MBKHOU Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I doubt you will see much difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnost Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Only if you overclock. I am running an I7 960 with a 20% OC at 3.8 Ghz and no problems. You may be able to get 4.0 Ghz from the 970.

Soar 21 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 How about i5 2500k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBKHOU Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 How about i5 2500k Newer chip and a little bit better than the 970. But you need to overclock it for it to live up to it's potential, and make the switch halfway worth the trouble. Clocked up to over 4 ghz, it's fairly decent even these days. And being a "k" cpu, it should be fairly easy. FSX is largely single thread, and a clocked up newer version i5 is no slouch for FSX. The i5 4690k I think it is, "i5 devils canyon", clocked up can be quite stout for FSX. Or should anyway, according to the specs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrussell Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I built my current computer using a i5-2500k clocked to 4.5 on air with a Coolermaster Hyper 212. It's been humming along for 3 years with no problems.
