hi i built new pc over holidays. cpu: intel core i7 14700k. 3.4 ghz 8 P-cores and 12 E-cores. cooler: is deepcool ak500. ram: Kingston 32 gb RGB ddr5 ram. Graphic card: asus 4060 dual oc card. ssd: western digital sn850x 1 TB, also 2TB Western digital harddrive. motherboard: Asus tuf gaming b760m plus wifi ddr 5 ram, pcie gen 5.0. case: is INWIN 048 micro atx case. power supply evga 600 watt PSU. OS: windows 11 pro oem. so far it run nice. some improvement in train simulator was searchlight simulator ac4400cw. on my old pc witch had i7 4770k cpu i was getting 15 FPS but on the new pc i'm getting 30 FPS. Also alot smoother. and the sound it alot better cause the car sound would cut out at angle but not anymore on new pc. TSW is alot smoother and boots faster too. the cpu has turbo boost feature and i turn it off cause my cpu cooler i don't think can handle the power or heat when it on. i also try flight simulator2020 and it run nice at high end specs. but when i tried ultra settings with turbo boost turn on the fans where very loud and fps where dropping and graphic where getting messed up. so i turn it off. i was looking at undervolting but maybe i do that later. over all it things seem fine and i built new pc before the train simulator future performances build came out. so i looking for even more FPS improvement down the road.
Seems your new system is evenly matched for general purpose and GPU intensive tasks at 1080p: https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator put the CPU and GPU in, select your 'purpose' and screen resolution. TSC however is a CPU intensive game so your system should give acceptable performance even at 2160p. Explains the 30 fps, since you didn't give the resolution you like to play in.
ya my resolution 1360x768. but i will say when i try with intel turbo boost on the clock speed was at 5500 mhz and i was getting 40 to 50 fps on ac4400cw engine in TSC.
