October 31, 20205 yr Guys I need advice! Current set up is a 1070 / 4790k (slight overclock 4.2 / 32gb ram on a 27in 1080p monitor. I'm looking to purchase the new RX6800 on release and upgrade my monitor to a 31in 1440p. What I need advice on is will my CPU bottleneck me to such a degree that its not worth it? If it does, can anyone suggest a good cheaper alternative to the 4790K??
November 11, 20205 yr until they get the main thread handling optimized it likely will SAR Pilot. Flight Sim'ing since the beginning.

Am guessing that’s more or just as accurate in the task manager. After doing a fair amount of research this week I think am going to do a full upgrade. It’s been 5 years so I’ve got my money’s worth. Another question, anyone on a 4K tv might be able to confirm this but will a 50hz refresh rate be ok for MSFS? my new system am aiming for will be a 5600x / 6800xt with a 4K 43’ tv.

Likely doing the same but hoping for a 3080 card with more VRAM SAR Pilot. Flight Sim'ing since the beginning.

Guess will see on that.
November 16, 20205 yr Looks like the 6800XT is faster than the 3080 and slower than the 3090, so pretty much right in the middle of those two performance wise. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 96GB DDR5 | 4K G-Sync | Win11 Pro
