Made the switch to PC in May and was blown away! Series X was enjoyable but that thing hasn’t been turned on since. Enjoy the new build and the buttery smooth performance. Don’t be afraid to use all of your gpu, you paid for it after all!
@@Jacobes16 thank you! I was flying with a guy who was an avid flight simmer, and I told him how much I was enjoying MSFS 2020 on my XBox. He sent me a link to my first gaming PC two years ago and I was hooked. You have to enjoy learning about PCs and how to manipulate them, and now I do enjoy that part of the hobby. I am considering taking a course in PC building if I can find one. I no longer. Red a good PC, but I’d like to understand it!
Funny reference with the phonebook! Congrats to your new machine, this is pretty much the best there is and a solid upgrade. Looking forward to enjoy your videos with an even higher quality now!
@@philipppm2657 thanks so much. I still have a long way to go to making my presentations more professional and esthetically pleasing, but this rig will certainly help!
Your comment " Don't try this at home--unless you have a wife who is not going to leave you" says it all. I feel the pain. I am lucky for now that my wife does not say much with my FS Hobby, but she has questioned a few of the packages that arrived on the porch for new gear. ;) . If worse come to worse--may have to ship my stuff to a P.O. Box. Quite a setup you have----still waiting on getting FS2024, maybe around XMAS when I have some time to figure it all out. I currently have a rig similar to your old specs---so watching your videos with the new rig will help me decide if I take the plunge a get a new rig too with upgraded specs. Thanks for posting---Steve.
I did look at Jetline systems (a company that focus on FS systems) for a new rig about 1 year ago---and found their rigs to be top quality, but not sure if want to drop 4K into their system---looking for something that still gives me ultra performance a bit cheaper and maybe your XIDAX rig will be the answer. I did check out prices today on their WWW and they look a lot cheaper than Jetline. Hopefully XIDAX works for you.
@@HiHoSilver-xn5rx you have always supported me, and I am very grateful for our friendship and your willingness to support my channel. All the best during our holiday season and beyond, Jeff
The NYC area has been hard on all flight sims since forever. Three large airports are close together, plus the city and all the surrounding scenery. Add payware scenery and traffic, and it is brutal on any PC. If you have smooth flights to any NYC airport, you're living the dream!
You know, NO ONE, until now, has EVER confirmed that to me! I came to that conclusion on my own. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know. Jeff
Beast of a computer my friend! I have a Ryzen 9 7900x with a 4080 and I absolutely love it and never have any problems. I hope you enjoy that 4090 and the computer, and Merry Christmas!
Santa came early 😍 Im so happy that you got a new PC, youre gonna love the 4090 its really a game changer 👍 Just make sure to have dlss Frame generation to ON, thats at the top of the graphic settings. Merry Christmas
@@FatherTime1958that will double your fps, its a big reason why the 4 series cards is so good with msfs. With a 3 series card you dont even have the option to use it. That computer is a beast, im so happy you dont golf so youre still way ahead 👍😊 Also you are doing community service with this channel with all your knowledge and stories, i hope youre wife knows that how happy we are 😊🙏
@@speedbird8326 this is huge, and thank you!!!! You are likely appalled at the arrogance of a human who would dare to post this stuff with the PC knowledge of a toddler. However, that's the beauty of this hobby, it's guys like you that step in to guide your little PC brothers along. You have no idea how much that means to me. Quite honestly, it's been the most surprising and rewarding part of the journey. I am here to mentor guys with less ratings and be mentored by guys with more experience in the PC world. What a great hobby! Jeff
@@speedbird8326 that explains it. I thought you seemed liked a brother. "Jerry Sirote" (Qantas)? Old USAFA buddy of mine. Any contact? Greatest guy on the planet who ended up marrying an Australian woman and spending his next decades in Australia. I haven't seen him since USAFA. Just checking on some possible "small-world" stuff.
Put everything on Ultra but watch your CPU and GPU temperatures. I maxxed out my previous computer temps but the new one has not gone over 160 F. Nice warm air out of the top fans though helps heat the room in winter. I think the liquid cooling system removes at least 50 degrees F of the heat generated when flying the sim. Put a digital thermometer on top of your PC tower. I see 108 F.
Hi Father Time, woohoo Happy Christmas...............I bet your new PC is from Santa really..............Looks like a monster, although I am interested to see what you think once up and running. Flight Sim is really hard on PC's and the new one I think even more so.............I know they have moved away from all the work being done by the CPU "Central Processing Unit", and now it is the GPU "Graphics Processing Unit" which is most critical. My old FSX sim used to require more CPU power than GPU power, so things sure have changed round over the years. I might well use your specs as a guide when I get to the point of buying my next PC! Oh are you sure UA-cam won't get upset you showing that movie clip, they could demonetise your channel! I hope not. All the very best and happy faster flying, Dave.
@@stretchedits hi Dave. Always great to hear from you. Merry Christmas! So far the video hasn’t gotten flagged for copyright, and as for the demonization by YT, they would have to take.a number after my ex was done with me.
Not great. I can run ULTRA on most airports, but HIGH on JFK. Evidently there is a frame generation option (dlss) that I can select. I’ll try it today. It’s amazing how helpful the community is when you admit that you’re a novice! Thank you for always checking in, it means everything! Jeff
@@FatherTime1958 and how about lowering your resolution a tad? Such high settings brings every system to it's knees. I could be wrong of course and maybe your monitor requires the high resolution, but worth a try? Best, Paul
@@dutchflyingpilot Very true. I have a few more things to play with today in regards to the settings. I think that "high" is a good setting in addition to turning off "dynamic" and enabling DLSS. Thank you!!!!!!!!

I have the exact same build. You should expect about 100fps plus with frame gen on or off
