upgrading CPU.

[catchthefoxes]

I'm thinking of upgrading my CPU. I currently have an i5 6600K paired with a gtx 1060 6gb, i get an average of about 50 fps on the ground and around 55 fps in air while looking at the cockpit; all settings are maxed except for the antialiasing which is at MSAA x4, I have a 1080p monitor.

 

Will upgrading my CPU to an i9 9900K be enough to get my fps to stay above 60? (i obviously cannot afford to get a new GPU with the current state of things.)

If you cut back on the maxed out settings in IL2 you can probably reach 60. I ran a 1070ti with ultra settings, and dialed back some of the other settings and could push around 90 fps. Not sure a CPU upgrade would do anything for you, your 1060 is probably at it's limit with settings maxed out.

If you play at 1080p in 60Hz you current i5-6600K would be probably enough for it.

 

Try to run IL-2 with your current settings but just you MSAA to zero and Clouds to Low.  Then run IL-2 and see what fps do have and what is the %load of your GPU.

 

You can also run the CPU_test of the SYN_vander benchmark to compare your actual performance and compare with others.

Thank you! I really don’t like the look of the clouds on low settings. But I’ll see if the MsAA to zero doesn’t bother me so much. I really don’t like jagged edges.
