    Hi everyone!

     

    I've just upgraded my RAM from 8GB to 16GB but....

    The new sticks clock higher (2133 vs 1600) but I was able to run the older @ 2133 CAS 11.

    Now If I stress test my setup (Prime) I get errors @2133 CAS 12.

     

    What's, in your opinion, the best option?

     

    1) Relax frequency or timings even more to get stable and upgrade the whole rig next year, with coffee lake maybe.

    or

    2) could be worth to buy another set of 2133 sticks and run them at CAS 9-10 (and maybe upgrade my CPU to i7 4790k)?

     

    Thanks in advance!

     

    My rig:

    i5 4690K@4300

    1 x Gskill F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR

    1 x F3-2133C9D-8GXL

    Nvidia 1070

    SSD

    Hi Alby, 

     

    I have a similar rig to yours (4790k & 1070) and I would say that what made the biggest difference for me was setting AM to 84. To be honest, 35 FPS is no jokes if you are able to maintain it. I would not call it bad at all.

     

    Cheers,

    Vincent

    I see... Switching to i7 4790k would help? This is the simplest and cheapest upgrade in my case...

     

    By the way I could also wait for P3D v4 (x64) and upgrade the whole rig (CPU-MB-RAM) next year.

    Your thoughts?

    Not CPU limited, you are limited by a 32bit application . I have Similar setup but with I7 6700K and 32 DDR4 Ram, still around 25-30 FPS with heavy aircraft and scenery and sometimes even OOM comes in to play. Thats why I love x-plane - Everything completly maxed out.

    What you need to do is tweak your P3D to your system according to your specific needs.

    How many fps?

     

    If I max out in x-plane 10 in crouded areas I get 20, otherwise 50.

    Hi everyone!


    My rig:


     


    4670K@4300 DDR3 Gskill Sniper 8GB 1600@2200 KFA2 (GALAX) 1070 EXOC SNIPER BLACK


     


    The performance is great where I'm in sparse scenery areas but if I try to fly e.g. New York i get no more than 35 FPS (almost every setting maxed out).


     


    What I don't understand is that the GPU doesn't go over 70% (usually sits at 50-60%) while my core0 stays at 100% (AffinityMask=15).


     


    It means I'm CPU limited? Otherwise I would expect higher FPS.


     


    Many thanks!
