anybody running this on G4560

[TWC_Ace]

Hi all, due to health issues I had a long pause from gaming (entirely) so i sold my old rig. Now I had a new one (G4560 with 2 physical and 2 virtual cores 3.5Ghz, GTX1060 3GB, 2x4GB Gskill 2400Mhz RAM and SSD 240GB). With this new PC Im running all the games on max no probs. I used to have i7 920OC 3.4Ghz and GTX 660Ti 2GB and I was running BOS ok on standard settings. I still use my Dell monitor 1200p, 60Hz. So anybody knows or runs this sim on G4560. Im kinda skeptical it will work If I install the game again since it doesnt have 4 physical cores. DN engine uses 4 physical cores AFAIK....Any thoughts what I might get with this?

As far as I'm aware, the game will run on a dual-core CPU. However, don't take my word for it. 

 

I do know that performance will be poor without four physical cores (the game does use them). That's quite a shame, because the rest of your PC is rather good.

It should run, whether or not it runs well is another matter entirely. I can write a program that uses 128 threads and have it run on a single core/thread CPU from 15 years ago. That isn't a problem. What would happen is the CPU would simply cycle through all the program threads and run super slow due to all the switching. Same thing will happen with running BoS on a Pentium G4560. The good news here is BoS is mostly single threaded with the 3 other threads being only lightly used. So it might actually work ok. But that's just a guess on my part.

It will run just fine, G4560 is not that slow, mainly because it have HT so its like Skylake core i3...in gaming G4560 is overall very close to Ryzen 1200 or Sandy bridge i5 (like i5 2500 or i5 2400) so it should be OK for now and you can upgrade to i5 6600 later(those CPUs are very cheap on used market right now) just check this

If I were you, I'd certainly install the game. 

 

It might not run perfectly, but you should be able to usually get 60 Hz.

Yeah, I was building a budget gaming rig with the upgrade in mind so I will definitely replace my cpu in the future. G4560 is 1151 socket so Im fine.

It runs all other games (including CLOD) all maxed out no probs. I was little concerned how it will run BOS/BOM since DN engine (I believe) can use 4 PHYSICAL cores. Most games cant tell the difference if the cores are physical or virtual so G4560 is more than enough with its HT enabled (4 cores in total).

I will install BOS and let you know.

Thanks all for you inputs.

When I built my new rig last summer, I bought a G4400 (dual core 3.3Ghz, no hyper threading) as a placeholder CPU for a future i5. The G4400 ran the game surprisingly well.

 

Hell, before the G4400 I ran the game on a prehistoric E6700 dual core 2.6Ghz (with a GTX950) and as long as it was just two planes in the air, the game ran well enough. The G4400 was a very noticeable improvement. I was able to fly smoothly with many planes in the air.

 

The game runs super sweet on the i5-6500/1060 3GB I have now.

After poor performance with a quad core AMD, I heard the game mainly runs single single thread and realised why. I searched for the best budget gaming CPU and many sources pointed to the dual core i3 6100. I put one of these in and the game runs a treat! Fantastic fast single thread CPU.

 

Definitely seen how single thread performance is by far the most important for this sim.

 

Cheers
