Curious about the 3000 series

[ComSimPilot 623]

Hi all,

Seeing the rumors that the new Nvidia 3000 series cards are around the corner, I am curious to ask if any of you using the upcoming MSFS can comment on how a 2080Ti handles. Is it actually GPU the limit?

I read the 3080Ti will have huge amount of ram besides the core count increase.

If these new 3080Ti are a game changer in MSFS I'll be hard to resist not selling my 2080Ti after some months. I guess in a week I'll know how to max out my 2080 Ti, just curious.

The other question is how much these will cost and how much 2080 Ti prices will drop. I bought my 2080 Ti on launch at 1600 EUR (!) so I would hesitate to lose 1/3 of its price and sell it. (Now that I think of it, maybe I should wait for 7nm CPU to pair it with the 4000 series).

it's become clear after watching several videos that the 2080ti @4k at least struggles to maintain 60fps - even with some settings turned down.

Regarding potential price drops for the 2080Ti, from what I've read you won't get massive bargains just because the new cards are coming out - remember Nvidia have now stopped manufacturing the 20 series - so stock will be limited anyway. 

Personally I'm holding out for a 3080Ti 

 

EDIT: to add, with your rig the GPU will be the limit.

2080ti struggled in 4k most certainly.  Chewy has a powerful rig and going into kennedy at a dip to 9 and avg's in the teens.  I'm hopefuly the newest 3000 card can get us the power we need to do 4k on MSFS.  I'll be upgrading to it for sure.  Though for now I'm guessing I'll be dropping from my usual 4k to 1440

Me too, but depending on the price. I am not gonna pay 1600 Euros for it. However, when the 2080TI was launched for that price, as ComSimPilot said,  probably 3080ti is gonna be the same. In that case I need to wait until it decreases or look that the 3070 has to offer.

Yes it says that everything is until launch including performance.

Maybe we'll get some more information on the 1st of Sept. I hope they will reveal the prices, I am just waiting for the new cards to decide on my new system. However, it looks like I won't be able to affort the new cards anyway.

Are there any benchmarks available yet for msfs according to AMD vs Intel? Would be nice if I could at least decide on if I get the 3900x vs 10700k.

Intel and AMD will be showing off the new product`s next month sometime, i intend to upgrade my MB and CPU but want to find out what`s in the pipeline, GPU next year

That's probably a good solution for people with a good system, right now. Mine is eight years old and not useable for simming anymore. So, I really don't wanna wait for the AMD 4000 CPU series. Therefore it would be nice to find out if the 10900k or 3900x is better choise. I have the feeling intel is the better one for gaming. However, I will use it for recording games and video editing and for that AMD seems the better choise. When it comes to the GPU, maybe I should look out for something that covers me until the next gen GPU appair. Realisticly, we'll first see the 3090/3080ti, and these are gonna be really expensive. So I have to wait anyway for the 3070 Super or AMD Big Navi. So why not buy a 5700XT right now.

Well you can find plenty on Benchmarks on YouTube for the CPUs from testers of the present CPU`s and GPU`s
