March 16, 201016 yr Author With no overclocking and all six cores active you won... :( but testing is not over yet :( But good thing is, that unclocked i7 980 X is as fast as my "old" W3580 (=i7 975) at 4400MHz!FSX most uses the first core, as everybody now already, therefore I hope with a decent overclocking, FSX will run better than with i7 975. But not as fast as we hoped I suspect...
March 16, 201016 yr With the performance difference between two and four "core" in the FSX, I thought that six will increase so much that performance.
March 16, 201016 yr Author I hoped so, but it seams that from 4 to 6 cores the performance boost is not that much.I'm now at 4400MHz (1.35 VCore and very low 55C on load) with this overclocking (only multi at 33) I get 3-5 FPS more than with W3580 (i7 975). Flying is much more smooth though. Will do a video as soon as I found the right settings.

Will do a video as soon as I found the right settings.3-5 isn't very much, and more smoothness is explained by more cores, I think that might be a very simple explanation.
March 16, 201016 yr Author Think you are right Word Not Allowed. More cores + the power of 32nm.RegardsPad
March 16, 201016 yr I wonder if by turning off two cores though the BIOS, the four cores that are left might be able to be overclocked higher due to less heat. What do you guys think?RH
March 17, 201016 yr Author Wow, nice oc. 1.35v for 4.4g :( , what is the average fps now? above 25 fps?At JFK (from FSDT) with UTX, GEX, FSGenesis Mesh and UT2 SP1, I get smooth 20-30 FPS av.FSX Settings are:I always use the same default flight (Day and Time)
March 17, 201016 yr WOW really, thats awesome, let me ask I saw you had an I7 975 before, did you get around the same results with that cpu or does the 980 really make a big difference.

But not as fast as we hoped I suspect...Wow! I hope that these benchmarkers will rerun their benchmarks because they seem to be totally wrong regarding performance compared to the 975 at default speed:http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i...ftown,2573.htmlhttp://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3763
