What GPU do you have?

I currently have a 2080ti.

Ok, so what I'll do is probably get a GTX 1080 or a 1080 ti then get the 4K monitor.

Thanks for the help, Ollie.

I was thinking about one of those as well, but now we're talking some serious money.. lol

That's also good info on the AA settings in P3D, thanks for mentioning it.

I have most of my graphics sliders and settings at very high or max and I still get great performance, but it's nice to know I can probably turn some of those down with a 4K monitor and still get great image quality and performance.

I always thought sitting close to a large screen for a prolonged period of time damaged your eyes. The same as when you are a kid your parents tell you not to sit very close to the TV. I sit about 24 inches away from my monitor so hopefully, if I got one it wouldn't hurt my eyes.

 

If the TV doesn't work can you recommend a good 4K monitor under £500 or is that impossible for that price. 

 

Thanks, Ollie.

I was thinking about maybe getting the BenQ 32" 4K monitor.

I currently run a Gigabyte 1080Ti with 11gb DDR5 in to an HP32Q @ 60hz and 2560x1440 resolution, the image quality is excellent and I get excellent frame rates, even in some very demanding airport environments with lots of AI traffic and high settings in P3D.

Would my performance take a hit with a monitor like Ray's BenQ..??

The BenQ is an excellent monitor that can also run at 30Hz as well as the normal 60Hz. I can achieve frame rates around 30+ on the ground and locked to 60 when airborne even with UTLive settings around 80%.

The 1080Ti is a great card. No need for the 2080Ti which is just an expensive white elephant if you only run P3D as it can’t currently take advantage of Ray tracing.

Although the BenQ is expensive (£640 UK) you’ll keep it longer than your graphics card or CPU. Good long-term investment.

Thanks for the info Ray. I ordered the BenQ EW370OU earlier today, got it direct from BenQ USA in Costa Mesa California (Ebay sale) for $499 delivered, which seems like a pretty good deal compared to the 640 UK Pounds you mentioned. It should be here next week.

I can’t find that monitor. Are you sure of the model number? Is it really a 37”?

Sorry Ray, my mistake... It's a model EW327OU, a 32" monitor.

I've noticed my BenQ having 29 mhz as a refresh option, not 30.  Have you noticed that?

And a 59 mhz instead of 60.

I did even though I selected 30. But since then I’ve reverted to 60 as I could detect a hint of flicker when using Windows Explorer. Plus the fact that once airborne the fps was staying around 60 so clearly there is enough power to support it and no flicker. 😃
