February 26, 201511 yr Hi guys , i need some quick advice At this moment i have a i7 3770K oc to 4.5 ghz with a GTX680 and thinking about upgrading . About the processor , i am thinking to get a i7 5820K with a GTX 980 or perhaps 2 GTX970 cards , offcourse new mainboard and DDR as well Should i see an improvement with this processor and what is better 1 GTX980 or 2 GTX970 Thanks in advance , Best regards , Gérard Edited February 26, 201511 yr by ger Best regards , Gérard van Veldhoven
March 1, 201511 yr The 5820k is slightly faster than the 3770k and will give you a little more fps. However, you Fs will be more smooth, as you then have 2 more cores for terrain loading. At this moment if you have 1 monitor I would choose a 980. If you use a multimonitor setup ( 2 or 3 outside views ) I would go for 2x 970. 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
March 1, 201511 yr I personally am waiting for Skylake as I heard they are going to be a big step up from Broadwell. I could be wrong however, my research was pretty slap-dash.Woops I didn't realise broadwell had been delayed. I'm thinking now to wait for Broadwell/Skylake and maybe get Skylake but if Broadwells are really cheap (they probably will be), that could be a good chance to get an "extreme" CPU for cheap.
March 1, 201511 yr Before considering 2 x 970s make sure you are aware of the potential issues caused by the way the memory has been partitioned and that the majority of people who experience issues are running SLI and / or high resolutions. You may be fine for FSX / P3D which aren't too demanding on the memory but if you play games there are a few out there that use large amounts of memory and this number will increase as time goes on.
March 1, 201511 yr Author Thanks all , think i m going for a 6core 5820 and oc it and a GTX980 since i run single monitor , didn't know about the problems when running dual GTX 970 so thanks for pointning me this way I did some research and it seems that you can oc a 5820 to 4.5-4.6 and a i7 4790K also to about 4.5-4.6 allthough the base speed of a 4790 is higher but the 5820 is a better overclocker and you get the 2 extra cores , so thinking about going that direction Best regards , Gérard van Veldhoven
