7950x3D shaping up to demolish the 13900k in MSFS

[odourboy 1,290]

The only benchmark that matters to me is the one that approximates my usage. My gut feel is that these new X3D CPUs beat the 13900k in all MSFS scenarios, but the advantage of the V core is diminished by higher resolutions, which tends to level the results. Take away is: don't expect the performance results to map linearly as resolution increases.

true, time and next week will tell. the main reason for me to change to AMD x3D, since this will be a gaming-only pc, was the 1/2 power requirements => air cooling = easier to cool. OVER clocking days are OVER for me. and just when we thought the 4090 was the kingpin, the first rumors of the 5090 showing another 2.3x performance increase. prepare for 200 fps and endless debates why 30 fps is all we need. 😃 My only hope is they finally offer also 2.3 x fps with FrameGeneration for VR @ => 70 - 80 fps, otherwise why bother. Jensen Huang knows that he needs to offer at least 2 x performance to pull another $ 2.000 from my wallet.
