I’ve never heard of Nvidia partnering with any one from the FS community. Why now?

Because MSFS has made the market big enough for NVIDEA to be interested as a mass market app finally as opposed to previous flight sims being niche-products 🙂

It has more to do with the Platform (MSFS) than orbx itself. Incase you didnt notice, the last Q&A stream had an nvidia rtx logo watermarked. My guess is there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes between nvidia and asobo. Hoping to see DLSS support soon.

I wonder exactly what they are supplying Orbx with. 

I guess they are paying Orbx to do that and also don't forget, the founder of Nvidia comes from Taiwan. 

Edit: this was because of Computex 2021

What video cards? I have a better chance of finding bigfoot than a 3080 let alone one not being sold at 3x the retail price.

Luckily, you never said cunning stunts!  Dah - I've said in now instead! 😆

I would love a 3080, but like most people have said, they are just non-existent unless you want to get scalped by paying double the launch cost.

I don't know what I would do if my trusty old 1080Ti went pop.  I have a really old ATI card in reserve, but it wouldn't even look at running MSFS.

If I can  hold out, I have a good mind to wait for the 4000 series, but I think that will all be pushed back now.

I just registered for the Taipei scenery, but I need to get home to run Orbx Central now to install it.

I think Nvidia taking interest is only a good thing, especially as they will try to push DLSS 2.0, which is very good apparently in terms of balancing performance and screen quality.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Thank for informing. The Country of Taiwan is nice.
