Where would you spend $$$...new CPU or a GPU water block?

I completely understand what you are trying to say. This will come up again and again.

Flight sims are extremely complicated and do a lot all at once. I am happy that both MSFS and X-Plane have improved their multi core support, but it still needs improving.

Someday we will have better utilization, but I’ve heard that promise before. I do believe that if anyone will achieve it, it will most likely be Asobo.
