Even with 1080 max/ultra, anything below a GTX 1660 is probably going to be a bit frustrating in MS FS 2020...here's a relative comparison of GPUs in RDR2 (Guru3D) and MS FS 2020 (HardwareUnboxed) in 1080p max/ultra, providing some generalized 'guide posts'. ...Worth keeping in mind though that for a sim like MS FS 2020 (rather than a 'fps game'), slightly lower average fps are acceptable, as long as it is at least 24 fps - 30 fps ....and here is a quick 'sweet revenge' screenie I took earlier...flying underneath the same bridge I got stuck on earlier (in rush hour, in the real world) ?

Also looking forward to the finished product photos ! Just make sure the neighbours don't get the wrong idea ?

4790K > 4.7 Ghz (never mind 6700K > 4.7 Ghz) should work fine even at 4K...I have both still running in other systems, and MS FS 2020 doesn't use many threads, so high-clock 4C (4T/8T) unlikely to be a big issue, though cache size also matters. Also, 32GB of decent clocked-&-timed RAM is really helpful with MS FS 2020

...1070 you say ? Check this out, GTX 1070 - 1080p : ...and this... ...in my case, having a dual 2080 Ti setup already on a 40 inch 4k monitor (I probably sit too close to), I obviously wanted to 'max ultra' everything. Besides, 4K Ultra helps to 'mask' TR HEDT lower clock performance

banned coz...where's @486 when we need him ?

Yeah, comes down to a variety of factors...but the liquid used (and its multi-metal rating) is a major one. I even think this kind of rebuild / refill would work well for folks who bought the Enermax TR4 AIO which had one of the best designs (cold-plate) but a big quality problem re. gumming/'gunking' up...

You won't regret it...other than may be re. your monthly electricity bill ? ...It is one of the trickiest apps I have ever set up (including when compared to HWBot quad-SLI), given that all your system components have to be tuned to work in unison for best results w/ MS FS 2020. But once you have it set up for the sweet-spot, especially on a large 4K monitor, it is breathtaking in many ways...MS FS 2020 is educational, skill-requiring / challenging and great fun all at once, depending what flights / planes you choose... Be that in a 747 banking in over a metro area... ...or a quick visit to Mt. Everest on a run-way too short for the plane you chose to go high, fast... But I always gravitate back to flights in that little Icon A5 as it allows me to explore the W.Coast of BC where I live...in the parts further North from here, it looks like a mix of the Norwegian and New Zealand. ...the Icon A5 is slow and has a limited altitude ceiling, but it can land pretty much anywhere ?

... ? ...a couple of years ago, I drove across Canada and back from the W.Coast in the late fall/early winter...in addition to older tunes such as those by Deep Purple, Pink Floyd etc, I love regular trance. But whenever I was speeding more than my regular speed premium, I would listen to s.th. like this instead to slow a bit...

...I never speed...(Hehe)

...I know what you mean ...that little rocky area by the seawall looked spacious enough from above (but wasn't...)

Yeah, instead of putting it off, take off (into the skies !) Also, you can play 'you sank my battle cruise ship' with it (BTW, I completely redid the 1st post in this thread and added some techie info)

BAN_daged one too many times...

More 4K Ultra pics Some night flying in Alaska... Over to New York... Back home to Canada... Northern Lake Superior (still snowing ? ) Back home in BC...entering the Lower Mainland at Hope Vancouver again...

1/3rd distilled water, 2/3rds Thermaltake '1000' - not sexy, but I have very positive experience with it over multiple builds and many years...rated for multi-metal use as well

...wow - time flies ! Haven't built a machine and/or updated this thread since July ! Did some basic maintenance on the workstation yesterday, such as checking fluids for both loops (5x 360/55 rads...). Fluids look like new even after 22 months...all told, I only had to top up with 20 ml over that whole period... ...debating if / when to upgrade...but so far, no real need via new use cases...and this 'work'station has even learned how to fly ?

Oh, I see ? Banned anyway for mentioning "fun fact" and "been neutered" in the same post

Banned coz - what happened to your ear ?

Banned coz WOOF ?

Bann-E-d because...

I can picture you slotting in a 5950X in a short while in 10 sec flat, humming your fav tune...meanwhile, Iamjanco will be busy aligning his CPU-to-3647-socket with laser measuring equipment

I love the TR4/x / Epyc socket mounting mechanism...never had a problem with them, easy as 1-2-3. All my bending-pins-back skills I acquired with LG2011 series are laying dormant now. But as you know, DerBauer managed to mess up a TR4/x socket accidentally a few days ago...it can be done...

Hehe...but banned coz kitty here would like a word with you...

banned coz...

banned for driving a certain EHW member's doggos to drink... (but at least it is Glenlivet 18yrs)

...testing out 'Process Lasso' which is supposed to help with smoothing out MSFS 2020 'main thread limitation' issues below...back to Canada, this time to a little place on the Lake Superior N.Coast...checking out the planes at the airport (right by the main highway), then flying into a Storm, and finally, getting some real N.Canadian weather going...
