Anyone running P3Dv4 on a 4790K?

4790k 4.4Ghz, GTX 1070, 16GB runs very well at 1440p

My drives do not see each other so I don't cross contaminate each other and this allows me to build up one drive while still fly on the other drive. This way I am never down a simulator

What..?

i have 2 1TB SSD installed in my system. When I hold down F8 in boot I can select which drive I want to boot too. It's like the old Dual Boot method. One drive has Win7 64 and the other has Win10. This way I can keep flying on one drive as I build up the other. I did this when I was flying FSX on one drive and building up P3D on the other. Once I fully moved over to P3Dv3 I wiped the FSX drive and in the process of putting a clean install of Win10 and P3Dv4. I also have a 500gb SSD as a storage drive which both 1TB can see so I can access my installer files and downloads. This prevents  me from screwing up anything.

Not really sure what you mean with "my drives don't see each other"... Drives don't see anything.  Your OS does. And if you have 2 disks installed both of them will be visible by the OS.

I went into disk management and removed the drive letter from the second 1TB so it will not show up in Windows Explorer. Yes I know the OS can see it in disk managment but I isolated it so Windows does not see it with a drive letter or access unless I go in and add a drive letter. Next time I'll be more clear. As far as my windows is concerned there separate from each other. I can wipe one OS and not effect the other.

Wow, I feel like an oldie!  Mine is running with an ancient i7-2700K Oc. 4.8 Ghz and a GTX980.  Performance gain for me versus V3 has been phenomenal, finally smooth flight with ORBX and FSDT.  So go ahead and stick with yours for a while yet.  You will be seeing an even bigger jump than I saw with mine.  Perhaps in 1-2 years I will upgrade, but right now I am just fine.

4790 @ 4.0,  GeForce GTX1050Ti, 32 GB RAM. Running great!

If that's non k cpu then may want to try turning on sync all cores or similar in BIOS, its mild overclock type of thing but allows for much stable turbo boost and puts all cores to 4ghz which may help with smoothness in the sim. At default setting fluctuates a lot and averages to much lower frequency while with this turned on all cores average at ~3.9 ghz in hwinfo.

i would upgrade, not only because the cpu, but the chipset with native nvm-e m.2 support, i don't even have a physical hardrive connected to my computer, i have using 3 1tb m.2's now, 2 in raid 0 and one in my pci-e slot.also the ddr4 is a plus higher capacity ram on a single ram stick.i delidded my own 7700k at 5.2ghz with an asus maximus code 9. i replaced my tim with liquid medal and keep a max temp of 64c under full load. you can take your new ddr4 with you to your next build. i just put this together 2 months ago and selling my cpu and board at the end of the month for the 8 or 10 core I9.the 8 and 10 cores come out of the box with a turbo boost of 4.5ghz 8 core and 4.3 ghz 10 core. i upgrade every cycle not because of the cpu, but because of the features that come on the boards, i plan on running 5-6 m.2's on the new rig. just my opinion.

The upcoming  x299 chipset based cpu' s you are taking about will have 4.5 ghz only on 2 automatically selected cores by Intel turbo boost 3.0 , rest of the six cores remain on 4.3 max (with turbo boost 2.0).

All this is without overclocking offcourse ..

Lets Hope they clock well ! 

 

Kind regards

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Looks like I'll go with clean install on spare drive. 

I'm very happy with my 4790K @ 4.6GHz (Paired with a GTX 970.) still for Prepar3D v3 & v4. I duplicated my v3 settings to the best that I could in v4, and I get about the same if not slightly higher in v4. Even though fps is the same in some areas I feel like in v4 is that it's much smoother and I get more value for the FPS hit in settings. I'm still tweaking things, but the 4790K still has a good IPC for Prepar3D.

I'm running on a 4770 @ 4.2.   Did my first long haul with V4 yesterday  - JFK-LHR.  First time ever able to arrive in the UK with FTX England and UK2000 LHR installed with a PMDG aircraft and AS16.  No stutters, no moaning, no crashing, no freezing.  Brilliant.

For OP...

If you run 4790k at 4.7 (very nice indeed) you propably can get something like 5% performance (so 1FPS in CPU heavy scenarios?) from 7700k at 5 Ghz. 5GHz is very nice clock for 7700k.

I run it at 4.5Ghz and possibility of 10% better performance (2-3FPS max where Im limited by CPU) do not judge investment as it is not just CPU, but board and RAM.

 

I will wait for new generation, but I really do not expect new generations with higher IPC and single thread performance.
