January 24, 20215 yr I am running a AMD FX-4300/4-core with 16GB/DDR3 and GTX-1070/8GB. I converted to Vulkan recently but now see that the CPU is always running at 70-75% standing on the runway (example C172) . I am driving 3 (1920x1080) HDMI or DP screens (Main and 2 popouts for GNS430+530) Should it be this high? 2. Is a CPU upgrade (30% possible with a FX6350/6 core) worth it? This is the max that the AM3+ socket supports 3. Or is is time for an update to AM4 (say Ryzen7/8-core?) What do the Nerds have to say / recommend? Particularly in respect of the work-in-progress at Laminar to make more use of multicores after the change from OpenGL to Vulcan
January 25, 20215 yr Sorry, I don't have X-Plane, but I do want to welcome you to Avsim. We do have an active X-Plane forum here, you might try posting your question in the X-Plane forum.. My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
January 27, 20215 yr Have exactly the same CPU , you need to upgrade right now. Either Intel or AMD Ryzen 5xxx series, your CPU can't cope up with your GPU, and AM3+ supports max of 8 core 8xxx . Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
