Graphics and FPS are worse than in MS2020. Apparently, I will have to wait a long time, as what I have read from users with powerful GPUs and CPUs is discouraging. Maybe when the new GeForce 5000 series comes out... I don't know But what CPU? I think this is the question. Greetings Go for a AMD, i was years on Intel and was lucky and tought nothing can beat Intel. But seems i was wrong, my NEW Rig i build at August this year ( see my specs ) is a bomer and I don't regret this decision in any way, quite the opposite.. cheers 😉 Edited November 27, 20241 yr by pmplayer 08.2024 new PC is online : ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Prozessor, G.Skill DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) Dual-Kit, MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X E 24G OC Grafikkarte, 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4 TB - Drive C+D, WD Gold Enterprise Class 12 TB for storage HDD, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000W PC - Power supply, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Aircooler with 7 Heatpipes, Design Meshify 2 White TG Clear Tint Tower-Case, 3x 4K monitors 2x32 Samsung 1x27 LG 3840x2160, Windows11 Prof. 23H2 - now Windows11 Prof. 25H2 Flightsimulator Hardware: Honeycomb Throttle Bravo, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech Flight Joke System, XBox Controller, some Thrustmaster stuff, Winwing CDU Panels.

I was certainly considering that possibility. Cheers

Hence, the reason to jump into MSFS 2024 now, find out if you need an upgrade and buy when pricing is at its lowest for computers. Black Friday has almost no effect on high end PC prices. How many deals do you see on RTX 4090 cards? How many deals on Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs? Post Links! My favorite builder Velocity Micro has $150 off of high end systems for black friday. You will save much more by waiting for upcoming RTX and Ryzen releases which will drop prices on whats best now. Not to mention nobody really knows yet what the most cost effective system is for FS2024.

You will save much more by waiting for upcoming RTX and Ryzen releases which will drop prices on whats best now. Not to mention nobody really knows yet what the most cost-effective system is for FS2024. Thank you. You actually aroused my curiosity. So I did a reality check and priced it out. I wanted to test the assumption that one can save by building one's own PC. I think I found the Velocity Micro system you are referring to that has a $150 off. Is it this one? The price is $2,149. The Raptor Z95 (Customize Your Raptor™ Z95- Velocity Micro)? Check out the comparison of a compatible system below for $1570. I suspect the price difference will be pretty consistent when comparing other pre-built vs. do-it-yourself systems. Personally, I understand why vendors charge more. They have fixed costs and have to pay for labor, rent, and tech support. I don't mind paying for them if I don't feel like building my own. (I don't mind paying my share and help stimulate the economy). 🙂 Please let me know if I'm missing something. Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space. Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

I wanted to test the assumption that one can save by building one's own… Please let me know if I'm missing something. You completely missed what I said. Your statement that you should buy a pc now because of black friday didn’t make sense to me, and I asked if you could provide any links to Black Friday discounts on RTX4090 graphics cards or Ryzen 9800X3D CPUs since these are the #1 parts for a new pc for MSFS2024. Instead you provide proof that it’s cheaper to build your own pc. I am well aware of that, I saved almost $1k building my last one. Edited November 27, 20241 yr by desbean
