For X-Plane it is difficult to predict, because with current hardware, the CPU is the bottle neck. Yes you would have overhead for 8xAA, 4K, shadows etc, but LOD and reflections are still CPU limited. Bets are still off for Vulcan. But currently, I don't believe it is worth the extra money, it is better spent on a top of line CPU. Things can change over the course of 2019, if you have the money, go for it.

I am still choosing a new CPU for X Plane  11 . I don't know which one i could take.  Because they are all very good. I7 8700K / i7 9700K / i9 9900K . Because of that reason that reviews are not available for XP11 i am still struggling with my choose.

I don't think that you will ever see a real difference between these CPUs in X-Plane in real life! In many cases the CPUs aren't really busy but locked, the resource monitors simply can't show you their real situations.

A wee bit OT but is there any real resolution advantage with the 'NVidia Control Panel' feature that allows a resolution increase from native or is it merely wishful thinking?

Do you mean DSR?  Worked very well in FSX but I can t see any advantage in Xplane. Go ahead and give it a try. Set DSR to 2x, 3x, or 4x in Nvidia Control Panel.  Set the new available resolutions in Xplane. Since the antialiasing is not too good in Xplane I hoped DSR would help, but not so much, unfortunately.  YMMV.

DSR helped a lot for me. Running 3K or even 4K on my 1080p monitor is the antidote to X-Plane's bad AA. Why wouldn't it work, it's pure math. But don't think you'll get away without AA even at 4K. So it's def. GTX 1080+ territory. Currently running in 4K viewing via Playstation VR (Cinematic Mode) and it's pretty much mindblowing.

Yes. Meant that with my GTX 1060, the DSR plus AA is too much. Might fiddle around some more with it.

Yeah, DSR is a brute force method to get a clear picture in X-Plane, and also to empty your wallet... 

I asked Ben if he had any plans to introduce TXAA (temporal AA) to X-Plane... "maybe" ...
