Hi Tony,
Thanks for the link. I've had a read and the 8700k seems likely to be the best upgrade for P3D4.1.
I've o'clocked my 6700k to 4.7 and get a very smooth performance from it, but on a flight with medium P3D settings, Active Sky, and PF3 running I tend to get "Waiting for Simulator" interuptions at intervals, with Process Explorer showing the cpu maxed out.
I've done a lot of experimenting with Affinity Masks and Process Lasso, but have not found a solution. Maybe I'm greedy, but I'd like to be free of these interuptions and in addition up my settings a little.
If I do upgrade to an 8700k I'd also have faster ram, but I don't know how significant that would be performance wise.
Regards, Jim
