August 14, 20169 yr GTX 1080... but wait a few weeks, they are sold out almost everywhere, and the ones available are being sold at scalper-prices.

August 14, 20169 yr GTX Titan X of course. Asus Rampage VI Extreme Encore(water Cooled) EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Hybrid, 64 DD4 @ 2800 2 x 2x M.2 in raid 0.
August 14, 20169 yr Get over it guys and stop wasting money on a 1080 its not going to massively improve P3D. ESP code is CPU bound render engine and the GPU may still improve slight frames but nothing special. Save your money get a 980ti and notch down those sliders. Vernon Howells
August 14, 20169 yr Even better yet, go with a 970. I've had both a 980ti and a 970 in this box and there was no noticeable performance difference. Nada, zero, none.....

August 14, 20169 yr Agreed with above. If you only run flight sims then a 1080 is a bit of an overkill. The money can be better spent elsewhere.
August 14, 20169 yr Commercial Member Why get a last-gen card (especially the flawed 970)? If the 1080 is too rich for you (it is for me), consider a 1070 or 1060. Runs cooler and uses less power than the Maxwell cards. Cheers! Luke Luke Kolin I make simFDR, the most advanced flight data recorder for FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane.
