I am running P3d v2 which is generally ok, but I struggle to get a smooth flight at 25-30 fps.

 

My system is

 

i7-930 @4.2ghz,

6mb RAM,

GTX480

Asus Rampage 3 motherboard

256mb SSD

Win 7

 

In order to get a bit more performance I was thinking of upgrading my computer. Given that the GPU does more of the work under P3d v2 I was thinking that this would be the best place to splash the cash. Am I likely to see a decent performance increase with a GTX780 or should I look at a new processor instead?

 

Thanks

480 a bit long in the tooth now, good card though it was.

 

Don't run P3D myself but have read that a Min of 2GB of Vram is needed for smooth running. That said I guess the answer to your question is YES. Get the best you can afford.

Hi 

 

I just went from a 580 to a MSI 780ti, and i love it. 

I dint get many FPS in P3D, but much more smooth.

Thanks for the replies guys. You have helped me decide to go for it and get the 780GTX.
