My 1080 at 8GB is really not up to the task anymore. This begs the question, what do we really need? I know 24 GB is better but do we need it. Greg I’ll be lining up to get two 3090s on launch date, and connect them SLI status. Do I need it? No, I think 10 GB is sufficient for adequate eye candy and performance. Will SLI drastically improve performance? More than likely, no, it might even create headaches. Nevertheless, I will do it because life is short, I spend a lot more time simulating than actual flying, and because I can. 🙂 Regards, Shelman S.

I could see getting a 3090, I might pick one up too for VR. By why on earth would you get two? Just one can run 8k!!! Sli has so many driver and software support issues.

I have two systems, a 7700k @ 4.9Ghz with a 1080Ti and a 9900KS with a 2080ti, and find substantial multi-core usage on both systems limited to 4-5 cores. However, it seems impossible to ascertain exactly how the lower percentage usage cores impact the performance overall. If you do decide to upgrade, for “future-proofing,” I recommend going with the 9900KS, if you find a discounted price. I wonder if you swap the video cards, how will this affect the performance in the MFS? In jurisprudence, there is a principle - you look for the person who benefits.

September 4, 20205 yr The fact that Nvidia has marketed the cards as 3070, 3080, 3090 is a huge clue that they will be adding TI versions with more memory next year which will give them even more profit. I'd be very skeptical about buying a card with only 10GB VRAM.
