Did you OC your 12900K? 13900K? I’m in a similar situation with my 12900K (5.2ghz) and wondering if I need to pull the trigger on the 13900k.

Thanks - that makes it easy, the TDS is the one for me. Appreciate it.

Wow, you guys sold me on this plane. Nothing like having a solid, capable plane to fly in MSFS. Recommendations on PMS50 vs the TDS GTNXi? Any major differences?

Yes.

For what it’s worth….Just bought a new PC a month ago i9 12900k EVGA 3080TI Lian Li 011 Case 32GB DDR5 6000 hz 1000w PS Lian Li SL120 fans Never have seen below 50 FPS (locked) using that exact same monitor running 3440 x 1440. I also overclocked to 5.2GHz and temps between 40-60 when using MSFS. All the normal payoff aircraft/scenery.

Fly Tampa Boston, Latin VFR FLL and Vegas (Flytampa).

Yes to payware scenery, no AI traffic, only AIG for Vatsim.

For what it’s worth, I’m getting 50+ FPS (locked) on the ground at JFK in the Fenix, running the cockpit displays on the integrated CPU graphics. 2K (3440x1440) with Ultra/High settings. 150 LOD Terrain. 100 Objects. 100 Render Scale. Now that graphics card prices are coming down, it made sense for me to invest in a new computer and what a great decision it has been so far.

I never understand some people and their perspective. PMDG and other developers keep this small hobby of ours alive and thriving - without third party developers working hard to bring these new add ons to life, our little hobby is done. Complain all you want but my attitude is appreciative of their efforts to keep things moving forward. You don’t like them? Fine don’t buy it but don’t complain and insult people that are making a difference in this hobby? What the hell are you doing to help this hobby? Rant over.

Quick update with the new EVGA GTX 570 SC - wow! you were right about the smoothness, definitely a big jump! Panning around the cockpit is much quicker now - leading me to consider Track IR now! Is there any hobby that isn't expensive!? Thanks for the help again - looks like this is a keeper.

Just placed an order for a EVGA GTX570 OC....let's see what happens!

Thanks Lenny - the 285 runs the new 737 well, but of course, any improvement is welcomed. I may be looking to make the jump soon, thanks for your input!

Hi Guys I'm looking to see if you could give me some advice as to if an upgrade to a GTX 560TI/570 would make a difference in terms of smoothness and overall performance on my machine. I'll be upgrading from a GTX 285, but I don't know how much of a difference it would be, with all things the same. See my specs below. Thanks for your help!

+1 . Thank you PMDG for keeping this hobby going and on the forefront of innovation!
