Hey All,
I have several times posted new computer system specs but never could quite justify to myself spending the money even when my accountant (wife) said go ahead. Does that make me cheap? Anyway my 12 year old computer is packing it in and I been on a tablet for near a month.
I pretty well know how to buy most parts as drives and video cards and such. My questions really come down to a couple issues.
How much CPU power is really needed for an enjoyable fsx experience? Is 3 ghz enuff? 4? 4.5? What? I know everyone will say it depends but assuming other good parts how much? Assume orbx level stuff. In your experience.
Where I am going with this is Ryzen 1600x 6 core at close to 4 ghz well 3.7 at least vs kabylake i5 7600 at 4 or a bit more. Is the difference really discernable?
I know fs and maybe farm simulator and the truck simulator I plan to buy are heavy single core based - well fs anyway. I know there is generally no replacement for displacement but how much is enuff?
So why ryzen well I also process photographs with capture one an like YouTube running and who knows what else. So using multithreaded Ryzen processors may be the ticket as Intel isn't even close to ryzen in mulithreading.
Also I am wondering if ryzen processors can surpass the apparent now (only a month after release) the 4 ghz wall they seem to be running into through updated bios and such.
Decisions decisions...
