Hi everyone.

I need an advice.

I’m upgrading my rig. I currently have an i7 7700k Oc at 4.8. I’m upgrading to either a i9 10900kf or a i9 11900k.

I have a GTX2080Ti. I don’t think I’ll be upgrading the video card as today’s choices are way overpriced and I’m not sure of a real upgrade in performance.

Any words of encouragement?

I don’t know if you have any experience with overclockin any of these two?

I personally have the 10850K, it is cheaper than the 10900kf and runs just as well as it. I have not needed to overclock it at this point for MSFS or FSX. At least worth a look,

You will get cheaper CPUs with KF at the end. meaning you already have a GPU. RTX2080TI there is no need to upgrade for sure. But on other hand; Does your SIM require more on the CPU? I`m doing just fine with my i7 6700K. at 4.8 GHz, on XPlane 11 (mid-high range) ok, MSFS2020 (Everything in full). I don't need a lot and with some tweaks and plugins, you can make the best out of your sim.
I`m saying this because you don`t need to go crazy. Unless if you are using your PC for other sims or games.

I already purchased the CPU. But still would love if you could share some of the places you get this tweaks and plug ins. I’m using p3d 5.2 mid to low settings. Getting lots of stutters. Specially with clouds. All my textures are 1024 and 2048. Not more.

Thank you Thiago.
