boetie Posted Wednesday at 01:39 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:39 AM I am planning on getting a new prebuilt PC to run FS2024. Ideally I'd like an i9 14900k CPU and a 4090 graphics card. I don't think the treasurer will allow me to purchase a system with both. If I went with an i9 I would go with a 4080 Super and if I went with a 4090 I would go with an i7 14700kf. Which would benefit me the most for best performance, the higher spec CPU or the higher spec GPU? (If I present a good case to the treasurer it may be both, stranger things have happened). Thank you Graeme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted Wednesday at 05:38 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:38 AM Check my specs. With the new Nvidia app settings (plus a bit of added LOD compared to what it recommends) I get butter smooth performance at 4K resolution, over 99% of the world, and still impressive smoothness over the few taxing cities like Paris and London. The 4070 card rarely runs at over 80% in dense scenery and even in the VR with high to ultra settings the performance is very good. But I would hold off until FS24 is bedded in for a month or more to see what the actual hit is. I suspect it will be 10% at most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted Wednesday at 03:24 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:24 PM I remember a few generations back I had a 1070, it was really good, I have never had 80 or 90 versions and always been happy....as for the CPU I recently got the 14600kf and it's been a great update from my old 9600k so the 14700kf should fit nicely.....but seriously think about what John said and look at the 4070....

boetie Posted 18 hours ago Author Share Posted 18 hours ago (edited) Thank you gents. I ended up getting permission to go all out. Have ordered a system with an i9 and a RTX 4090 card. It has 64GB Ram and two 2TB SSD's. It's my retirement machine (hopefully early next year). I'm also eyeing a Pimax Crystal Light VR set to go with it in the future. Thanks again! https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/ready-to-run-pcs/gaming-pc/109372-r2r10255 Edited 18 hours ago by boetie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
