We will see ...  Nvidia will reveal details about their new video cards in about one and a half hours.

Maybe its hard saying for sure until hardware reaches peoples hands.  I am fairly sure MSFS will be in a lot of benchmark suites it seems to have traction that no other sim has seemed to get yet.  Also depends on what optimizations come down the pipeline for the sim.  I am fairly sure there will be some coming.  Would love to see some DLSS implementation at some level.

I’d say more likely a 3090......especially if the leaked memory is true.

I shall be watching as I'm in for the 3090. However I fear (for now at least) FS2020 will be wasted on the new 3000 series cards - at least until optimization is completed.

Maybe, maybe not but i buy the new 3000series not only fo MSFS,

mostly for VR 😎 you know you cant get enough power hehe

My guess, those with 2080Ti’s will find it hard to justify the cost. Price vs performance is unlikely to be attractive for them. Time will tell.

Hi,

I can't speak for everyone, but I do not need a 3080 for any current FS simulator at 4K.  The key is having a well matched processor, ram, SSD and video card. FPS is for pussies. 🙂

I tune to smooth frames watching CPU Vcore and temp, case fan speeds and tweaking setting options.

My P3Dv5 and FS2020 all deliver smooth flights with occasional hesitations at 4K.

I9-9900KF and Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Super match well.

and dont forget a new case maybe! 😅

Not so sure I’m ready to shell out $1,400.00 plus USD for a 3080 card and another couple hundred for a 1k watt PSU (with 12 pin power connector) if the sim is only going to use 40% of my GPU!

 

Especially since I Have a 2080 super now!

I feel like the 3090 rumors have it pegged at 1400-2000 but I suspect the 3080 plain edition will be 700-800 out of the gate....which to me is still pricey but if it works well...I may pull the trigger.

Yup, that right there and the new PSU requirement pretty much puts this new card on a pass for me, especially since I’ve already got a 2080 super Un-clocked that seems to be running well so far!

Maybe there will be a few 2080Ti’s up for sale at good prices though....

I just recently got myself a 1080ti and don't think I'll be upgrading. Only have a 1080p monitor and a second 720. I'd need a whole new case and PSU, which is well above the worth of it in my opinion.

I currently have a 1070Ti and will likely try and pickup a cheap used 2080 soon....  I already run in 4K, but then i am nowhere near really major airports most of time and frankly with Ultra out in the countryside mostly its great.....

The 1080Ti is a competent card, and on a 1080p monitor if your CPU is decent am sure youre getting a decent looking game too.
