September 2, 20205 yr I'm skeptical that a 3080 is going to too much. MSFS has always been CPU intensive. I have a 2070 super running ultra 2560 X 1080. If the traffic is low then I see "Limited by GPU" every once in a while. If the traffic is up "Limited by Main Thread" is prominently displayed on a regular basis. Until I see bench marks the 2070 super will have to do. But... digital foundry found the 3080 runs games like METRO, Control, and Battlefield 5 flawlessly at 4K 60 fps that brought the 2080ti to its knees. DF found that the 3080 was 68-92% faster than the 2080ti. That is significant. However, I think MSFS is more CPU dependent than developers are letting on. I have noticed FPS from GTX1060 to RTX2080ti didn't scale when it came to MSFS as it did with console games. Digital Foundry did a fantastic video on that about a month ago.

September 2, 20205 yr Yeah that's why I have ben saying wait for benchmarks in theory it should be a fantastic upgrade but in practical experience who knows what we will see. One thing I havve found is running an FPS monitor may be more useful if you have it showing CPU cores and GPU usage. I find my CPU is not maxed out but my GPU seems to be the limiting factor so thats why I am concentrating ona GPU upgrade. But I also play other games besides MSFS so I will take across the board performance gains even if MSFS improvements are more limited. And other have pointed out DX12 can change a lot of this in a lot of ways.
September 2, 20205 yr If the rumors are true and there is a 3070Ti coming, then most will go for that or the 3090 me thinks. The 3080 will be like the A330-800. Eric
September 2, 20205 yr I’ve got limited by gpu at 3840x1600. 2080ti. Hoping the 3090 allows breathing room. But like we say, who knows if it is stuck being cpu bound. Man I wish they had just released it as DX12. It seems outdated all ready in that sense...!

September 2, 20205 yr a RTX 3080 will be bottleneck by your CPU. even in 4k. https://fsprocedures.com Your home for all flight simulator related checklist.
September 2, 20205 yr Commercial Member I really think that the 3080 will be sufficient. That is what I'll be going for. Now if you have $1500 to spend and money is not an issue for you, then sure the 3090 sounds perfect.

September 2, 20205 yr 4k is very nice especially on a curved 55" OLED.

When I run MSFS with Windows Game Bar open, I find that it's using up 90%+ of my GPU's capacity, but well under 50% of my relatively ancient CPU. Now, granted, it may be because the sim isn't yet fully optimized, but it really appears that the latest iteration of MSFS seems to have reversed the old paradigm of taxing the CPU more than the GPU.

I see probably 2 3090s in the future of my new build .... Nooo, wait a second,now. Only 1 per house-hold. I'll be watching you! 🙂 Edited September 2, 20205 yr by joemiller
