Dublin airport performance - hardware upgrade

[jaguara5 0]

Hi,

my current hardware setup is

i5 2500 (non K) - 3,3 ghz (boost 3,7)

gtx 770 2gb

corsair xms 3 4gb xmx4gx3m2a1600c9 (have removed 4 more giga due to a problem)

corsair cx600 psu

u2713HM 27'' 2560 x 1440

trackir

I enjoy to flight to aerosoft dublin airport but i get poor framerates when i am on final - takeoff (low 10's, single digits) and on taxi (low - middle 10's).

I' m using pmdg 737ngx, FTX EU Ireland, ASN, REX4 (very heavy configuration).

Framerates are almost steady, regardless the resolution i'm using (from 1280 X 1024 up to 2560 X 1440 - cpu bottleneck?).

Graphic settings are High (not maxed out), traffing settings are low.

Also, i installed the airport in 1024 textures.

In other airports (UK200 stansted + ftx england) i get little bit better frames.

So i'm considering to upgrade my cpu / MoBo with the following items

i7 4790K (4,0 Ghz, - 4,4 turbo boost)

MSI Z97 GAMING 5

Should i expect to see a significant performance boost?

Could someone with similar hardware / Software setup post his concrete frame numbers? (around Dublin airport).

Perhaps, if i upgrade later the psu i will try to overclock with the MoBo supported OC option.

Thanks

Yes, you will get significantly better fps, but exactly what you get will of course fully depend on the settings.

You are however pushing your simulator to the max and lack of memory can easy the real reason of the low FPS.

Indeed upgrading those will boost performance. Also I might add that 3.3 Ghz is a little too low for Flight Simulator X with those addons installed. I use Flight Simulator X at a 4.3 Ghz overclock and I struggle to get past 20 FPS at airports like Amsterdam and Frankfurt as well as Dublin. I suggest getting a liquid cooler or a high end air one and over locking to at least 3.6 Ghz. The excellent GPU you have will compensate for the rest of the FPS shortage.
