Have fun in september watching the launch for the nvidia 3000 series, you probably should have waited.

You are probably right, but my mother always told me that a bird in the hand is better than ten on the roof. Also, the 3000 cards are probably not going to sell at the same price as the 2080ti's. They might, but that is not what happend last time a new generation cards came in. The 980ti stayed pretty much the same price, and there was only marginally better performance between it and the next top-of-the line TI card, but the premium on cost was tremendous. Do we have a reason to expect a major leap in performance between 2080ti and the 30x0TI?

I'm not made of money, but I don't spent too much on things that maybe many others value more than me. Also, I've been pretty lucky with my last card which was gtx980ti that I bought back in 2016. The next gen cards (the 10X0ti etc) weren't big enough of an upgrade for me to justify the cost. The 2080ti signifies a 100% upgrade in regards to frames on many modern games, but we shall see. I have a i7-6700k @4.5ghz and 16gb of ram, and which is often the case with upgrades, I might just end having up upgrade other bottleneck-components later 🙂 

Pick up a quad-channel 32 GB RAM kit and you should be golden. Looks like most CPUs will be twiddling their thumbs, while the GPU and RAM will be taking on the brunt of the work...

Just a note, Skylake-S does not support quad-channel RAM, only dual-channel. Whether two or four sticks will work best depends on the topology of the motherboard.

I have two PCs dedicated to flying XP11 for which I made 10TB of Ortho4XP tiles. Nonetheless I got carried away by many other things I haven't powered up these computers since last year.

Only because MSFS is coming out in the past week I spent several nights to restart and clean up my flightsim PC both physically and files/storage wise. Now I have a clean full 1TB SSD waiting for MSFS only. I also spent hours flying XP11 only to make sure that everything is running fine and they do.

Amazingly my two teenage kids are also very excited about MSFS. I had tried hard to get them to enjoy the flight sim but they were never interested. But this time is so different - they heard the words about this new incredible flight sim even before I mentioned it to them. They're waiting for the first fly just as much as I do. Kind of unbelievable to me as their dad.

Yesterday the logitech g pro (saitek) panels arrived. My body is ready!! 

Does MSFS support external MFD displays for gauges?  I dont own these but i do own the Thrustmaster MFDs and i want to export gauges onto a small screen.

Not sure, probably 1480p on a ultrawide screen. 

1480p there's no such thing.

Sorry im not very tech savvy, and I dont really know the resolutions. I guess there is a step between 1920x1080 and 4k?

Who are you referring to?

OP said her husband can't hear anymore about the new sim...

we heard this 1 year ago, actually each year same nonsense "nobody should buy the best cards, i told ya you should have waited!" lol

If it's an ultrawide it's likely 3440x1440. At such a high resolution the RTX 2080 Ti will definitely help.

Yes, that is my native resolution on this screen. Its running on 100mhz refresh. 

Oh, and just to make things clear, I am, in fact, a man 🙂
