7950x3D shaping up to demolish the 13900k in MSFS

For our benefit, could you unlock your framerate and tell us whether you're CPU limited or GPU limited in your demanding areas? From your signature, you're running a 3080, correct? I think a lot of folks are still on the fence about upgrading to a 40 series card just yet, so this would be a great way to see an upgrade comparison CPU v GPU.

I had exactly the same PC spec like yours  (11900k-64gb-3090) and i could confirm with my new upgrade MSFS is ultra smooth with out any limitation.7950x3d looks killer but i am an Intel guy and 13900k is more than enough combined with 4090 in frame generation.

Just because my car has 400 HP doesn't mean i have to go full throttle the whole time.

You wouldn't be able to if you transferred what you do to your PC in to your car. Like buying a 400HP car and limiting it to 200HP.

Not sure why. They need to jump off that fence and get a 4 series ahead of a CPU upgrade, unless they're on some ancient CPU. As discussed, frame generation makes a WORLD of difference.

Not sure i get that. Both reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption. I dont limit my car, i just dont push it that much. And if i like to, the german Autobahn is my friend.

I never said you limited your car 🙂 

You are running 30hz with a 4090 and a 13900K? Boggles the mind.

Doesn't need to. Using MSFS i am completely happy with 30Hz. Why use more resources than needed? As said above all other games make full use of my system which is very enjoyable.

I agree 100% with Ian. Also even with unlimited FPS ( with out any limit/cap ) 4090 is on chilling-time with temps 40-50c, so you have a relaxed beast to give you as much fps and smoothens you want  in flight simulation.

What monitor you have? I tried 30fps on my setup and looks/feels really bad.

Its a 78" Samsung LED TV capable of 120Hz.

Edit: Addition: 30Hz on that screen looks and feels completely smooth. No Judders, Jiggles, tearings or whatsoever.

i guess you are not using frame generation. Because if you have this enabled, you could cap fps to 60 and have stable fps even on high demanding airports and aircrafts 

I just bought Dell Alienware AW3423DW Ultrawide QD-OLED HDR Curved Gaming Monitor and 30 fps looks very bad ( jerky with micro-stutters)

I am indeed not. Tried different settings and chose the one i was pleased the most with. 60 fps isnt thach much better than 30 imho (only apllies to MSFS of course). Sure it makes a difference but i opted for 30 fps and instead i use TLOD 400 and still get a smooth experience.

Its just my personal setting and decision. Each to his own i guess.

Yeah there seem to be differences but i am not an expert and sure don't know WHAT makes the difference here. All i can say is that on my Screen its absolutely smooth.

been in MSFS since 1995 and Ive literally never had a stutter free FS experience in all these years till recently. So if its not broke dont fix it. I spent 20 years tinkering w settings a .cfgs and could never get that holy grail experience till the last few builds on msfs.  I rather stutter free then slightly slower panning speeds. The other thing is the 3080 cant handle more, if I upgrade to a 4000 nvidia then frame gen would be cool , but Im just not paying 1500+ for 100FPS when 30 FPs smooth is good enough for ME. thank you for my ted talk

Think a 13900k with a 308 would be good for 4k? My i9-9900k is hurting big time now.

As i said twice i am not only playing MSFS. Red Dead Redemption in 4k @ 120Hz is quite nice. So is Cyberpunk. Hard to believe for some that there's more out there than just MSFS.
