My simulations (X-Plane, etc.) Function smoothly. Also simulator in Google Earth Pro without jerking. Also VMWare with Windows10 no problem. Over standard with 4.3 GHz and 29-35 degrees Celsius. Windows Experience Index under W7 is 6.5 (graphics and video games). Otherwise with MSI Z97M-G43 and 8GB RAM of GSkill. And Samsung Evo 840 256GB. (7.3 Processor / RAM 7.9 / SSD 7.9)
A superfast matter that needs to fear no comparison. With multitasking, however, the performance limits are reached under certain circumstances soon. But highly recommended.
