD |
