which is better

Postby vgbaron » Thu Oct 30, 2008 5:26 pm

System running 450x9 1800 8-8-8-24-1T or system running 467x9 1600 7-7-7-20-1T?

You gain a little in the CPU but does the change in memory timings offset that gain?

Thanx,

Vic

What does the sim feel like between the two

You would need to fly where you do normally in your payware aircraft for a period of time.. give it a few weeks, then switch to 1600 and see how it feels


Your dropping the latency/raising the CPU speed and if all other factors remain the same including performace level I would say you are probably going to see about the same with 1800 being a bitbetter.. but its hard to say. If tyour normal flying has more CPU demand than memory subsystem then you may find them equal or 1600 a tad better


You are so close in engineering terms because of the latency drop/cpu increase its really one of those things you would need to feel out. But 1600 may be better if PL were to come down to 6.. that I can see
