Awesome by that time we will have 3080 Super or maybe 3090 Super and dawn of 4th generation 4080/4090 cards will be out with 24gb/32gb VRAM. You know it is coming lol.

Insane... to spend that amount of cash on extra vram. I’ll wait a year and get it relatively cheaper. mike Might as well buy near the start of the cycle, new GPU prices don’t really change (look what a 1080Ti was selling for on its last day of production, i think the same as release day). GPU prices are crazy. Flip side, P3D really wants a great card with lots of VRAM to run well and avoid instability.

As soon as the image moves, the image gets grainy, the pixel transitions are badly visible. Same as anisotropic filtering. I guess at 300ppi+, AA should be no case. A 32" 4K screen does only have 140ppi. Talking about 3090, it is right now a rumour, but it is suspected Nvidia will manufacture their cards in the beginning of 2021 at TSMC, because the yielding rate at Samsung is currently very bad. Some also said the power consumption will drop down to a significant level, the fabrication process should be the reason for that. I can`t imagine that, but who knows.

A 32" 4K screen does only have 140ppi. AA is pretty subjective. I do have a low setting for it in P3Dv4.5 but as the machine is off can’t tell you what. I suspect the larger the display the more obvious it becomes. It can also be exacerbated by poor scenery design. Only 140ppi! 😁 Imagine how those with huge displays cope when a 55” only gives you 80. That’s the same as a 27” 1920*1080 display! Guess why all UHD monitors are 32”. It’s the optimal size when you consider the display has to be used for a lot more than flying. Ray (Cheshire, England).

If I was running at 1080 then I wouldn't even have given it a second thought, I would have been more than happy with a 2080ti. But as I have been running my 43" 4k monitor with a 1080ti for so long, I really need to up my game. I've just had a new build with a I7-10700 running at 5Ghz and 32Gb RAM, so this will be the icing on the cake. But as I say, I really think a 3090 would be money well spent elsewhere for those with a 1080 display. I run at 1080 so I’m hoping to pick up 2080ti I think it will run p3dv5 nicely. jim thank you,Jim MSI A520M-A PRO,AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 8 Core, 16 Threads 4.1Ghz,Arctic Freezer 36 ARGB Black Edition CPU Cooler,MSI VENTUS 2X Nvidia RTX 4070 12GB Graphics Card,Corsair 32GB Vengeance LPX (2x16GB) 3200Mhz DDR4 Memory,Gigabyte UD750GM 750W Gold Rated Modular PSU,Kingston NV3 2TB NVME M.2 GEN 4 SSD.

October 23, 20205 yr Moderator These prices are ridiculous and remind me what CPUs were costing in previous years.

I run one on my iRacing rig and it doesn't choke on anything at all. Having a 1080Ti wouldn't keep me on P3D by any means but let's not go there 😉 LOL Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
