Greatest money I spent on flight simulation in the last 3 decades (And I spent a LOT!). Frame generation alone is worth the entry cost, and that is the greatest technological achievement in any sim in the last 20 years imo. For the first time ever, I simply do not tweak. Never ever. There is simply no need. I had to find a new hobby haha! Edited January 30, 20233 yr by Ianrivaldosmith

Which, unfortunately, doesn't work under VR. And it's unknown if it ever will. But on a 2D screen it's indeed a great jump.

January 30, 20233 yr David, I cannot comment on coming from a 1xxx to a 4xxx but I can comment on coming from a 6800XT to a 4080, and all I can say is WOW. As to wheter it was worth it in $$$, I can't comment until after I see what the 6800XT will bring me on Ebay 😉 Ryzen 7 5800 x3D, Asus Tuf Gaming X570 Plus, Geforce GTX 4080 F.E., 32GB Corsair PC-3600, 1TB Samsung Evo 970 nVME SSD, 1TB Samsung Evo 870 SSD, 500GB Samsung Evo 870 SSD

January 30, 20233 yr Upgraded from a 3090 to a 4090 myself. I was satisfied with the 3090, the 4090 put a big smile on my face. My performance doubled. I now have buttery smooth performance with 60fps+ with a full suite of addons running including the Fenix and Pmdg's at the busiest Airports in NA. The 4000 series cards and DLSS-3 are a game changer when it comes to MSFS imho. Replacing my AMD5900X with the 5800X3D was also a very worth while upgrade, for anyone thinking about it. It produced around a 20% increase in performance over the 5900X. That was back when using the 3090. Floyd Stolle www.stollco.com

Remember the decades where we were always told that we shouldn't expect to put the sliders full right in FSX, FSX-SE, P3D until a couple (or more) hardware generations later? Those days are over, MS/Asobo are welcome to add more complexity as far as I'm concerned 🙂 I know that some people refer to this in a slightly negative way as "brute forcing" our way into sim Nirvana - honestly, I don't care.

AlphaSync Sapphire Intel Core i9 13900K Gaming Desktop PC 32GB RAM 2TB SSD RTX 4090 WiFi Windows 11 Home | Ebuyer.com Yes, but you'd be wasting your money on a 13900K if the machine is used for flight sim only. 13600KF/13700K would be just as good. If you run other apps or do Blender or compile-type work with it then yes it would be a great system. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
