September 17, 20205 yr I've read that unfortunately with FS2020 gain is minimal compared to 2080Ti, much better with most of other games. Hope they're wrong because I'm planning un upgrade as well. Riccardo Viecca

September 17, 20205 yr tried at 6am PT today with no luck, you had a secret to get it???!!!! Anthony Neumann
September 17, 20205 yr I tried, and like most folks, couldn't get one. Gains look decent, at least at 4K https://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/msi_rtx_3080_gaming_x_trio_review/10

The 3080 might be a great update for everybody with an 8GB card, like an regular 1080, or a 2070/2080. But from a 2080Ti, not so much: you'd want to wait for the 3090, assuming you have a CPU powerful enough to really push it. Umberto Colapicchioni http://www.fsdreamteam.com FSDT on Facebook
September 17, 20205 yr can the 2080ti run in 4K, your saying the that card would be better than the 3080 for FSMS? Anthony Neumann

Yeah I agree, unfortunately flight simming is its own class different from gaming, or workstation type loads and I would really want more than 10gb if I were to buy a new gpu for a flightsim rig. The 3080 20gb version is most likely coming at the end of october though, skus and leaks from aib partners have pretty much confirmed it. Other than that the 3090 will make a great future proof VR/flightsim GPU.

September 17, 20205 yr Warning bad language😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDyD-mPoryU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW8oo5RhXdE Edited September 17, 20205 yr by G-RFRY Raymond Fry.
September 18, 20205 yr The 3080 has arrived in Australia and costs no more than what I paid for my end of life 1080ti two years ago. Very tempting only problem is the 10 gig vram - one gig less that my current card and IMHO not enough for flight sims going forward. On the other hand I expect the 3090 to nudge 3000 AUD when it releases here and probably overkill for my needs especially as I "only" have a 8086K cpu to pair it with.

Hope they're wrong because I'm planning un upgrade as well. Reviews and benchmarks specifically for MSFS are showing significant improvement in 4k improvement. A nice improvement in 1440p. Slight if anything in 1080P. @Paul_ To the OP. Do you happen to run P3DV5? I'd like to see how it runs on that too. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
September 18, 20205 yr I'm lucky, or I will be. Moving to the Channel islands. No VAT!!! Will save 130 quid. 😁👍
September 23, 20205 yr As I understand things, if you are running at 1080 resolution, then going from something like a 2080ti to the 30 series will see conservative improvements, but where big gains will be experienced, wiil be for those like me who run 4K or VR. I'm parting with some serious cash at the moment as a new build has been installed, and I will be laying my hands on a 3090 when available. Don't tell 'she who must be obeyed.'
