oliver1234 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Afternoon all, As the title says. I'm currently struggling on choosing a new custom rig purely for P3D. Would it be better to get the i7 8700K or the i5 8600K with the GTX 1060 6GB? Also, would a better option be the i5 9600k/i7 9700k, given the difference is £5 for each? If there were to be a bottleneck, how much of a difference would going with the GTX 1070 instead of the 1060 cause? If possible I'd like to stick with the 1060 for budgeting reasons. I just don't want to spend ≈£1000 on a new system and have a GTX 1060 bottleneck the an i7 8700k/9700k, but I also don't want to be spending any more than what an i7 8700k/9700k + 1060 is worth. As we know P3D is still CPU heavy, so would a GTX 1060 instead of a GTX 1070 even make much of a difference? I would like to be able to run the PMDG NGX, Active Sky, ORBX Global and payware scenery for reference. Kind Regards, Oliver Mitchell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 What's your screen resolution? That is a huge factor since it directly determines how much work the GPU needs to do. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
