April 22, 20206 yr Well, I'm set on specs. I literally just built a new PC yesterday with a Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2080. Bring it on! I'm ready! 😁 Microsoft Flight Simulator | Ryzen 9 5900X | MSI MEG X570 ACE | 32 GB DDR4 | Geforce RTX 3080 | Samsung Evo 970 M.2 | Dual 1440p screen | Win 10 Pro Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke | Honeycomb Bravo Throttle | Thrust master TPR Rudder Pedals | HP Reverb G2
April 22, 20206 yr Next up, an NVidia MSFS game ready driver.🤸♂️..talking about save the date...the end of time...😂
April 22, 20206 yr I just googled an 9800X processor. I never even heard about it before (not too uptodate with PC components). The 9800X looks to be an 8 core (with HT -16 threads) with a 3.80 GHz base frequency, and a max turbo frequency of 4.40 GHz. I thought the "x" was a server CPU. Can anyone explain to me why they suggested this X CPU as ideal, and not a "k" CPU like a i9-9900k. What the advantage of an X over a K would be? Is it because the X has a .20 GHz higher base frequency than the K (3.80 GHz for the x and 3.60 GHz for the K). The max frequency of the K is possible higher up to 5 GHz if the cooling is very good. And if more cores are better, than maybe the higher core count of AMD would be better? Would it be better to wait for the i9-10900K with a turbo possibly up to 5.3 GHz? or get more cores with an AMD CPU at a lower base frequency? Thanks in advance.

April 22, 20206 yr If I was rebuilding right now, I'd be with a 3900/3950X no doubt. I'd also be broke. P3Dv4 + XP11 MFS

Is "K" newer than "X", or is "X" the latest and greatest? A.

April 22, 20206 yr Seems lower than P5D then.... Mine already set between Recomanded and ideal. But who knows when ORBX,FT,PMDG,FSL,etc.. joined the party....

It seems like my educated guess of going AMD might have paid off, I went for the 3800x because of the higher base clock of 3.9 and boost of 4.5, the base clock might be particularly important, time will tell, I just need somehow to sneak a 2070s/3070 into my build without the wife suspecting where £500/600 has gone out of the bank account.
