August 5, 2025Aug 5 Hello. I'm upgrading building a new PC, nothing fancy, just a humble PC spec. There are so many reviews and benchmark sites out there. So when you guys are looking at new CPUs or GPUs, where do you usually go for reliable info? Actually, MSFS 2020/2024 can be a powerful benchmarking platform due to its AAA nature. And does anyone use Intel Arc GPU?

August 5, 2025Aug 5 Until some months ago, I used to trust Passmark. These are the values I check: CPU: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php GPU: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php However, the values there don't explain why did I get a single-core performance improvement going from a 5600X to a 5700X3D (numbers say I would be downgrading actually), or from a 3060Ti 8 GB to a 5060Ti 16 GB.
