MS flight sim (2020)

Performance is smooth enough for me, only a little bit choppy for a few seconds just after loading. 3700X / 1070 / 16GB @ 1080p.
Edit: At high quality settings I think?

Performance on my RTX 3070 & i5 8400 seems heavily dependent on where I am flying (JFK fetches around 10-15 FPS and Gloucestershire, UK will maintain a solid 60 FPS). I suppose that comes down to detail of the environment (JFK having loads more - increased CPU load?).

what resolution are you at? I'd hate to have a 3070 and a fairly good CPU and be so low.

I Assume the CPU is at 100% all the time?

For sims like MSFS and racing sims I'm looking to upgrade my rig for VR. I have a 3080, what would be a suitable CPU to pair along with it for good performance, and how much does the performance really increase? I have my eyes on the i5 11400f, which will also require a mobo upgrade for me and I hear the b560 is optimal there.
