I used to do that, but, with current energy prices, increasing the sim rate during cruise is a very cost-effective and eco-friendly sin.

32GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance 5600MHz Memory Kit (2 x 16GB Sticks) The optimum memories for AM5 are DDR5-6000 CL30. The ones above are 5600MT CL36. Not sure what the difference would be on P3D, but it reaches 30+ fps in some games. Hard Drives: Seagate 1TB BarraCuda 7200RPM Hard Disk Your new MOBO supports up to 4 M2 drives. I am using 4 of those in my TUF board, imho the sweet spot in the Asus lineup, costing almost 200 Euros less than the ROG models. Any reasons why you are going with an HDD?

Regarding OCing the 7800X3D, here is an interesting article showcasing the attempts from a very experienced overclocker: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/7800x3d-overclocked-to-5-4-ghz In summary, he was only able to overclock the chip to 5.4Ghz and that after bypassing AMD's 5 GHz ceiling by using external clock generators to overclock the CPU cores. "To achieve 5.4GHz, SkatterBencher used a unique combination of multiple features, including the external clock generator, Precision Boost Overdrive, and AMD's Curve Optimizer to boost clock speeds." This seems like a huge amount of work. For us who value stability, going through all that hassle just to gain 400Mhz does not seem to be worth it.

So, I assume this is just an issue if ”down”grading from the 7950/7900X3D to the 7800X3D? Hopefully I don’t run into this going from the 7600X to the 7800X3D.

You can’t compare just clock speed. These new processors can accomplish much more, even though they are running at similar speeds. As for P3D, frankly, I am not sure. What I know is that, differently from the other sims, I am heavily CPU limited even when cruising. Perhaps you can find some earlier comparisons when the 5800X3D was released?

The huge amount of cache on the X3D chips makes them much harder to overclock. There is a significant clock delta between 7800X3D and the 7950X3D, but that is reserved to the CCD without the V-Cache. Don’t think it is worth it to put these expensive chips at risk, but I will keep my eyes open for videos from der8auer and similar OC YouTubers.

While this graph is quite interesting, I believe most of these mainstream reviewers just don't know how to properly test simulators. They are surely just flying around with a default aircraft at 10k feet over NYC without significant amounts of traffic. Therefore, the difference could be even bigger when using higher end add-ons on major hubs with lots of AI... This efficiency chart is also quite amazing:

But this is also correct...the 13900KS has a bit more L1 (measured in kb, not mb), same amount of L2 and much less L3 when compared to the X3D.

But there they show the correct figures: 7950X3D vs 13900K Cache L1: 1,024KB, L2: 16.0MB, L3: 128MB L1: 1,536KB, L2: 16.0MB, L3: 36MB

The reason I changed my 13700K for an AM5 rig is for the 100mb+ of cache. The only scenario on MSFS that I get 60 FPS is on major hubs with 100s of AI Aircraft. I expect this to change with the new CPU. That and also for some strategy games that I play...

But that's the thing, even though the 7600X is not the best CPU out there, I am currently experiencing 85% CPU usage during cruise with no AI traffic around! Not sure 7800X3D will be of much use on P3D, but once I get it sometime next week I will try a bunch of different scenarios on all 4 sims I have installed.

I have been doing some tests lately after switching to AM-5 and am getting around 40fps tops on cruise with the PMDG 747-8f, whereas on MSFS and (sometimes) XP12 I get triple digit FPS on similar scenarios. I will re-test once I get my 7800X3D, but currently my 4090 is sitting at 35% Core Load, even though there is nothing major going on during cruise for such a significant CPU bottle neck. Here is a pic showcasing FPS, GPU Load and PSXT (with 0 live air traffic):

Well, I can't really say what is the delta between the CL30 and CL32, but knowing that AM5 is very sensitive to RAM speed, I would rather save a bit on the Mobo and get better RAM. Is there any particular feature that is available on the ROG when compared to other models such as the TUF? At least here in Germany the difference between the two is about 200 Euros!

I got a TUF model, which seems more than enough for the 7800X3D and 32GB DDR-6000/CL30 initially, but will upgrade to 64GB down the road. It seems that using 4 memory slots is still a bit unstable on AM-5.

Seems I was lucky enough to get one. For anyone in Germany, Cyberport.de seems to still have them on stock.

Managed to grab one it seems. 🙂

Please stop the name calling. If you are comparing airplanes, perhaps try comparing something like the Felis 747-200 or the HotStart 650 with a similar aircraft that's available on P3D...good luck on that. Not sure in which world you are living on, but all of those developers have either released, or announced products for MSFS. PMDG has pretty much stopped supporting P3D. You really need to go out more... If you don't need anything further, what's the point discussing the future of the platform? There is still a handful of users happy with FS9 and FSX as well. Personally, I am quite interested in P3D's future and, being an open minded user of *all* simulator platforms, am hoping that V6 will bring something that can compete with the other offerings.

I am not your “dear” and I use all available flight simulators, not only MSFS. None of them have “unflyable flight models”, by the way. Seeing your videos on other topics, perhaps the problem is somewhere else.

That is the bare minimum expectation, I would say and would only be enough to push some V5 users to upgrade. It won’t bring anyone back.

This also annoys me to no end. Why doesn't XP just spawn a pushback truck if none are available? And why the heck does it say that none are available, just to send a truck anyway when I am in the middle of my reverse powered pushback? I always prefer to use native pushback solutions, as external plugins are always incompatible with specific planes that I use.

Big OLED TVs with VRR are currently the best option for MSFS, considering TAA/DLSS/FG support. I have different screens here, and always use my 48" OLED as my main screen and sometimes different monitors and tablets for secondary instruments, FMCs, etc. Even when using multiple screens, I am generally above 100fps and never below 60 with TAA and FG.

No registry hacks are needed if this tool is used: https://www.neuber.com/free/voicesinstaller/

Is this the A2A Comanche? If it is, I would say this kind of behaviour is much more related to the aircraft itself, than to the default FM of the sim. I'd suggest to wait until A2A releases their new Comanche in the next weeks and then compare both products directly.

The trick is to use FS-Chatter in conjunction with P2A. Then you are constantly hearing ATC recordings from the region you are flying in. Couple that with the voices that can be easily installed (no registry hacks needed if a proper tool is used), then the overall experience is very realistic. I was never a big fan of offline ATC programs, but P2A has really grown on me...

Another vote for Pilot2ATC.
