June 4, 201610 yr Hi I currently have a I5 4670k running at 3.4gh and a GTX 760 GPU . I'm looking at buying either a GTX 1070 or I7 6700K at 4.3gh. What would be more beneficial to buy for P3D the GTX 1070 or the i7 processor. Obviously I know the I5 can be overclocked as it's the K version that I have but to my demise it has seemed to Blue Screen my pc whenever I overclock but ah well, Thanks Happy Simming !
June 4, 201610 yr With either upgrade path you will have a bottle neck. I would think keeping the 760 and upping the processor would be the best, but upping the processor will call for new motherboard. I do not think you will gain as much with just upping the graphics card as compared to gains with the processor upgrade. (the 1070 may require new PSU, but I haven't checked out its specs yet) I'm sure someone else will contribute their thoughts. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's
