jackd Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Hi. Got a DDR5 MSI Edge 790 (not the i version) Was just wondering if upgrading my CPU from a i9-12900K to a 14900K or KF is worth it. Test sites show about 12% general speed improvement. 24 cores versus 16 on the 12900K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71st_Mastiff Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I’m on the i9-14900k, MSI mpg wifi ddr4 64 gb, MSI venturas 3x 4070ti, just upgraded from a asus ddr4 wifi which was the 3rd motherboard failure. I really don see a difference as I run everything on ultra and high, looks the same to me. 1 1 " any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back, " W Forbes "Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts," Winston Churchill " He who never changes his mind, never changes anything," MSI z690MPG DDR4 || i914900k|| ddr4-64gb PC3200 || MSI RTX 4070Ti|Game1300w|Win10x64| |turtle beach elite pro 5.1|| ViRpiL,T50cm2|| MFG Crosswinds|| VT50CM-plus rotor Throttle || G10 RGB EVGA Keyboard/MouseLogitech || PiMax Crystal VR || 32 Samsung|| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cow_art Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) Yea I second that. I am also on an i9-14900k and I am very much CPU bound in DCS (my 4090 is only at around 60-70% in VR). I mean: everything runs nicely and all, but your CPU is not bad and I guess the (theoretically!) 12% faster CPU won't make a noticeable difference in practice. So IMHO the upgrade is not worth the price tag until ED optimize their engine. Edited December 17, 2023 by cow_art 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
