Thanks for the reassurance. I went ahead and ordered an R9 280x. Should have the card some time next week. What do you mean benchmark the combo? Are you referring to a specific bench program?

Hello all! I've seen a few different posts about if running Prepar3d on multi-socket systems would have any better performance. However, all I've seemed to find was that the only answers deemed it "not worth the cost." Now, at work, we have spare server components unused (motherboards and processors are the only things we have laying around of value) and quite often use spare parts to build little hobby servers. Since I wouldn't be paying for the motherboard and two processors, all I would need to make a good investment in would be a decent graphics card. But before I sink $200 into a card, is it even worth it? Setting money completely aside, will P3D v3 make use of double-digit processors? And if it did, how much better would it run than compared to my i7 4790? Specs (would be) 2x Intel Xeon e5-2640 8-core w/ hyperthreading. 32 total cores seen by Windows 8GB DDR4 (pulling from a personal rig) Considering Radeon R9 280x Thanks for any input!
