October 27, 20178 yr Currently running i7-3770k OC at 4.5GHz with HT ON. And GTX 1080 FTW 8GB and 32GB Ram. Would upgrading my CPU to i7-7700/8700 make a big difference to me in terms of performance in P3D v4.1?

October 27, 20178 yr Moderator No. There will be a difference but not a BIG difference. A few more FPS and maybe a little smoother depending on how far you clock the 7700. as to the 8700 - this may help..... http://www.simforums.com/forums/considering-upgrading-to-8700k_topic59112.html Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
October 27, 20178 yr I was thinking the same, have a I7 2600K @ 4.4ghz, with a EVGA 580GTX, decided after a lot of reading that a new processor (plus motherboard, faster ram etc ) was not "necessary" so I upgrade the gpu to a EVGA 1070GTX, it increase my frame rate by 50% in FSX and 20-30% in P3D v4 but also a lot more stable,locked at 30fps Alain from Montreal
October 27, 20178 yr It is a good move just to reset your platform. bs AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER
October 27, 20178 yr I went from 3770 to 7700. 3770 ran locked at 30 frames averaged about 29, 7700 I OC'ed to 4.7 ghz and run unlimited average frames 48. 3770 ran better with frames locked, turns out that 7700 runs best at unlimited. 3770 I had to run with AM (don't remember what it was) and the 7700 runs rather smooth with no AM. *forgot to mention the 3770 ran a 960 TI 4 gig, and when I went to 7700 build, it is using a 1060 6 gig, so that accounts for some of the advance in fps. 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
