There is no SLI support for the 30xx cards. Nvidia has changed to NVlink, but that is only supported by the 3090 card.

Is it really? My CPU sits at around 25-30% running MSFS while the GPU is around 80% load.

It might be main thread limited. Meaning that for example if you have a 10 core CPU, of them 4 is pushed to max and the other 6 is idling, you will get 25% CPU load and also CPU bottleneck.

Am sure it will make 4k shine like never before, 20% faster than a 3080, I hope so, I just paid £645 for a 3080, a 3090 is £1500, so yer I hope its 20% faster at more than double the cost. If you can afford one I say good for you, enjoy!

For those who can afford one I still recommend waiting until the real benchmarks come out. If MSFS is CPU limited we won't see an 20% increase. The extra vram might boost FPS a lot, or do nothing if MSFS doesn't need it.
I can afford the 3090, but the 3080 seems the most sensible choice. 50fps average is sufficient for MSFS, but that 3090 might give a smoother experience which might make it a better choice.

Like always, although if I remember well, the only ones that have Nvlink are the 3090s.

Well I am in no hurry to fork out cash - the 2080Ti is actually working quite good. I'll wait for proper benchmarks and until the dust has settled and then I'll probably end up getting the 3090. Probably won't hurt with more GPU muscles as the add ons for MSFS will surely be more and more complex as time goes forward.

It would be better to wait until those addons are released before forking out $1500 for a new graphics card (particularly if you already have an RTX 2080Ti). It's entirely possible that you will not need a 3090, unless you have a fetish for triple digit framerates.

it is not yet known what performance will be with PMDG

I am absolutely buying it on launch day. I just hope Nvidia get's their stuff together to let us buy this and not let the BOTS come in and out of stock me. The 3080 launch was a disaster.

For me, the rumors of an RTX 3080 Super with 20 GB vram have thrown a wrench in my plans. I tried to get a 3080 this week, but maybe it's best to wait? I don't see myself buying a 3090.

If the SLI works in the MFS, it would have more sense to buy 2 3080 and to have more performance at the same cost.

I used to think that way.  SLI brings with it a whole bucket full of troubles...I've done SLI twice now, with the 980Ti and the 1080Ti, and can't say I'd go down that road again.  Driver problems, flashing textures, having the entire SLI config menu disappear from the nVidia Control panel etc.  Just when you get things settled down, another Windows update and driver comes along and you're back at it again.  Too much butt pain unless you really like troubleshooting and configuration drills.

Just watched this video with the RTX3080 in FS2020 in 1080p, wow thats just terrible performance, i can get better with my 1080ti.

The following cards have already been leaked:

• RTX 3060 (Ti) with 8GB VRAM
• RTX 3070 (Ti) with 16GB VRAM
• RTX 3080 with 20GB VRAM

The following cards are rumoured by reputable leakers:

• RTX 3070 (Super) based on GA103
• RTX 3080 (Ti) with 12GB VRAM

NVIDIA have confirmed that they will be rolling the rest of the GeForce 30 series line-up sooner than previous generations, so if you want something better than the RTX 3080 but costing less than the RTX 3090, it is worth waiting. The RTX 3090 is mostly a replacement for the TITAN RTX, not the RTX 2080 Ti. It has lots of VRAM that will extremely rarely be saturated by 4K gaming and general consumer usage.

He's using render scaling at 150, that makes it close to 2K. But the worst thing is that he is using the internal vsync which is broken.

Well to be fair the guy did admit his settings had room for improvement.
