My main game is FSX. Proc does use turbo boost at 3.9 GHz. If I over clock to 4.5 which is only a 600 MHz bump, what kind of increase in performance single threaded wise are we looking at? Me thinks nothing at all.
Perhaps you should look at upgrading/overlocking your low end 560 TI first.
I'm actually just going to replace it with a GTX 1060. FSX is a CPU orientated game. Works really well with what I got now and I'm quite happy, but I debated at whether I should buy the 3600 MHz RAM I was going to get and OC. Not sure if I want to spend the $200 on RAM.
This is a really good video from Linus, a lot of his stuff seems to kinda gloss over the nitty gritty technical stuff but this is definitely a good video to consider.
What's a shame that I found out was on the Z170 boards, you can't run pass DDR4-2133 when you have all 4 DIMMS filledThis is a really good video from Linus, a lot of his stuff seems to kinda gloss over the nitty gritty technical stuff but this is definitely a good video to consider.
That said I just went from 2133>2933 (soon to be 3200) RAM and it's noticeable.
That's super lame. I know AM4 boards can't run at as high of speeds with 4 slots versus 2 but still able to usually do 2400MHz with all 4. Also keeps getting better with BIOS updates and varies from board to board.What's a shame that I found out was on the Z170 boards, you can't run pass DDR4-2133 when you have all 4 DIMMS filled
Not even related, unless you're trying to overclock via the bus. But even then not really I don't think...?I could have sworn you needed faster RAM to achieve a high overclock.
Not sure, I'm waiting for X299/X399 thoughThat's super lame. I know AM4 boards can't run at as high of speeds with 4 slots versus 2 but still able to usually do 2400MHz with all 4. Also keeps getting better with BIOS updates and varies from board to board.
Is Z270 any better?
