April 1, 20179 yr If I was about to get a 1080Ti this would be the card I would pick without a doubt! I have pretty much the same card right now but the 980Ti model and I couldn't be more happy. The best GFX card I ever had so far - lots of power and yet very silent and the build quality is superb.

April 4, 20179 yr Here's a faster one (on paper). It's actually $130AU cheaper than the Asus Strix here in Australia. https://www.pccasegear.com/products/38252/gigabyte-aorus-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-xtreme-edition-11gb gb. YSSY.

April 8, 20179 yr Well, having now had the 1080ti for several days, I think I can safely say that P3D/FSX are just really not affected much by this card. The CPU is still the bottleneck, and I can't say there was any noticeable increase of any sort. X-plane 11 received a very modest boost, and Aerofly FS2 received quite a nice boost, and that's about all she wrote. Here's the (freaking enormous) new card: We are all connected.....

X-plane 11 received a very modest boost, and Aerofly FS2 received quite a nice boost, and that's about all she wrote. It has been always stated P3D, FSX, FSX-SE use the CPU more than the GPU and I believe we all went through this when the Titan X was released last year. Everyone expected no stutters, shimmering, pauses, freezes, etc., etc., and that was not realistic. I think, you will definitely see a performance increase if P3D goes to 64 bit just like you saw in X-Plane and you need to be prepared for that eventuality. That's why I'm upgrading. The latest and greatest GPU's were made for the new DX12 games being released and none of those games are even closely related to P3D or any other flight simulator. The game has to be programmed to utilize the GPU for various functions and that's not happening with most of our flight simulators where thousands and thousands of textures have to be rendered almost instantly. But it is better than the GeForce 8800GT/GS/GTX that was about the best video card when FSX was first released in 2006 - http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-8800-gtx/specifications and the GeForce 9800GTX released about a year later. Let's hope the next version of P3D is fully capable of performing using the latest DX 12 technology these cards were made for. Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

April 15, 20179 yr Author Commercial Member I just got the 1080 ti and going from a standard 1080 I did get a boost in games but not much in flight sims. I overclocked the card a bit and gained 5 to 7 fps in P3D. Paul Grubich 2017 - Professional texture artist painting virtual aircraft I love.

As I mentioned, I think Aerofly FS 2 is the only sim we have right now taking good advantage of modern card capabilities. on my 1080, I have videos of me flying over New York at 200Fps.

April 17, 20179 yr Anyone with the 1080Ti comment on how it handles sparse grid transparency SS? Do we still see that big drop in FPS in heavy cloud? gb. YSSY.

April 18, 20179 yr My 1080ti is ready to be picked up from the post station - yesssss :-) I ordered the Gigabyte Aorus.
April 18, 20179 yr I just installed mine yesterday. I am going to give it a good run in P3D soon. Man the Founders Edition is LOUD under full fan. I read that it was, but wasn't prepared for how loud it actually was. Performance in a few other games is really impressive though.

April 18, 20179 yr Well.... not too bad for the first benchmark. No overclocking until now. The card is dead silent. Way more silent than my Asus 1080 Strix was.
April 20, 20179 yr I have most of my parts for the new system ready, but still waiting for the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black to come in. Seems US gets the inventory first, followed by UK, then Canada. Been waiting 6 years for this. Jeff Thomson
April 20, 20179 yr I was just notified this AM that my ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING GeForce 11GB OC Edition VR Ready 5K HD Gaming HDMI DisplayPort DVI Overclocked PC GDDR5X Graphics Card will be arriving this Saturday (Apr 22).
