Has anyone seen or run a 3080 vs. 3080TI with MSFS specifically, and seen much of a difference? There is a large delta in price, and from what has been published not that much performance gain...

You will get 2 gigs more vram and gain a few fames over a 3080. If I had to buy again and I could afford the extra 400 dollar  l would just for the 2 gigs vram do it.  It is definitely the card of choice if avalable. 3090 is even better but at a high cost but more Headroom I don't know if it's really worth the extra $1,000

regarding the comments about LG OLEDS, I can confirm FS is absolutely mind blowing on one of those - wish I had one permanently connected to my PC 

I wish I can see in person how MSFS looks on an LG OLED 55" screen. It supports G-SYNC right? Is G-SYNC and Variable Refresh Rate the same thing?

That should be one powerful system...you'll see the lights dim😉 Also consider the AMD 5900X / 5950X because those are absolute beasts (lots of info on youtube).

Couple of other consideration (I just went through a similar build so just wanted to share):

- Run a Gen4 NVME M.2 as your primary drive. Win11 boots from cold in 4s for me!

- Consider an AIO water cooling setup for the CPUs to keep the processor and ambient temps down

- Get the fastest / lowest latency DDR4 RAM you can get. It's fairly affordable at the moment

- Don't skimp on the power supply

- If you're picking up a new case, find one with good airflow (Gamer's Nexus has some great reviews)

Enjoy!

Thanks Dylan.

Yes, I need a 850W PSU. I'm looking at DDR4 3600 RAM 32GB and a gen4 1TB NVME m.2 drive.(I have two 500GB SSD's in my current system which I can use in addition)

I already use an AIO water cooler, so that's a no brainer.

My existing case is good to go, so I can save a bit there.

 

Exciting times, hopefully have it built by Christmas. 

Then I'll have to find excuses why no-one has had any presents off me 😐

I´d highly recommend a LG CX/C1 OLED 48" or bigger. It has Gsync and the quality is just amazing.

I'll have a look at that. Maybe a little too extravagent, on top of everything else but I've been known to get carried away.

Which one is 70%?

Well Filou, they both look pretty good to me! The bottom one is sharper, though.

It's developing into another 30 fps / 60 fps argument, which is pointless as it can be down to personal perception.  All I can say is 4k 100% looks sharper to me than 70% on my 4k native monitor.  If it didn't  then I would be worried!  Whether the difference matters ENOUGH to some people is a different question.

The comparisons I saw before purchasing my GTX 3080 showed a small improvement in fps. I was lucky to buy my EVGA 3080 Ultra for MSRP of $890 the 3080 Ti Ultra is $1420 which is 60% more money. In the end I am happy the way MSFS runs at 3440x1440 on ultra.

I don't really see where the insult is.You may be too sensitive

As sensitive as the mods that keep giving you holidays, possibly.

Yes, same thing. And yes they have very good g-Sync, not quite as good as a hardware based monitor, but nonetheless very very good

The Mods can ban me for life I would continue between two throats of excellent wine to answer you orally.Try to find other argument, I have no sensitivity on this side.

Indeed both are excellent but i won't keep the suspense too long!

The first is 100% & the second 70%.

I’m not trying to find any arguments. It appears that’s your aim.

When looking on a mobile/cell screen, you can’t tell. However as soon as I put them on LgC1 screen, I could see the differences straight away. 
Which kinda proves the point, does it not?
