January 23, 20233 yr I'm 83 and I have been with MSFS, and all the iterations, from the beginning. My previous builds were not state of the art, but state of what was affordable. Not this time! Not all components are the very very best, but those that count are. The performance is all I could hope for. Ultra settings on an ultra-wide 3440x1440 monitor makes flying in MSFS so immersive you can smell the hot engine oil. Really! I ended up getting a Founders Edition RTX 4080 at Best Buy at MSRP. The 4090 may help in VR but the 4080 renders MSFS with room to spare in my opinion. Here is my list.

January 24, 20233 yr Asus Prime Z790-A 4 hours ago, williambuxton said: MB: Asus Prime Z790-A Very Nice build. Similar to my Build I just did over Christmas. Getting very good performance in MSFS and with VR. Enjoy!! Just FYI in case this affects you. I noticed you have a Asus z790 board. I been having major pauses in MSFS when using the on board network connection. But it is fine with the built in Wifi. Turns out, Thanks to another poster here at AVSIM that pointed this out to me, that there is a flaw in the new i226-V network chip causing network connection instability problems. This indeed was causing my long pauses, making MSFS almost not usable. Since there is currently no fix for this, I just added a PCIe network card. Problem solved. MSFS is now smooth as silk.

January 25, 20233 yr Hello, i think 4090 is more suitable for 4k because of high vram. For future use you can consider this. At february amd will release their new generation 3d vcache cpu's, according to benchmarks released by amd, their game performance at least %20 more from 13900k maybe at same price. Just my 2 cents.
