Caseking.de

They have often at least the Zotac in stock....I bought the MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ventus 3X 24G OC, 24576 MB GDDR6X

They had 2 further models next to Zotac for at least 2 hours in Stock. Bought 12:30 local German time, and the Card is already underway. Real quick. I by often there. Very good shop and super services.

My RTX Titan I bought also there 4 months ago. 

If the 3090 performance significant better, my RTX Titan will be sold....

John, there may be some value in your claim relating to those who use 1080p monitors, but for those who drive large 4K monitors, all the perfformance tests and reviews I've seen, and there have been many, the 3090 does a sterling job and outweighs substantially it's predecessors. Whether the performance gain for any given scenario is worthwhile from a financial point of view, well that is purely subjective. BTW, unsure about the video posted by De Campo earlier, but that is definietly not what I have seen in many other tests. 

Yes. indeed. That is what I saw online too. I am running a 32 inch Freesync in 4k an in addition my HP Reverb is also 90hz 2160x2160 x 150% in Steam VR with 2xSSAA within P3D. That is a lot of  pixels.

Of course I don´t need the 24GB fully. But with MSFS I did get already more than often 18 to 20 GB at High/Ultra settings with Render 100%! MSFS is a VRAM hungry one.

Within P3D I do only need a few frametimes more for more smooth VR. I am aware that the price is a very very high one to get that. But that indeed is a personal decision.

And if the card delivers more performance as needed or thought.....than I crank some sliders further up (LOD or Autogen Draw distance at High instead of medium for instance).

P3D does use raytracing since V5.X and I assume it will need more in future. Volumetric Cloud are also VRAM hungry....I set them to Medium for now. High does kill my VR performance....for now.

 As it always has bin......software vs hardware where always in battle.......they both grow and battle each other so I am aware that there are always limits....software AND hardware ones

Maybe Gerard  has some news for us how his experience is with his new RTX 3090 which he got yesterday. He is driving more than 1 screen for his homemade cockpit...

@GSalden: How is it going? Are you happy with your new card? Is it performing better? How does it "feel"?

3090 installed. Both displays show the desktop. 
However, when enabling NVSURROUND one display goes to black.

With the 2080 Ti no issues.

This weekend I do not have much time to look into it. So it might take a few days.

I also found that my waterpump is not turning at one speed : it is stuttering. If I cannot solve it I will have to order a new one at € 120.- and it will arrive around Wednesday..

Thanks, I'll check it out. Not sure about having it shipped to the US. That's a lot of hands touching the package and the damage potential goes up and up.

I would not be surprised to see Nvidia put a 3080 20GB back on the list next year after the AMD release, but if you don`t have a 4K monitor you will not get the benefit.

Ha, that's like 5 more steps out of probably 50 already in the process.  Most sim racing gear comes exclusively from the EU now.  In a lot of cases you can get it in 1-2 days and it comes via the same shipping as coming cross country.  Only difference is customs.

It could be so nice if something would work right from the beginning! Sorry to hear that. Without a proper waterpump.....it will get too hot to handle 😉

Look forward to your results Gerard, as I have a 3090 on order.

Got my waterpump back working. Cleaned the case, fans and cables. Filters too.

Reinstalled the 3090. 
Still the NVsurround issue : when clicking Apply to activate surround one screen goes black.

Don’t know if it is the card itself or the driver that is not compatible enough...

Latest driver installed : 457.09

😱😲😵

That's a LOT of VRAM usage!

and it's not even dx12 yet!!

I fly MSFS in 4K with almost everything on ultra (100% scale) my 2080ti has never used more than its 11gb. 

A320 over manhattan : 9,4 GB

A320 over Barcelona: 8,5 GB

I would say it's more RAM hungry than VRAM hungry if anything.😁

 

Unfortunately I cannot get NVSurround to work. I have been in contact with the store and they will be back in touch in a few days.

Because of the 4K displays it is impossible to stretch one view completere over 2 displays.  The last 5” the view stops and a black bar remains.

With just 1 4K display it is working fine. If this cannot be solved I’ll have to return the card ....
