Every time I read a thread about upgrading a CPU and the challenges, I cringe, and want to stay right where I am. 😀 Hehe I definitely did have to overcome some installation challenges with Windows and the sim as you read. I spent about 2200 USD (so far lol....a video card will definitely bring that near the 3k range if I can ever find one for MSRP). Keep in mind though that it was an entirely new build with new SSDs, new case, Windows 11 etc. If you just do the cpu/mobo/ram I think you get could away with my same system for about a thousand bucks. You could even go ddr4 and save a bit too. I'm not sure if this faster ddr5 ram is doing anything but I didn't want "old" ddr4 for a brand new build. | 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 |

DDR5 means "next to nothing in MSFS" according to Hardware Unboxed tests, zero benefit at 4K, less the higher the resolution. investing in better GPUs means most bang for the buck, which is consistent with what Asobo has been saying since day 1: Edited March 7, 20224 yr by turbomax AMD 7800X3D, Windows 11, Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX Motherboard, 64GB DDR5 G.SKILL Trident Z5 NEO RGB (AMD Expo), RTX 4090, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 2 TB PCIe 4.0, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 1 TB PCIe 4.0, 4K resolution 50" TV @60Hz, VR: Pimax Crystal Light + HP Reverb G2 @ 90 Hz, Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, be quiet 1000W PSU, Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black air cooler. 60-130 fps. no CPU overclocking. very nice.

The screenshot flight was pretty smooth...a few minor stutters here and there. Glad its working for you Ryan. Dropping the LOD down to say 200-250 will help smooth it out a lot. 400 is very demanding.

March 7, 20224 yr Ryan, When you reinstalled, please tell me that you located it to a non-stock locations (ex: c:\games\msfs) and not at the default location. That along with Addon Linker will save you more trouble and headaches in the future.
