That seems low. I was getting frametimes cut down by at least 25% I think. But sure, only makes that difference if one was CPU-limited before and/or frames are uncapped.
Overall it made an EPIC difference in smoothness for me though, via the improved lows. Really really big difference in how it feels VS 7800x3D.
If that RAM module is sitting next to a 5090, itās completely normal 
Lol I get that also with RAM temps on HWinfo64.
Here is my personal experience with 7800x3D ā 9800x3D upgrade in the following secenario (4090, 64GB RAM, Crystal Original at native resolution 4312x5102 per eye, DLSS Performance, MSFS2024 SU2 beta, Dynamic Foveated Rendering, A2A Comanche, several apps running in the background, most settings on High, some on Ultra, some lower, TLOD 205).
With 7809x3D in MSFS 2024 pre-SU2 and pre-Foveated Rendering most of the time I was GPU limited. Foveated Rendering (Dynamic as I use Crystal Original with Eye Tracking) allowed some FPS increase but resulted in balancing between CPU and GPU limited (QuadViews puts some load on CPU while offloading GPU - the number of processed pixels drops in half).
Migrating to 9800x3D resulted in small (up to 10%, not always) FPS increase, but Iām most of the time (~60% of the time, outside dense scenery) again just GPU limited with some CPU headroom. Flying under scattered clouds, at 3500 ft (outside photogrammetry areas) Iām getting 45-50 FPS, at moderate complexity payware regional airports FPS drops to 30-40 FPS and sometimes the Rendering Thread (CPU) triggers balance of CPU/GPU limited but not nearly as often as it was with 7800x3D..
But all is now nicely smooth, so Iām happy with ~200 EUR of upgrade cost (the difference between buying 9800x3D and quickly selling 7800x3D). The upgrade process was easy, but required reapplying most of the BIOS settings on my Asus B650-PLUS WIFI motherboard (if you use BitLocker, you must pay attention to proper CPU replacement procedure, fortunately I donāt use it).
This upgrade brings no dramatic improvements, but adds smoothness, so if you can afford it without sacrifices, and have similar config to mine - I recommend it.
7800x3D served me well for nearly 2 years, there is still market to sell it at a decent price.
Hi stekusteku, thanks for your infoā¦I was just thinking on doing the same cpu upgrade.
My question isā¦I notice when arriving to airports some kind of little āstuttersā (probably loading scenery). Does the 9800x3d solve these stutters?
I feel its the CPU because monitoring the GPU I can see ālittle dropsā in utilization.
Thanks
This was pretty much my experience with similar specs but running higher res (more like 4900x and DLSS Balanced) . The increased smoothness alone was well worth the upgrade (only about 100 euro on top after resale) , the gained frames are nice too of course.
This could be trees/fauna/grass beein loaded. Try Fauna OFF, trees/grass/bushes LOW and share your feeling after that when landing.
I already had those settings as you saidā¦
Im always monitoring the GPU (4090) utilization and I can see how it drops when this happens, its like a very short sttuter.
I use 45 FPS locked (ASW) and its super smooth, so just a slight drop in fps (40ā¦) it breaks the smoothness
I also turn off air traffic (cpu hungry) and it does the same. So I dont know if its the SSD M.2 that loads data or the ethernet downloading data (1gb speed)
Perhaps this little sttuters while āloadingā data are imposible to solve?
