April 5, 20206 yr Hello guyz, So I am in a bit of a doubt here. I am trying to get p3dv4.5 as smooth as I can, but I don't seem to succeed in it. My specs: Windows 7 ultimate 64bit AMD FX-8320 Eight core processor 4.32 Ghz OC'd 16GB DDR memory GTX -1060 6GB 1000GB HDD Harddrive I cannot get more than 20 fps in a PMDG 737 NGxu, the wingview goes up to 40 fps which looks nice.. Do you think this is normal? Maybe it is.. If someone knows more about it, it is much appreciated. Thanks & Take care, Karim
April 5, 20206 yr Yep, from this old FX processor, it is probably the most you get without lowering the settings even further. Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024
April 5, 20206 yr Your processor is too weak for this graphic card. AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 15.64% of bottleneck. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck.

April 5, 20206 yr Author Okay guys, thank you for the quick response! I will try to search what suits best with that card
April 6, 20206 yr Just be aware that replacing this CPU most probably results in buying also new RAM, a new mainboard and ideally also a new PSU... Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024
April 7, 20206 yr Author Hi, I already installed a new mainboard a year or two ago, im gonna go for AMD fx-9370 CPU (it was the only one avail on AM3+ socket (old) , with my GTX 1060 6GB and 16GB RAM. The cpu/gpu combi gave a good score on pc-builds.com and not much bottleneck. I think it can improve the quality of the game just a little bit.. Do you agree? Greetz
April 7, 20206 yr No, I do not agree. This FX processor is equally old and basically a heater, you might run into troubles cooling this CPU. Either replace everything with something up to date or lower the settings. Greetings, Chris AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 2x32GB DDR5 6000MT/s RAM, MSI RTX 4090 Ventus 3X, Windows 11 Home, MSFS2024
April 7, 20206 yr Author Haha okay thanks! They even cancelled my order because they don't have that anymore 😂 Im gonna try to put a new desktop together by myself for p3d then, I want the sliders to the right as far as possible.. I think I will go for AMD mainboard, they make good products imo.. Something like: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, Geforce RTX 2070 Super Thanks again for your support Something else, I changed a monitor (Samsung S24B150BL LED 60Hz) from 24'' to 32'' (LED TV TX-32DS500B) Screen resolution 1,366 (W) x 768 (H) how can I get my screen as clear as possible? What settings can I change in P3D and tv-settings? Tnx!

Seriously, read some review and stop thinking about buying old stuff ;-) Either go for an AMD Ryzen 3700X, 3800X or if the budget allows, for a 3900X. If you have to closely watch the budget, you might consider a 3600X and not an X570 mobo but one of the earlier generation (there, old is ok ;-)). Might be worth coming back here to ask if your intended upgrade is ok, it would really be a pity if you waste your money for buying the wrong stuff...
