December 30, 20223 yr If I wanted to upgrade, keep things reasonably inexpensive, up my MSFS performance, what route would you take. My current rig is below. It runs the sim ok, although I get freezes that I cannot pinpoint to a hardware issue so I’m not even sure that’s the cause. I can get 30fps on mid setting with LOD of 100-150. Current rig: i5-6600k, gtx 2060 super, 32gb ddr4 2133, sata 6gb/s hdd. Thinking of doing a new mobo and processor but keeping the ram and video card (upgrade vid card later), and going to 2 m.2 hdd. Was thinking an i5-13600 and an asus z790 plus mobo, along with 2 2tb m.2 2280 SSD drives. Could I expect some improved performance out of the above? It would keep the cost around $900 and I could upgrade the video card as funds allow. My ram is the lowest spec the board will take so that’s a good savings. Would you go with the above or make a different choice? and why? Thank you all for the feedback!!!
December 31, 20223 yr I just upgraded to a AMD 5800X3D from an i9 10980XE. The performance improvement is phenomenal. With no settings changed some at Ultra with most being set to High in the same scenario such as the ini builds Heathrow I am getting 60fps in heavy rain and cloud cover (clouds set to ultra) in the PMDG 737. With the 10980XE I was lucky to get 27fps in that scenario. Even with FSLTL at pretty high settings I am still able to get a stable 40 - 44fps. My old CPU would have been dropped to its knees at around 12 - 15fps. The upgrade was fairly easy to do, its just time consuming rebuilding your computer but well worth it. I just finished the upgrade today. Edited December 31, 20223 yr by shamrockflyer
