New rig this week...

Featured Replies

Finally bit the bullet and went for an all out upgrade to future proof for a while so VR will be less tinkering for me and more flying....

Its going to be very interesting seeing the difference between my old setup (i7 9700K RTX 2080 Super) to my new rig as in the specs below...

Although it cost an arm and a leg here in NZ, it should last for a looooooooooong time - according to my good wife! 🙂

Will report back once everything is installed and working....

Any tips form the 4090 owners out there would be welcomed!

Cheers

Please do! I'm planning my new system now with the intention of embracing VR. I'd like to hear what sort of performance you can coax out of that rig.

Well guys, finally had a chance to set up the new rig...and after hours of reinstalling and installing, finally was able to go for a fly in VR....

Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY YES!!!!

Flying in the Fenix on high settings - DLSS Quality - real weather (overcast raining) FSLTL loaded - FSRealistic loaded - in 3rd party NZAA airport - was getting a steady 50-55FPS...

Now that's just a first go and i haven't fiddled to much with anything...not using XRToolkit at at... all settings at native 100 except i upped the world scale to 112...

At first i thought what?? Only 50FPS? Then i realized i was taxing everything and the experience was super smooth - no stutters at all while looking around the flight-deck... gauges easily readable..tried TAA mode and frames dropped to 45 ish... but still smooth...

I am sure there are settings i should be tweaking but at this stage i am super stoked!

Congratulations on the new rig. I also upgraded to a similar machine, and can finally crank up the VR settings to Ultra. No need to use reprojection or DLSS anymore.  I’m starting to think I won’t need to upgrade further for MSFS.

Maybe one more upgrade in two years for good measure?

Yeh agree! Its been great with settings way up and absolutely no need for the OXR Toolkit fiddling that i used to do...

Im playing around with DLSS etc...decided DX12 was not the ants pants so sticking with DX11 - what do you use?

I find it all very smooth and get 55+ FPS in super detailed airports, FSLTL, live weather, Fenix etc... smooth as silk... im still waiting for it to clap out sometime as so not used to this kind of performance!

Great not having to scour the net for tweaks now...

Any suggestion you have on your rig be interested to know...

I use DX12, everything Ultra. I might get better fps in DX11.

Default bios settings.  I will eventually get around to tweaking stuff as needed, but I am thrilled that I don’t really need to.
