March 6, 20215 yr Managed to find a 3080 for 1399 EUR directly from a store, which seems to be a reasonable price these days. Sold my 2080Ti for 900, so the change was not so costly. Did not have time to test it on MSFS yet, but I expect a decent boost.

I'm starting to look there also, which is a pitty because it is only ~18% faster than the 2070 Super I have, but VRAM would be enough for an experience where you shouldn't need to stop and adjust sliders in GPU intensive areas.

Maybe flight simmers just aren't using this card which I guess is kind of an answer. Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

Kind of stupid if you ask me ,I did a little reading. so you would have to spend 20000$$$ just on say 3090 gpus with a descent processor and ram to gain return of about 100$ a day?? mike

In my case, I sold my 2080Ti for about 1.000 EUR, bought a 3080 for 1.300 EUR and, since the purchase some weeks ago, I am almost recouping the price difference just by letting the new card mining while I am not using the PC.
