April 29, 20206 yr So I'm going to throw this back out for another discussion. My current system has an Intel 6700k OC'd to 4.7.Asus z170-P MOBO, 6GB 3200 DDR4 Crucial RAM, 750 WT PSU and a EVGA GTX 1080FTW2 GPU. I have been looking at building a new system to facilitate P3dV5 and MSFS 2020. My thoughts were to buy a I7 9700k CPU and OC it to 4.7/4.9 and an Asus Z390 MOBO and bring my PSU/RAM/SSDs and GPU over to the new system. Would I be better to UPGRADE to an EVGA GTX1080ti and sell my current GPU or go for a new CPU and MOBO. I am reading the 2080 GPU are really not worth the extra cost. What would you do?

April 29, 20206 yr Just wait. New CPU and GPU coming soon. You have a really good system already. Actually your RAM is really low... consider 16GB unless that was a typo? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

The 10 series CPU's are going to be announced tomorrow, from the leak it looks like you will get a 9900k equivalent for a 9700k price with the 10700k. Should be available after may 20th. Then of course there is rocket lake slated for release at the end of the year which will be a departure from the 5 year old skylake architecture, I wonder if the new z490 chipset will support it.

I hope whatever is in this first P3dv5 Hotfix will also improve performance as well. ooops Edited April 29, 20206 yr by flynman33 Intel I7 6700 4.0 CPU Western Digital Caviar 1TB SATA 6.0Gb/s Hard Drive 16GB DDR4 Crucial RAM.
