Running a SAMSUNG MONITOR 78” at 4k

Can someone please confirm that HT - Hyperthreading actually boosts your performance? Has anyone been successful? 

Because I’ve actually gained smoothness with this enabled

+1.

Much smoother and better performance with my ancient 2600K.

I gotta ask....how does your 2600k still perform?

Just curious. I upgraded from a 2700k to an 8700k 3 years ago. I was thinking about my old PC this morning and wondering how it would handle the new sim.

It's still hanging tough. I upgraded the RAM to 32 (2133) along with a Titan (Pascal) and SSDs.

P3D v4.5 works great!

MSFS is much better now with HT enabled. As long as I stick with small GA and mid to high settings it's playable, but I need a new CPU ASAP. Even accessing the MSFS menus is sluggish.

Sounds like is scales reasonably well for how old it is. It's crazy how long these things hold on!

I'm running it as well on a 2600K with only a 3GB GTX1060 and 16 meg at 1080p.  I am surprised how well it runs at medium settings.  Waiting to pull a trigger on a new system once the 3000 series appears and hopefully AMD announces the Ryzen Zen 3 series -really wanting to see whether it is worth it to go AMD or pursue an i9-10850 or 10900K.

Also running on a 10 year old i7-2600k @ 3.5gig with 16gb RAM and a 1660 gpu. It runs very well indeed on Medium but a bit edgy on High. Surprisingly good performance with 30-40fps most of the time in GAs on Medium..

Obviously it'll never keep up once we get PMDGs and detailed airports but I'm happily chugging around on Vatsim for the moment and going through the MSFS learning curve before speccing a new beast for the future.

2600k is probably one of history’s greatest gaming chips.

It’s sluggish on a 9900 too, it needs some work.

Agree. The cockroach of the gaming world. Would survive a Nuke.

Interesting. The videos that I've seen on YT show smooth transitions from menu to menu. I experience a slight pause before the transition. The other one is also sluggish is when you go from cockpit cam to external. The external gauges take a sec to pop up. In the YT videos I've watched the gauges seem to appear a bit faster.

I'm on SSDs. Just wondering if M2 drivers perform better?

Update: Just to a look at CPU benchmarks and the i7 2600K had a score of 1731. The new 10900K has a score of 3182.

I am using an m.2 too. The menu could be way more responsive..... 

I just switched over to hyperthreading, after having it turned off on my 5GHz overclocked 8086 for several years. Decided to change to 4.9GHz to limit heat.

Got to say: HT certainly has its advantages. It especially shines in CPU-demanding situations. I could see the benefits sitting at a gate at EDDF in the A320 with multiplayer on.

So is the i7-975 and 980 4 Extreme.  Intel named the series Extreme for a reason! 🙂  It's killing MSFS on Ultra.  MSFS is basically written for a 4 core (DX11).

I use a 2600k on a second PC overclocker at 5.1 Ghz for 9 years without problem.
Some time ago in an article, INTEL had announced that their 2600k was the best processor it’s ever made.
