August 22, 20187 yr Target application? P3D, FSX, XPlane? I think I'd wait a month or two more and see how the 9xxx series CPUs and the 2080Ti pan out. A 4790K to an 8700k, or a 1080Ti from two Titans in SLI isn't gonna exactly water your eyes.

The 4790K is still a very capable CPU, too. Might just be that P3Dv5 shows up with PBR and takes advantage of ray tracing, making a 2080Ti or later a much more dramatic step up.

August 23, 20187 yr Mikey Mike I don't think you will have to wait all that long matey ... 6 months tops. I wish though, that I had your years mate. As an aged pensioner I feel I am going to miss out on so very much just when it is getting particularly interesting. Cheers Tony Tony Chilcott. My System. Motherboard.

August 23, 20187 yr Author I wish I could upgrade in 6 months but when you family and mortgage priorities come first. hopefully when I retire I will purchase my own cockpit. thats the plan lol but that’s a long ways away yet. Only 37yo Cheers mike
