Hello everybody, this is my first post and I am not a native speaker, so please be kind :-) I am planning to build up a gaming rig after years. One of the things, besides other games, I wanted to play is FSX (have a Gold Edition somewhere), now I learned that P3D is a better starting point if I start from scratch. As I am no finalizing my PC config (appr. 1000€/$), I have some questions regarding P3D: - GPU: In FSX times the advice was: Go for Nvidia, AMD/ATI was a no-go. Is this still true? (I somehow prefere the G9 390 8GB, but would change to a GTX970 if P3D would not run on it) -CPU: My original plan was to get a Xeon E3-1231v3 to save some money. No I am reading that an OC-i7 would be so much better as FSX/P3D is always maxing out one core. Is this still true in P3Dv3? And would the performance surplus justify the additonal 250 bucks for a 4790k+z-mobo? I know this is a though question, but how much is the difference? How can I imagine the difference (e.g. FHDvs4k)? Thanks and greetings from Germany, Jan PS: I am really looking forward to fly again. The rest of the rig should work fine, I hope (ssd, 16gb RAM,...)
