Ah I see …so I guess 93840x2160 was a mistake
I agree with mjbn, 1440p woud be better. Or 4k DLSS (quality) if the instuments aren’t too blurry (that depends on your monitor as much as anything else).
However I particularly like 2880x1620 with DLSS (quality) as it scales down to my 32" HDTV’s native 1080p. Much nicer than 1080p DLSS + DAA with about the same fps.
Your mistake ^^^ but anyway 65" … yeah I would imagine you want to use TAA. When I get the chance my 55" UHTV looks better with it but I’m flying gliders in circles, fps is more important.
Max Resolution (HDMI) - 4096 x 2160@60Hz (4K)
Max Resolution (DP) - - - 7680 x 4320@60Hz (almost 8K)
Max Resolution is the maximum resolution supported by the processor via the HDMI or DP interface (24bits per pixel & 60Hz).
System or device display resolution is dependent on multiple system design factors. Actual resolution may be lower on your system.
Anytime. I cant say the same for sure but I can from what I am reading, they are very close with some reports saying the 3XD winning and others with the i7 winning. Either way, I’m happy. Im looking at a Dubai Intl running with 100% AIG at 45-50 frames in 4K. My sweet spot seems to be running it at 5.6. The temp is about 60 C under full load.
I love it that you one of the early adopters of this new video card from Intel. I really dig the idea of a another manufacturer entering the graphics card market. Can only help prices and technological advancement going forward. See how AMD kicked Intel’s butt when it comes to CPUs and it made them getting off their butts and make finally something different than Skylake refreshes…so, my respect to you for being an early adopter supporting the ARK platform.
According to what I read in reviews and videos from Gamers Nexus, Jays2cent and Pauls Hardware, heat is not a problem as long as you using a good heater (even air, I will go with Dark Rock Pro 4) during gaming. They run hot when you do rendering stuff or heavy benchmarks, where all cores go 100%, but then they just throttle down by 0.1 or 0.2 Mhz and than temps get better, but gaming should be fine. The CPUs now are highly optimized. Even AMD7900 series runs very hot.
I decided to go with the DDR5. It might not absolutely necessary, but prices are not super crazy. Well, for Flight Simulator we need 32 gigs. I went with the Corsair Vengeance 32GB 5600Mhz. Its low profile RAM (need that because of the Dark Rock Pro 4) and was not stupid expensive. I think I paid with $162. You might find cheaper rated DDR5 (around $100 for 32GB) but I wanted to go with something faster. Everything over 6000MHz was getting too expensive (over $200 for the 32GB).
But you can also stick with the DDR4, without loosing too much. Up to you. Either way is fine…
With DDR4 3600 MT/s and CL16 I would probably stick with DDR4. And then you can even go for a Z690 mainboard instead, just make sure you get one with BIOS flashback
There are some reviews showing that compared to DDR5, you will lose about 2-3% of performance using DDR4 3600 MT/s CL14, so with CL16 you might loose another 1-2%.
Personally, I loose about 5-8% with my 13600K paired with 3200 MT/s CL14 DDR4 RAM on a Z690 mainboard compared to a 13600K paired with DDR5 RAM, according to 3DMark Time Spy CPU scores.
In any case, as the LGA 1700 socket is already EOL, I decided against spending more money than “necessary”, most probably I will switch again next summer to a Ryzen 7800X3D build. Depending on what kind of DDR5 works best with this CPU, I would anyway have needed to rebuy the DDR5 RAM again, so I decided to keep the one I already have.
In the end it comes down how often you switch processors. I tend to use mine for many years (about 5 or so). Only then you really see performance bumps that a worth the money. Others like to always have the latest CPU in their case…doing small performance gains and paying an annul or semi annual geek tax (that is how I call it). I’m kinda guilty of that a little bit…mostly with video cards (tend to buy more performance than I actually need).
This time around with my processor upgrade I paid my geek tax in form of the DDR5 ram that I technically not really needed…
Here a quick update. This weekend I upgraded my computer and installed the new CPU (13700k), DDR5 and new motherboard. I finally were able to do some testing around in Flight Simulator. Still using my old RTX 2080 card. In FBW32X and with FSLTL injector, at KEWR and KBOS I am getting now around 50s on the ground. With no noticeable major stutters. In the air I get over 60s fps. CPU temps are good, around higher 60s C. I am on air cooler…but a big one. Before the upgrade I had around low to mid 30s on the ground at those conditions and airports. Have to do some more testing. Want to see how performance at KLAX is…
By the way, what is really much faster with this new CPU is the compiling of the FBW32x and the PMDG 737 after an update. Like only a third of the time it used to take…seems like there the multicore power comes to play big time…
Finally received my 4090 today. Hadn’t been able to try msfs for a few weeks due to travel. I think I finally reached my goal. Taxiing around LAX with 100% AIG traffic and no stutters at all. Everything on full including TLOD at 400. GPU memory topping out at 21 GB. The visual boost from a 3080 to 4090 is noticeable but the smoothness is what I was looking for. I’ll try a few test flights tomorrow.
