October 7, 20223 yr 4080 16GB for me. I cant justify the extra cost of the 4090 when the performance chart looks almost identical in the Nividia press release in MSFS. Is the 3090Ti a better deal or not?
October 7, 20223 yr A good friend has his sights on a 4080 16GB to retire his 2080S. Hope his 9900k build can handle it. He's a solid G2 VR flight sim junkie and can't wait to get better than the 20 fps he gets now. With my 3080 ti FTW3 I get 45 fps with my G2. Other than being able to use ultra clouds, vs high, I see no point in a 4090/4080 upgrade. Currently running DLSS Quality and 100% render scale, it is smooth and looks fantastic, given the limits of G2 VR.

October 7, 20223 yr I have a 3090 so I'm not getting one. Even if I didn't have a 3090, I still wouldn't get one. I'd buy a used 3090 off some sucker who's upgrading from a 3090 to 4090. 😛😂 Edited October 7, 20223 yr by FBW737 Intel Core i9-10900K at 5.2GHz, Corsair H115i PRO, ASUS MAXIMUS XII HERO Z490, G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 15-16-16-36, ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090, SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2 2280 1TB x 3, Corsair HX Series HX1000 Watt PSU, Pimax Crystal LIght.
October 7, 20223 yr Because MS2020 is CPU bound, I plan on upgrading to AMD Ryzen 9 - 7950X as soon as they become available here in Auckland NZ 🙂

If you can afford it and appreciate it, go nuts I say. +1 for a 4090 day one, I hope. I really fear they won't have enough brick and mortar supply. Edited October 7, 20223 yr by VeryBumpy

I paid 2700 bucks for it a couple years ago!

October 7, 20223 yr I've got my eye on a 4070 12Gb, with PSU and CPU upgrade too. I currently have a 1060 6Gb so am anticipating a pleasing improvement and this seems a reasonable balance of cost v performance. Ian S

Not sure about price/performance, but you are most certainly not going to be disappointed with raw performance

October 7, 20223 yr I just grabbed a deeply discounted 3080, mostly because I was convinced my AMD card was causing CTDs... sim is running and looking good, and no CTDS.
