linkinpark2176 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hello all, I'm know this question has been asked a ton of times, but looking specifically at this computer. Does anyone know if I would get good frames with add-ons running P3D on this? I'm trying to make the move from FS9; Money isn't really an issue, but I don't want to go overboard if I don't have to. Thank you http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883102060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutch Cargo Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Two suggestions: 1. Upgrade the CPU to an I-7 capable of overclocking over 4GHz. 2. Get a display capable of running at 30KHz as well as 60KHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Welcome to the forum(s). Buying a new computer is always a tough decision time. I'd recommend a little change and ask that you consider this option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883102107 . The upgrade of the CPU is significant. While only 10% more speed, the performance overall will be much better. Plus they toss-in a 120GB SSD. And it's only $100 more than the one you've listed. Here's my general advice for a P3D computer in case you want to look at other options as well. CPU - either a 6700K or a 4790K. FSX/P3D, being single-threaded, loves them both. GPU - GTX970. The 980 is way more money and will gain you nothing in FSX/P3D. Forget about the 1080's as they are just way to much overkill. RAM - 8GB will work just fine. More, however, is always better. PSU - 600W minimum and a good-quality name brand. Don't skimp here. Luck.....

alexzar14 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'd wait for Kaby lake CPU couple more month, spending $200 on any CPU right now is a waste of money. Anybody wants to comment on upcoming Kaby lake 4.0 GHz and what progress could be expected out of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Kaby Lake is all about PC manufacturing and marketing. The only reason Intel is producing it is to pacify Dell, HP, etc. There are no significant differences over Skylake as far as FSX/P3D are concerned. Waiting for any breakthrough in CPU technology is a never-ending game. Were it I, I'd go for the new box now and not worry about what Intel is doing. You'll never notice a difference.

alexzar14 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 How is it compared to 4790k LGA1150? I will try getting to the point: the few annoying places where you get 17 fps in P3D with 4790k (New York, and one or two more places, however much more places where you get 20fps) - in those instances, will Kaby Lake help me with at least 2-3 additional frames? That's all we need because we are near the border line, 17 fps is fakaktish-bad, but 20 over New York will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
