I’ve currently got an Z690 board with the i7-12700k and 64gb of ddr4, with an RTX 3070 To. Obviously a gaming rig but I ONLY play two flight sims. MSFS2020 and DCS. Neither of which will run as well as id like fps wise, although DCS is getting close with their latest multi threaded and DLSS updates.
Anyways, I’m considering maxing out this z690 and grabbing either a 14th gen i7 or i9 and another 64gb memory to max it out to 128.
Do you think I’ll notice any improvements between a 12th Gen i7 and a 14th gen i7 or i9?
I tried a 7900XTX, and ending up exchanging that for a 4090 on my 1440 setup. In my opinion and after having experienced it, Nvidia is simply superior. Not to mention the DLSS compartment. AMD is not even close in terms of competition here. Just my opinion.
I think that you’ll be happy with either a 4080 or 4090.
