My Xeon has 18 cores, 36 logical ones, TS22 runs fine. The big advantage is the cache on the CPU is shared over all the cores and getting stuff in and out of the CPU is always a bottleneck. When running in driver it's using around 1% to 3% of the CPU according to task manager but that is on a simple layout. I run a Refurbished Dell workstation 5820, the 18 core machines come up rarely, but they come with a 900 watt power supply and plenty of room for a decent GPU although the RTX 4000 that came with it works fine. There are faster CPU around but that cache is really nice.
The GPU is usually of more importance.

are you planning on running anyother games besides trainz on your system, or are you just gonna plan on running trainz all the time? the 3.40Ghz Consarnes Me a little bit being on the low side as it will not run most games like FS22 or Higher.. if you went with a 4.0Ghz processor you would be able to run other games such as FS22.. If your doing this PC just strictly for trainz then you shouldn't have any problems at all.. Just my two cents and something to considerI'm considering switching from a Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core processor to an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor (16C/32T, 3.40-4.90GHz). I don't know if it makes sense for Trainz.
What does Trainz22 actually support, 8, 12 or 16 cores?

surveyor 1 or 2? I was playing in driver.For gaming, I only use it for TRS.I've tried a GTX 1070 and recently an RTX 3060, and there's no significant difference.In TRS, I'm working on a large map where I'm having problems building splines. Now I think the CPU is the bottleneck.

There is the problemI was playing in driver.

Splines are very CPU intensive and it also depends upon the splines and track. To put it nicely, some are made better than others with the others causing all kinds of sluggish loading. To add to this, if there are lots of scripted assets, these too can cause splines and track to load because they are hogging cycle times and both the GPU and CPU. The same better than others statement applies scripted assets to these as well including some freight wagons and passenger cars.For gaming, I only use it for TRS.I've tried a GTX 1070 and recently an RTX 3060, and there's no significant difference.In TRS, I'm working on a large map where I'm having problems building splines.

Recently, I had an issue with some passenger cars. They looked very nice, were okay when there were a few of them, but when placed in quantity one of the scripts caused everything to load slowly. I was about to give up on the session and made one last ditch test by checking the logs (Show client logs) when I loaded the session in Driver, and these particular passenger cars had a script that kept calling some function over and over. When I removed these passenger cars, the session was back to normal.
Sorry, I meant the problem mainly occurs in driver mode.
Okay, so I can assume my CPU is the bottleneck.What I still don't know is how many cores TRS can handle: 8, 12, or 16 cores?Splines are very CPU intensive
I've checked for you using CPUID Hardware Monitor PRO. I have a 24-core i9-12900K. Nearly every core is accessed in Driver, many are accessed in Surveyor and only a few are accessed at the menu.Sorry, I meant the problem mainly occurs in driver mode.

The L3 cache on the 5950x is twice the size of the 3700x and that really helps shoveling instructions and data in and out of the CPU. I just happen to love caches whether it's worth the cash for the upgrade I won't like to say.I'm considering switching from a Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core processor to an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor (16C/32T, 3.40-4.90GHz).

Thank you very much for your feedback, it helps me a lot.It's good to know that every core is being used.I've read a lot about cache online, and they also confirmed that it's very important for gaming.So I'm going to get the Ryzen 9 5950 X and see what happens.Thanks in advance, I'll report back.
