Performance
-
What hardware determines TPT performance the most? I've heard people say single-thread CPU performance, but is there anything else? What about the speed of the system memory. The reason I want to know is because I want to squeeze out as much performance as possible with TPT.
PC specs:
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (4 GB x 2)
Intel Core i7 4790k on Z97 chipset (4.5 GHz overclock)
Windows 10 Education (identical to Enterprise edition feature-wise) x64
512 GB Crucial SSD on SATA-III
I am considering buying 16 GB DDR3 2400 MHz. (8 GB x 2)

Only cpu i think, single-thread

Yes, TPT mostly just uses one core of your CPU. A second core might help slightly with Newtonian Gravity, but besides that it won't help much.
Amount of RAM doesn't matter either since it only uses about 50MB of RAM, hard drive speed doesn't either since it doesn't use that unless you save / load a stamp. -
I plan on building a gaming computer for TPT, what are the optimal specs?

It does a lot of calculations but I guess might access RAM a lot. But anyway ... RAM is very fast, and the most used stuff is in an even faster cache. I doubt RAM speed has much effect at all. What mostly matters is how fast it can do the calculations on the CPU.
