Hello all,
I just ordered this computer which is about as good as it could be with current hardware for Xplane. However, I am a bit concerned that in very little time technology will have moved forward and I will have to start upgrading. So I have the following questions:
1) Would I be better off getting an i9 now and if so which one? Let's assume that performance is more important than price...
2) Would one of the new nVidia 2080 models be a better choice?
3) Will I be able to notice the difference between 3000mhz memory and 3200mhz?
I would like to build for the next few years without having to change. That said, I am very excited to be upgrading from a gaming laptop!
Best regards to all,
R
