November 24, 201312 yr That's not at all what I was saying though Noel. The OP was saying there is basically no improvement from a 2600K to a 4770K, which simply put, is not true. The improvement can be quite noticeable in FSX. Perhaps not in other games, but FSX is it's own beast. -Anthony Young- "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." - Leonardo da Vinci
November 24, 201312 yr Author That's not at all what I was saying though Noel. The OP was saying there is basically no improvement from a 2600K to a 4770K, which simply put, is not true. The improvement can be quite noticeable in FSX. Perhaps not in other games, but FSX is it's own beast. Reading FSX11Mark there is not much improvement upgrading from a 2600k to a 4770k. However, in the same time upgrading to a better quality mobo ,faster memory and faster graphics card can show a difference up to 8-10% in fps... Also knowing How to oc a system atributes to the performance. Hasse ( Westman) for example is a master in overclocking. His 2700k setup outperformed several 4770 setups. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0

FSX11Mark is probably the best objective test in something that can have big subjective elements when looked at only anecdotally, and as you point out there isn't much improvement in upgrading the CPU by itself. Combined w/ other parts the difference is measurable but not earth shattering. I have been running no limiters except VSYNC ON and so it's arguably easy to assess frame rate differences. What matters the most to me is how the sim performs in the worst of scenarios--like flying the NGX into CYVR at night w/ in FTX scenery w/ full 3D lights visible. The problem is that here 10% better gets you from 22 to 24 frames per second and that's hard to argue bothering w/ an upgrade for. In the end we have to accept some compromise and move sliders accordingly in these situations--hopefully P3D v2 will help a little in this department, but that remains to be seen. We'll be compromising there too but that's ultimately a good thing as it means there is scalability in the sim and that just gives headroom to grow.

November 29, 201312 yr I have to disagree my new 4770K @ 4.4GHZ out-performed both my 2700K 5GHZ systems in most heavy situations by at least 15-20%, same 670GTX for all three. Most simmer who helped me get there had similar results with their FSX performance HYMMV always applies.
