AMD vs Intel CPU's with FSX + P3D
« on: March 04, 2017, 08:58:33 AM »
I know it was just released on Thursday, but I was wondering if anyone has heard any information or has any opinions on how the new AMD RYZEN CPU's might perform with FSX/P3D. 

In anticipation of P3D v4; I was thinking of upgrading my PC with a new Intel CPU + NVIDIA GPU, but apparently the 'word' is that Intel will probably be drastically dropping their prices in response to AMD's "RYZEN".

Don't know enough about the new AMD CPU to speak intelligently about it, but I know where my money would go...Intel, Nvidia, and don't look back.

     I am an AMD guy, and the new chip looks very impressive (I watched "Linus Tech Tips" about it)--> https://youtu.be/9wJQEHNYE7M
     I look forward to upgrading to the new AM4 and DDR4 system.  I can't tell you why I prefer AMD, but I am strongly biased.   ;D    I have had Nvidia in the past, but never Intel.   :o  It's just a decision I made a long time ago, and have stuck with it.

 8)     My new AM4/DDR4 motherboard and Ryzen chip are on the way.   8)  I've begun to upgrade my 5 year old computer to modern specs with the new AMD AM4 Ryzen 1800X CPU and 32 Gigs of Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 RAM chips.  That means a new motherboard and a Corsair H100i liquid cooler.  I have the H80i cooler now, and it's good.  But I want more!!!  Mwah-ha-ha!!   ;D

     I plan to use my current Radeon R9 390X graphics card for now, but someday would like to swap it for two GTX 1080's, or whatever the next new card to come out is.   ;)

Some folks swear by Chevy's and some swear by Fords. Whatever works for you is what works for you. As long as it works, it's all good.

Then there 'was',
Kaiser, Frazer, Plymouth, Packard, Oldsmobile, De Soto, Willys etc. etc.
Somebody must have thought they were worth buying.

I read somewhere, sometime back, that you would only notice the difference between the two CPU's if you were crunching numbers on an astro-phyicist's scale of things. Don't think that's a qualifier for most of us. Watch...some rocket scientist will jump in now.

Time to fire up the Edsel and take Madge out to dinner at the A&W root beer drive-in joint. Fifty-cent burger night.

     For me, running the flight sims is the hardest thing for my computer to do.  No other program works harder to just get objects onto the screen in time, and maintain a smooth rate.  There are so many programs out there that are so visually pleasing, they make your eyes water.  They run smooth.  The flight sim looks like crap, and struggles to do that.  I'm hoping this new CPU will help.  (I bet that was MS's plan all along.)  Make a program that screams ... "UPGRADE YOUR PATHETIC COMPUTER".  It's been working.  My entire reason for having a top notch system is so my flight sim works better.  How many thousands of dollars have gone into that hole?  ... and here I go again ...   ;)

Let's face it FSX was released as an unfinished product as M$ killed the Aces group and never offered the complete product.  The majority of improvements to FSX was done entirely by third party development both Free and Payware.
I agree that it is one of the harshest pgms. on any computer I have every owned and there are many times I remember FS9 almost fondly.  What caps it off is that rarely is FSX considered in any reports or computer statistics.  It seems to be studiously avoided by reviewers.

I watch my G'kids play these X-box and Wll games, huge memory hogs, but on a platform that supports those operations. I seem to remember FSX being able to play on X-Box, or Play Station, what ever they call it now. Looking at these kids games I'm thinking, wow, if this thing could play my sim I'd be in heaven. But, then, how would you get all your addon scenery and all into it? You couldn't, unless you could load it onto a memory stick or some other media? Hell, I was lucky to graduate high school. Beyond my pay grade.

 I have been upgrading my system since FSX came out. I have probably build 5 or 6 new faster, better computers in the chase to run FSX right.  Friends have benefited from the hand me downs.

Ditto!   ;)  ... and we benefit by having very nice systems.  8)
