December 4, 20187 yr Have my 9600K up and running. Haven't done a complete flight yet, just short tests. Strange phenomenon: CPU utilization is much lower (50 %, down from 90), but FPS are hardly higher. Gotta look into that.

December 5, 20187 yr Author I have my 9600k up ang going. It is hard to give an accurate judgment on performance over the 7700k since I installed 4.4 at the same time. So some of the improvements could be from that. Definitely better scenery loading. I can run FFTF=0.01 and have no blurry scenery issues. Frames are up and more consistent. Flying into FSDT KLAX used to be around 26-27 FPS now it will hold a steady 30fps. So it could be the upgrades or the newer version of P3d. Hard to say but definitely happy with the upgrade.

December 5, 20187 yr Same here too. Got the 9700k up and running. 5ghz all cores. Not all addons are on yet but most of them, and so far the experience is pleasing. I did gain a little fps but more importantly, its way more smoother and can hold 30 very well if I lock it there. The previous 6700k had trouble occasionally to do that. Wasnt expecting a huge jump in fps, especially my bottleneck is now the GPU but having it smoother is a much better experience. The only noticeable detriment is the long frames I get in heavy areas, and even pauses and stutters but I think that goes for just about any machine, and has to do more with coping with all the scenery layers in heavy areas.

What vcore do u have for the overclock? My 9600K hits a brick wall past 4.9ghz. Matt Wilson

You could just have a silicon lottery issue, or perhaps depends on the VRM on your MB. CYVR LSZH I7-14700k 64gb 6000Mhz DDR5 ASUS z690 ROG STRIX Gaming RTX 4080 Super,
