Thanks Gerard

Do you run 2 x TVs off your server and 1 off your client? I've got a 7900X3D laying around I can use, but will need to buy a second video card for the client machine. Trying to work out if I should get a cheaper 4070 or another 4090 for the client PC?

Any suggestions?

 

Yes. Server : 4099 > 2x 43” Sony Bravia 100 hertz 4K TV. Cliënt : 4080 > 1x 55” Sony Bravia 100 hertz 4K TV.

It all depends on the amount of detail you want.

Using tLOD at 50 or 150 makes a big difference.

Car traffic at 10% has a lot less impact on performance (especially at approach with a large airport in front of you ) than 20%.

Thanks - I think perhaps I'll go for the cheaper 4070 Ti in the client. Out of interest how do you have your 3 xTV's setp? 1 to the left, one in the centre and 1 to the right? Which TV's does the server run? 

Thanks for your advice - just trying to get as much infomation as I can to make informed choices before I go and spend a lot of money. 

Other question I can't seem to get an answer to is about displaying the virtual cockpit of airlines like the PMDG and Fenix. I think the EULA allows me to run a second copy on my client, but I'm not sure how much extra power this will draw on the client machine - Does the client actually make any sim calculations or is it essentially just slewing around? If its slewing then it should use a lot less processing power.

See my answer about which pc has which gpu and TV’s connected.

I use Prosim, a professional cockpit suite software who has its own flightmodel.
