Hi guys ,

 

I need some help to decide if i should upgrade my system ,

 

Currently i have a system , see specs below , but want to change to a Ivy bridge 3770 K , Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB iZ77 motherboard , Corsair 4x4GB, DDR3, PC12800, CL7 memory , MSI Videokaart PCI-e GeForce GTX680 Lightning 2GB graphic card , Corsair SSD 2.5", 240GB, SATA600 disk .

 

I mainly use my system for FSX but my children use it for playing other games , school etc .

 

Will there be a big improvement in FSX with upgrading ?

 

Thanks in advance ,

 

 

Best regards ,

Yes, tremendous. More so if you overclock, which I assume you will. Don't expect to get more than about 4.7GHz though.

ok thanks but is the difference in oc between 4.7 and 4.2 so big because fsx is a cpu game or does the new graphic card GTX 680 also makes a huge difference ? How many fps could i get with a new system with the specs above ?

 

 

Thanks ,

Hi Gerard,

I have done runs on GA-Z77-UD5H with a 2700K and 3770K. with GTX 680 4GB

If you dont orderd yet change the mems to at least 2400 cl9 set it be the rams holding you back

Hi Hasse ,

 

thanks for the tip , i haven t ordered the mems but was going to be today .

when it comes to memory and to search for good mem i have a problem in setting the right timings and don't know precisely the difference in cl9 , cl7 and how to set the timings .

I read a lot on the different oc forums but don't know how to set or try the timing settings .

 

Best regards ,
