January 24, 201511 yr Hello i am thinking of upgrading from my 2700k and GTX 580 to 4820k and GTX 980 for fsx any views thanks. Alexander Shepherd
January 25, 201511 yr Just change the GFX card P3D v4.5 MSFS2020 Hisense 50" 4K TV Ryzen 9600x 64gb DDR5 6000mhz, Asrock B650m HDV/M.2 Gigabyte 16gb 9070XT, Thermalright Aqua Elite 240mm 2TB NVMe Boot/FS2020 Drive, 2TB NVMe P3D Drive. Saitek Yoke, Pedals, Radio Panel, Switch Panel, 2 x FiPs
January 25, 201511 yr get a 4790k its better for fsx and p3d as for the graphics card just get a 970. I don't get any more fps then ppl with 970s do and they paid $300 less ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170

January 25, 201511 yr Author i thought the 4820k would be better can't believe the 4790k is still the best for FSX seems to have been out ages when are we going to get better processors for FSX its so depressing i want to be able to fly at Heathrow in a PMDG 747 with most things set to max.

January 25, 201511 yr It's the poor old software that doesn't benefit from todays hardware..... Intel i9 12900K, Asus ROG Strix Gaming Z690-A Wifi D4, GSkill 32gb, RTX 4090 Regards Chris Kathi

The 4790k has only been out since July. As for performance I can get 35-40 FPS at flightbeam's KIAD in the PMDG 777 with very high settings during a thunderstorm with rex clouds so its a great performing CPU. ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI.

January 25, 201511 yr Author what settings do you have the traffic set on is it better to wait for broadwell or skylake or is amd going to bring anything special out cpu wise. Alexander Shepherd

January 25, 201511 yr what settings do you have the traffic set on is it better to wait for broadwell or skylake or is amd going to bring anything special out cpu wise. I have my traffic 2013 and I run it at 18%. As for AMD I would avoid them I had their FX-8350 (8 core) at 4.5ghz when I switched to my 4790k at 4.5ghz I only changed the CPU and Mobo everything else remained the same even the ram. I gained 15-20 FPS and no more blurry ground textures.(Major issue with my AMD set up) Do you have your 2700k OC'd? ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170
January 25, 201511 yr Author no i tried overclocking it but it wasn't stable beyond 4.6 ghz so i thought theres no point as it didn't give me much improvement in fsx is it possible to get the 4790k to 5ghz. Alexander Shepherd
January 25, 201511 yr Author anyone tried steves DX10 fixer for FSX that must give better frames. Alexander Shepherd
January 25, 201511 yr Author Can you fly at places like heathrow with better frame rates and with woai traffic. Alexander Shepherd
January 25, 201511 yr no i tried overclocking it but it wasn't stable beyond 4.6 ghz so i thought theres no point as it didn't give me much improvement in fsx is it possible to get the 4790k to 5ghz. A lot of people have, I was very happy with it at 4.5ghz as I'm getting great frames with it there and it keeps my CPU voltage low 1.14V but you can get the Intel overclocking plan for $25 and it you burn up your CPU they'll send you another for free if you want to push your cpu to the max. anyone tried steves DX10 fixer for FSX that must give better frames. I use it and its great idk about an FPS gain but even at low frames it smoother than with DX9 due to some changes in the rendering process. ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170
