    Hi everyone,Just wanted to share my experience in using Intel's latest hexacore processor, the 3930K.I thought the Core i7 990X was brilliant for FSX, but the 3930K just blows everything else away, including the 2600K/2700K.First, here's an overview on my system specs:

    Intel Core i7 3930K
    ASUS P9PX79 PRO
    ASUS ENGTX570 DCII (2 in SLI)
    16GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, 16GBs in Quad Channel (4GB per stick)
    64GB Crucial M4 SSD (OS and productivity software on this only)
    1TB 5400RPM Western Digital HDD (running FSX and games on this HDD)
    Cooler Master 1200w PSU (80 plus gold)
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    Sharp Aquos Quatronn 40inch LED 1920x1080
    FSX w/Acceleration, GEXe, REX, PMDG 747x and 8i, MD-11, and 737 NGX.

    Performance:Typically, with the 2600K at 5GHz, and when starting a free-flight from Chicago's O'Hare airport and with most sliders set to medium, unlimited FPS, and weather set to "fogged in" or "building storms," my average FPS over the city and airport is about 30FPS. Other notable settings: None of the following enabled: "Airplane casts shadow on itself and the ground," "flare." Job Scheduler/Affinity is set to 255.In contrast, with the 3930K, I can enable all of the features that typically tax FPS and lower the performance, plus, I can max out all of the sliders and still achieve "fluid" gameplay and average 30/40 fps under the most demanding conditions; when FSX is "taxing" the CPU. You can just imagine what it's like under fair weather conditions, but with "auto-gen" and other sliders maxed out! Overall, I can't believe how fantastic my flying experience is. I think this is what the developers envisioned with this simulator. It's unfortounate that it took a number of CPU evolutions spanning several years to finally achieve this level of game play. (my affinity mask for the 3930K is set to 1344 in my FSX config file)Lastly, based on all my other benchmarks, the 3930K is essentially the 2600K with 2 additional cores; the performance increase is in direct proportion to the additon of two cores.Hope this helps, if you have any suggestions on modifying the FSX config file or have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.Jacob
