Demon_ Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hi, Thinking of changing my old rig (I5 2500k + RAM 8Go) and replacing it by : Which one is the best I7 8700k or 9700k ? - 8700k : 3.7Ghz / 6 cores / 12 threads - 9700k : 3.6Ghz / 8 Cores / 8 threads Monocore frequency is little higher with the 8700k. Don't care, it's a K. Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon_ Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) 9700K 8 coeurs physiques c'est mieux que 6 coeurs physiques + 6 coeurs virtuels. Pour DCS, la vitesse du CPU (surfréquencer) aide beaucoup. Edited February 10, 2019 by Demon_ Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egon Vindex Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 It is worth 50$/€ more for the 9700k ? My actual rig is 7 years old, I expect the next one to last the same. I heard about thermic past on the 8700k and may not have as good dissipation as the 9700k notably in terms of overclok ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_ Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Can't tell. Both CPU are good for DCS. Maybe you should start a new thread for a better forum visibility on you. Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailey123 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 For 50 bucks more for the 9900k i would take that one. It does not matter really anyway for DCS because it is heavily single treaded. Would also be nice to have 16gb memory iam using 8gb myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
