Matching GPU


mega

Recommended Posts

I am using P3D v4.5.

CPU is an i7 9700K, 16Gb RAM DDR4 @ 3600 and a M.2 drive.

Currently using an old GTX 1060 with 6 GB video ram.

What is the best matching video card to use to avoid any bottle-necking?

My specs are similar, the i7 9700K is oc’d to 4.9, 32 GB Ram and a 2070 Super. I run P3D 4.5 and MSFS at 4K on a Samsung 55” QLED and the system works great.
Jetline GT2, 32 GB RAM, RTX 2070 Super, liquid cooled i7 9700K, 750 PSU, 2 TB SSD, MSFS 2020, P3D V4.5 and FSXSE.

Why are people making suggestions in the absence of data? For all we know the GPU could be the limiting factor. 5 minutes with NVI or GPU-Z will let him know for sure. And if the GPU is at 95%+ then overclocking the CPU won't do much beyond consume more power.

 

Cheers!

You do not need a better CPU, the one you have is fine.

 

What you need to do is to overclock it, so it runs at a clock rate above 4.5 GHz at least, instead of at 3.6 GHz.

 

Your bottleneck is the 3.6 GHZ clock rate.

Thank you Jorgen:)

How many monitors are you using?

And what is the resolution of those monitors?

 

Also run GPU-Z and HWMonitor while P3D is running, and look at Max GPU use to see how heavily your GPU was used while playing.

You don't need data to know that the CPU is the primary limiting factor.

Intel 10700K @ 5.0 Ghz, Asus Maxumus XII Hero MB, Noctua NH-U12A Cooler, Corsair Vengence Pro 32GB 3200Mhz, Geforce RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, and other good stuff.

I have the same CPU and am GPU limited with a 1070.

 

It's amazing how long people stumble around when they cannot do the basic data collection required to do proper troubleshooting.

I do know my rig (i5-8300H@3.4 GHz laptop, GTX1050) is CPU limited, because its usage is frequently pegged at 100% (I can see this using MSI Afterburner).

 

However, how do I know how much should I overclock (or which CPU should I purchase) in order to balance usages?
