April 28, 20233 yr Looking to upgrade my machine due to a power issue. Anyway I currently have a 2060Super and AMD3600X, 16GB RAM and only sim in 1080 for now. I’ve been given a quote which is just on budget and it includes a 4070 GPU and 5700X CPU… Am I better off keeping 2060 for now and putting coin into a better CPU or what should I do?? Remembering this is currently on a budget maybe slight over so a 4090 is out of the question
April 28, 20233 yr Because the 4000 series of Nvidia cards has Frame Generation, I'd personally go with the improved graphics card. Processor: Intel i9-13900KF 5.8GHz 24-Core, Graphics Processor: Nvidia RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6, System Memory: 64GB High Performance DDR5 SDRAM 5600MHz, Operating System: Windows 11 Home Edition, Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX, LGA 1700, CPU Cooling: Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling, RGB and LCD Display, Chassis Fans: Corsair Low Decibel, Addressable RGB Fans, Power Supply: Corsair HX1000i Fully Modular Ultra-Low-Noise Platinum ATX 1000 Watt, Primary Storage: 2TB Samsung Gen 4 NVMe SSD, Secondary Storage: 1TB Samsung Gen 4 NVMe SSD, VR Headset: Meta Quest 2, Primary Display: SONY 4K Bravia 75-inch, 2nd Display: SONY 4K Bravia 43-inch, 3rd Display: Vizio 28-inch, 1920x1080. Controller: Xbox Controller attached to PC via USB.
April 28, 20233 yr What sim are you using? If P3D frame generation doesn't provide the same performance as in MSFS2020.

April 28, 20233 yr Just keep in mind that FPS isn't the Holy Grail. A balanced machine (both in the hardware department as well as your sim settings) is the best way to go and as long as your performance is smooth you will not have issues due to slightly lower fps rates (unless you are an fps chaser). It's quite subjective. Research is the key especially since you are budget limited just as I was.

One thing, you might check and see if you can get a 5800X3D cpu instead. It shouldn't be much more than the 5700X but it will perform a lot better in MSFS. It would be worth the extra $$$. Also, a 4070 gets you into Frame Generation as was said. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
April 30, 20233 yr Author Thanks for the replies, 5800X or 5800X3D? The X has faster clock speed and turbo speed... same cores etc... not sure why the X3D ranks slightly better and if that makes a difference to MSFS? Edited 11 hours ago by NZAA
