The new 3.0 PCI-E bus is what to be excitied about and FSX will gain performance from this.

And you know that how? Nobody outside Nvidia really ever got his hands on the new Kepler cards or knows how PCIe3 will affect performance. The articles on this topic (PCIe3) that I've read so far talked about minimal gains in performance that are not even noticeable without Benchmarks. So at this point everything is pure speculation and therefore you shouldn't walk around and act like it was a fact. Just a piece of good advice.

FSX however, is very different. With a wicked fast CPU, you will quickly see the PCIe2 bottleneck. I am very confident that the PCIE3 bus will give us a nice jump in performance in heavy autogen areas.

I'm not saying it might not be the case. But right now we don't know anything for sure and therefore we should wait until we actually have results before making statements like this.

Of course its speculation sir, why is anyone prohibited to making a statement about a known bottleneck? It amazes me how some people feel obligated to jump on a thread and make critical comments over nothing but helpful chat between fellow simmers. Thanks for the advice but none taken in this instance.

Sorry, but you wrote "[...] and FSX will gain performance from this". This doesn't sound like a speculation in any way, that's a fact by definition. Second, there is no reason for you to attack me personally. I just pointed out that you should consider to make it more clear that this is nothing but speculation. Because to use your own words, it is not really "helpful to other simmers" to just state personal expectations as facts.I'm glad we sorted this out, now back to topic.

Fact is that there are situations where large changes in CPU or GPU speed makes barely no difference to FPS in FSX but at the same situations reducing the PCIe bandwith has a large impact. Therefore I find it safe to conclude that increasing PCIe bandwidth at those situations will be beneficial.But it is right that we can't know for sure until we have the hardware to test with.
