There are no specific CPU requirements for GSX, my CPU is 5 years old ( i7-6700 ) and works just fine with no fps loss when calling GSX and, since GSX is available in TRIAL VERSION, what's better than allowing users to test it on their own system with their own settings ?

That was perhaps the problem. Were you using a proper cooling system ? If you just overclock without enough care about thermal issues, your CPU might start throttling down to safe itself from burning, thus REDUCING performances.

My suggestion about changing GPU was in reply to the OP, which had an i9-9990K with a 1660Ti, and that still's valid and today, with P3D V5 more reliance on the GPU and on the amount of VRAM available, it's even more valid than ever. That CPU *screams* to use a 2080Ti.

You never said which CPU you had but the problem was never a supposedly CPU-hungry GSX, it was your CPU close to failing and, having likely had to reinstall Windows from scratch after a complete CPU+mainboard chnage, I guess most of the issues you were having, which were never caused by GSX in the first place, were simply fixed by a system reinstall.

Farlis:
There was no need to reinstall Windows when I upgraded the Motherboard and CPU.
I don't understand were people get the notion this would be unavoidable.
Changing these components is just as Plug and Play as everything else under Windows. The only thing you have to do is update the Windows Product-Key registration to your new setup. But that is just one click and it is done.
