HumanDrone Posted yesterday at 12:41 AM Posted yesterday at 12:41 AM All, it's been ages... I can't believe how long. I've been retired for 4 years and still haven't found time to upgrade my computer. So what's up with WOFF/WOTR? Do I still basically want the fastest clock speed processor and best graphics card that I can afford? Which, thank God,I could afford quite a bit, but bumping around here, I notice Pol saying to hold back your settings for Over the Top and work them up, does that count for truly "High end" rigs? Everyone seems to be saying AMD X3D chips instead of Intel 14900K or teh newer one, which Tom's Hardware is kinda rough on... and I'd really like to order today or tomorrow, though today seems very unlikely now... Right now, the only thing different from the listings in my signature line is I'm up at Windows 10 - didn't want to bother with the upgrade workaround because, well, look how old this thing is! I built in 14 years ago and it wasn't "front of the class" then!
Rick Rawlings Posted yesterday at 07:00 AM Posted yesterday at 07:00 AM Well, I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz and an Nividia 3060 Ti with 64GB of RAM running in 2560x1440 and in 1918 for sure, I get a bit of slowdown when the fur starts to fly. So...something faster than that, I would say! Good luck! 2

HumanDrone Posted 15 hours ago Author Posted 15 hours ago Rick, you are, of course a very experienced and respected and helpful flyer here, so much thanks! It's interesting to me that AMD and NVidia can live together now, so hmmm, maybe I'll have to take Shootingstar2's advice! Still, I look at the difference in price between an NVidia GTX5080 -5090 and that's an eye-popper! Meanwhile, the AMD 980 X3D is affordable and supposedly better for gaming applications than even the next one, what, 995X3D, and also much better than Intel's latest offerings. But our sims don't act like other games, which is why I came here. I hope Pol or winder weigh in, don't want to bother them specifically... But yeah, thanks!
Rick Rawlings Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Pol doesn't follow this board too much, you'll have better luck catching him on the other forum. Cheers!
