October 26, 20232 yr Hello all, I'd like to kindly ask for your advice here on my PC build. I already have ordered all the parts except the CPU. I went to an AM5 setup with a 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30. I'll use the PC mainly for X-Plane 12 and P3D and some productivity software. My doubt is what CPU I should look for? 7800X3D seems a good candidate but for $100 more I can get the 7900X3D which has a higher clock speed and more cores. I can also consider getting the 7900x or 7950x. 7950X3D is very expensive for me. My current GPU is a NVIDIA 3080. Probably will update the GPU in about 1 year. I'll be using 2k without any VR, 1 monitor only. Any advice would be much appreciated!
October 26, 20232 yr If it's for P3D then I would not get a X3D cpu. You'll be better off with the NON-3D cpu's with P3D, you will want raw clock speed, something like 7950X or 7900X or 7700X. However, I do not know how XPlane responds to the 3D vcache, so that is something you should look into. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
