After 2 months I knocked up a rough and ready YouTube video to share my experience on the upgrade 🙂

I have the 7800x3d with the amd 7900xt(20 gig) and I'm pretty happy with it. The 4090 was definitely of interest but a lot more coin for a retired guy.

The 7800x3d is certainly a stellar piece of kit.

Interesting, your in-sim settings are almost identical to mine.  Except I have Glass Cockpit Refresh at "Low", but that could be a case of old-habits-die-hard as that's the setting I used with my 8700K

Sometimes I find myself being really conservative with settings even though, I don't really have to be now.

I just hope SU13 will not upset the apple cart in any way.  😁

I finally got my new rig. Specs: 7800x3D, RTX 4090, 32gb DDR 5 6000, two 2gb NVME drives. For those interested in how this hardware combination handles AI traffic, addon airports/landmark addons etc. this might help. I tested the PMDG 737-600 with a ton of addons doing a full circuit of MK Studio's EIDW (full list in video description). 

P.S. Don't judge my flying skills, my joystick isn't set up yet!

Hope you enjoy your new rig as much as I have!  Absolutely pleasure to fly now in pretty much all scenarios!!
