June 14, 200916 yr I currently have an AMD 64 3000+ and am considering an AMD 64 X2 Windsor 6400+ 3.2GHz Duo. Will I see a significant gain in performance? ThanksTodd
June 14, 200916 yr Yeah, I went from a AMD3700 to the 6000 and it made a pretty big difference. But you also want to make sure your video card fairly new to balance things out - something like a 8800GT to with that CPU | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

ThanksToddYes you will, I did upgrade from a X2-4000 to a X2-6400 few month ago and do not regret it. A good way to know if the CPU is limiting our FPS is to have the task manager running in background and check for CPU usage. Note that you will with complex aircrafts in complex sceneries with lots of traffic still reach the limit of the X2-6400...cheersJulien
June 15, 200916 yr It'll be a massive difference as fs9 is heavily based on the CPU. Also I have the 8800gts 512 and it's an excellent card, esp when slightly overclocked. - Red E8500 @ 4.1 | EVGA 275GTX (overclocked) | 2x2GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline @ 1066 | Samsung 24inch LCD @ 1920x1080 |
June 15, 200916 yr Thanks for the input guys. Hopefully I'll be able to fly into a big city in a nice vc without the frame rates plummeting to 5 or 6. :(
