February 15, 201610 yr Hello, I'm considering an upgrade from my 3570k running at 4.5 to a 6600k. With appropriate MB and RAM. I should get my new GTX 970 in the next few days to help with AA settings and overall image quality. Would this processor upgrade be worth it? Only using FSX steam with DX 10. Thanks
February 16, 201610 yr Not worth it A went from a gtx 570 to a 970 and literally saw no difference in FSX If you run 4K there would be a difference but at 1080P - meh What is your current gpu? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

Thanks! That's what I thought. I have a gtx 770, but will receive a new 27 inch 1440 monitor later this week. I'm guessing the 970 will help for this, as well as running higher definition clouds. I'm only using PMDG planes too. New card should help in bad weather I gues. Fps are not a problem with the 3570k running at 4.5. Pretty smooth.
