June 29, 20187 yr Commercial Member Just thought I would throw this out for feedback. You may have to jog your memory on this, ha! Have an Asus Sabertooth P67 motherboard (with an i7-2600k CPU), that after seven years or so may be starting to fail. So as a backup I bought an Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen 3 mb (actually found one new/factory sealed). Understand it has PCIe 3.0 on board but cannot utilize as I have a Sandy Bridge cpu. So for those who maybe went through this years ago or are really into hardware... do it think it is better to have my OC 2600k (I can reach 4.8GHz on air) and stay with PCIe 2.0 using my EVGA Geforce 1080 SC, or replace my Sandy Bridge with an Ivy Bridge PCIe 3.0 capable), and maybe not get as good an OC. I hear they did not OC as well and got hot. Guess I'm asking/curious which combo would get better overall performance for P3Dv4? Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!) Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11), EVGA 1300W PSUNetgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displaysFull array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.
June 29, 20187 yr PCIe v3 won't make any difference unless you're running something like triple or quad-SLI, as MSFS/P3D doesn't come anywhere near saturating the PCIe bus. Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge would be a pretty underwhelming upgrade, even at the same or even slightly higher clock speed.
