What exactly did you expect?!

You can get the same performance for less money. A RTX card (and by that money) is wasted on P3D until a new graphics engines is introduced.

Not necessarily. If it's all about frame rates then yes possibly, but if it's also about the amount of settings that you can activate at the same time, then for some of us it might be worth it, especially considering that not all of us use our cards for flight simulation exclusively.

I guess what I'm wondering is if flying at night with DL on is worth $1300(including taxes and shipping)Canadian...since I'm using a 1440 monitor it seems like a hard pill to swallow. My 1070 paired with my 6700k at 4.7 is giving me 45-60 (vsync on) pretty much anywhere. 

Well I've got a 6700k @4.6 and just set up the FSL A319 at DD KSEA/Orbx PNW with 3 cloud layers and rain, turned all the exterior lights on with dynamic lights and moderate-high settings at 4k/30hz and my 2080TI shredded it without breaking a sweat. I could only get it to go below 30fps by jacking up the autogen which is CPU-bound. I am coming from the 980Ti so don't mind spending the extra money. Worth every penny of the $500 more than I would pay for a new 1080Ti. People need to stop concentrating on the max FPS. It's about maintaining the low-end FPS in demanding conditions. That's what the 1080Ti can't do and this card can.

Happy to report that the 2080 makes a world of difference vs my 1070. I ve just lifted off CYUL with active sky multi layed cloud with rain in 4k and its smooth as butter. I ve set cloud at 110nm and flying above the multilayer overcast The fps is still high and gpu usage around 85%. Running with a [email protected]. Need to do some DL test now.

Thanks for this information. I'm definitely curious to hear how it performs with DL on and some AA, since my monitor is 1440 I use 4SSAA at the moment. DL is not liking that setting at all.

Have you had a chance to test the DL with the 2080? I wonder if it would keep the performance up, compared to my 1070. 

Thanks

Fallacy.

Because he doesn't think the price is worth the performance, doesn't mean he's envious.  

Be better.

Yes. Big changes from before. Mind you, you still need to do the hat-switch-go-around-the-plane-to-fill-the-shader-cache trick, but I am running 100% UTL traffic with dynamic light airports. What used to kill my 1070 was turning on the landing lights right at the gate and splashing the wall with light. Now the fps doesn't budge. The fluidity of taxing with the taxi lights in,... in 4k..... In changes the immersion factor. Do yourself a favor and go pick up a new card. If you are asking yourself if you should upgrade, then do. 

At LPPT with the landing lights on. 60 fps.

Thanks for this detailed information. It definitely is tempting, but I’m just not sure it’s worth the $ only for some better looking lights. I’m able to maintain between 45-60 FPS (vsync on) at any airport in any weather (2048 clouds) with 4SSAA at 1440, with settings mostly to the right, except autogen draw, which is at medium. I don’t use any traffic (roads or planes). I think I can live without DL for the moment I guess.

Its strange. I did a thread and tests where I pretty much reached that conclusion, and so did Rob. Others have come up with the same general results, but it seems like it's going to have to be repeated quite a few times before it finally becomes part of the general lore.

But I believe he's using a 2080, not the TI version. Which would more than likely not be the same performance wise. I'm not denying the benefits, just not sure the cost is justified at this time.

I'd be very interested to know your settings, Vincent.

I am toying with the idea of a 2080.

How is it with shadow settings, cloud draw at 150 miles, rain, etc.? What AA?

Could you try cranking them up and letting us know some results? 😛

The 2080 is far more reasonably priced.
