Steel Jaw Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago (edited) Am I likely to see much performance increase in DCS or even (if you know) MS2024? Thanks! Edited 23 hours ago by Steel Jaw "You see, IronHand is my thing" My specs: W10 Pro, I5/11600K o/c to 4800 @1.32v, 64 GB 3200 XML RAM, Red Dragon 7800XT/16GB, monitor: GIGABYTE M32QC 32" (31.5" Viewable) QHD 2560 x 1440 (2K) 165Hz.
Aapje Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) The 14600K is quite a bit faster and it should probably help quite a bit. That said, I would advise against getting that processor unless you also run productivity software that benefits a lot from the e-cores, since you are buying into a dead platform, and cannot do a cheap upgrade in the future. With AM5 you can go for a solid upgrade with big upgrade potential, for example by getting a 7500F (from Aliexpress), 7600X or 9600X. The former is especially good value for money. For AM4, we saw that AMD released fairly cheap X3D CPUs for AM4 once they released their new platform, so going this route probably allows for a big upgrade for relatively cheap later on. You can then keep your motherboard + RAM + cooler, and only have to drop in the new CPU. Another option is to directly go to a 7800X3D or 9800X3D. Then you have a processor that is top of the line (and substantially faster than the 14600K or the cheaper AM5 options) with still a reasonable price (in particular the 7800X3D).
