eagerly waiting for 7800x3d performance in MSFS, will be interesting to see first real world tests in our forums also ?

At 4k ish resolutions I am not seeing any obvious benefit for an upgrade for those who have a a 13th Gen intel CPU or a AMD 5800X3D (i.e. me)

Had hoped that the new X3D CPU's would massively improve 1% lows but not seeing it in these results.

I kind of wonder if it is not more suitable when buying an AM5 system now, to go with a bargain 7900 or 7900X and just put in a Zen5 next year. That one should fit in the same board with the same DDR5-6000... I mean, little would be lost for a more promising gain later on.

7900X is a real bargain CPU of zen4 line and imho - long term upgrade choices are the best of dilemmas
