November 21, 20205 yr Hi, Have held off from P3D v5 for now because of the reported issues. It looks like - with a clean reinstall - many of those issues are fixed now, so I might give it a try. I understand that it does push more work to the graphics card though, right? My question is; with only a GTX970 do you think I am going to see any performance benefits from v5.1? Rest of the specs: i-8700k 16gb Ram, Windows 10 Home 64. Appreciate your opinions - many thanks, Daniel
November 21, 20205 yr In my system 5.1 is faster and smoother than 4.5 running a 1070 card. I Earned My Spurs in Vietnam

That CPU can handle everything from GTX1XXX or GTX2XXX with ease. I still using 4770K@4,6ghz with a GTX1080TI still going in V5/MSFS2020 at 25 and 29ffps in 4K (MSFS 1080P scaled at 150) Michael Moe Edited November 21, 20205 yr by Michael Moe Michael Moe

What about an RTX 3070 - how do I find out if that will work? I have my i7 8700k in a stable 5.0 ghz overclock. The rts 3070 is available where I am and I might be persuaded to go that route as it looks like value for the money. Daniel

Daniel I would save your money and get a card later with more vram. 8gb ain’t going to cut it in the near future for P3d. i don’t even understand as to why they would Release cards at today’s prices with less vram with games being d12.the 3070 and the 3080 should have been released with at least 16Gb minimum vram. im hoping there will be a 3070ti with at least 16gb cheers mike

Daniel It will do but as said VRAM Should be minimum 11gb if you ask me going forward as you do. Michael Moe Michael Moe

The only new 11GB I see on the market in my area is the 3090 (at 24 GB and $2000 CDN.) Is that about right? Daniel

Maybe you can get a used GTX1080TI or GTX2080TI Those are still very good (all-though GTX1080TI in 4K,Dynamic lights at night , FSLA320, ORBX TE , FT EHAM hitting GPU usage around 80-100% with 30fps medium to high settings) Michael Moe Edited November 27, 20205 yr by Michael Moe Michael Moe

Amazing how pricy those 1080ti still are, even used! But I'll see what I can find. One question; if I'm not on 4k, so I still need 11GB?
