Wow, what a difference

[cianpars]

Just swapped out my Ryzen 2700 for a 5600x and what a big surprise. On the RWY at UK2000 EGGD I was getting 15-17 FPS and now getting 32-33. At Mark Taylors Bristol City scenery I was struggling at 5-6 and I'm now getting in the 20s. The sim as smooth as silk and my settings are completely maxed out. I knew that my system was CPU bound, but it's simply rocking with this £300 upgrade.

 

I will check it out over countryside and in a few other settings later, but I'm blown away ATM.

Nearly did the same thing getting the 2700 out. I forgot to warm up the PC and the CPU lifted out with the cooler. I thought some pins might go, but got lucky for a change.

This is going to be a dumb question but HOW are you guys determining if you are either CPU or GPU deficient in MSFS? I get decent performance with my PC now and I think it is probably pretty balanced but it wouldn't hurt to check, I guess.

Use MSI with Riva Tuner statistics server.

Benchmark test should tell you where your bottlenecks are if any... and more accurate than a guess...

After I posted my question I did some looking in what the ATI app does that is installed with the video driver. It will show the CPU and GPU load so I will take a look there next time I load up MSFS. Thanks for the answers anyway.

Just ordered an M.2 1TB solid state drive to compliment this rig and clone my 250 GB SSD containing MSFS onto it. I wonder how much effect that is going to have on performance and loading times - it will be interesting, I'm sure. Anyone else switched to M.2 noticed much difference?

Didn't lose much on the old 2700. Paid £136 for it a while back and sold it for £130 on Gumtree this morning. Tech prices are completely mad, aren't they? Edited December 31, 2020 by cianpars
